Guest guest Posted August 10, 2001 Report Share Posted August 10, 2001 Hi Moria, About the doctor in Redwood City that we are seeing. I don't think he knows a lot about chelation and he is not a doctor who will find time to learn about chelation. I don't think he cares about counting rules and he told me that hair test is not reliable. He will give you the prescription and some lab tests if you insist on getting one. You need to be very assertive though. His good point is that he is more open-minded than many other doctors who say thimerosal won't cause health problems. Since I can't really recommend him (yeah, we are still seeing him), I am not giving out his name. If there are people still interest in knowing more about him, please email me privately. Kym Re: [ ] Why so long? Wow, Margaret, that is great. As for why it takes so long, I look at it this way: mercury is very toxic. Therefore, you need to get it out gradually. This way it is easier on your liver and kidneys than if you tried to do it fast. Also, while detoxing you are exposed to more mercury (as it leaves) which can cause some toxicity symptoms. Since I don't want to have major merc sickness, slow is better. Also, in your case, slow will lessen the increase in regression and other merc toxic effects during the detox process. You may still get SOME negative effects from chelation, but not like if you were trying to do it all at once. Faster = higher risk. The body can only handle so much toxic garbage at a time. It is the MERCURY that is dangerous here. By the way, any idea how the miracle came about? Kym takes her child to an immunologist in Redwood City. I don't know the doc's name. Kym, are you listening? I remember thinking this doctor sounded okay to me. That was months ago. Hopefully Kym can tell you more. There is a group of 3 docs in Los Altos in practice together; at least 2 (maybe all 3) do chelation. I have reasonable evidence that one of them was using DMPS injections as of about 11/2000 (which I think is " a bad thing " , or certainly less than optimal). Someone on the list said one of them is now using DMSA (or was that DMPS?) orally. I asked for more info but have not gotten any more details. (ask if you want names & phone #s for these guys, I have them.) Don't know if this helps--- not sure where you are. You could also try asking the non-merc dentists in your area for referrals. (I actually have ads for a number of non-merc dentists in north bay and east bay I think.... again, tell me where you are and I'll see if I can find them. Or, you can find ads like this for non-merc dentists, in the throwaway papers at the HFS.... at least in the Bay Area.) I'm commenting here on docs who " do chelation " (which is what you said you are looking for)-- this doesn't insure that they are " safe " or " knowledgable " or ideal, of course. But, one must start somewhere! Good luck! Moria At 05:11 PM 8/8/2001 EDT, you wrote: >Hi > >Last night a miracle hit my house! DH wants to chelate DD!!!!!
