Very confused by new ANDI doctor we saw today!

October 22, 2001

Hi, I have a 3 year old ASD son who is currently on his 2nd round of

chelation (by me). He saw a new doctor today who said that these 2

rounds of chelation should be enough because " kids have very small

amounts of mercury in them. " He recommended my son have a urine test

and if there was no mercury that would show that " all the mercury is

gone. " I thought mercury wouldn't necessarily show up in his urine,

and how could he be " done " after 2 rounds of chelation? My son did

improve physically when he went on the GFCF diet 5 months ago

(although he's still autistic and nonverbal). The doctor said his

autism was caused by the prior 2 years, 11 months of eating

the " wrong " foods, and it would just take a lot of time on the diet

to undo what those foods did. I am further confused, because I

thought it was mercury that destroyed the enzymes needed to digest

those foods in the first place. Can anyone give me some insight?

Isn't chelation ideally getting to the root of the problem? Should I

get the urine test? And is it ok to continue chelating based on the

hair & OAT results I got, which did indicate mercury and other

metals? Thanks in advance,

Amy (Noah's mom)
