Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 My name is Debi Carey and I am interested in nutrition. I am fifty and my interest is relatively recent. Arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and the fatigue of modern life have left me angry at the medical community for not helping us prevent these degenerative diseases. Now I am searching for knowlege that our ancestors knew instictivly...and we are just now coming to understand. What I don't understand is why modern medicine is resistant to this knowlege...even threatened by it. Is it really all just about money with them? Thanks for providing this forum for learning and discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Deanne, hello. Of course we have time to help you! :-) If you look to the left on your screen, you will find a link to Autism Mercury's files section. In the files there are several links to Moria's site, which has detailed information on the chelation protocol and agents used here, how to test for heavy metal intoxication, how to interpret tests, etc. In the files section there is also a very useful document on supplements, with the recommendations for supplementing for chelation towards the end. Chelation done improperly does carry significant risk of harm. Chelation done using a proper protocol, with the right supporting supplements, is relatively safe (though like anything, not risk free). However most here would agree, I think, that if the child is carrying a large burden of heavy metals, the greater risk is in leaving this untreated. If you have been working as a nurse for a while, you may have also had a lot of exposure to mercury, so you may want to consider getting a hair test for yourself too (if you decide to test your boys). A number of us have found out that high mercury levels are a family thing, unfortunately. Please feel free to ask lots of questions, and do lots of reading. best wishes Rene > > Hello to all!

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hello Deanne, Welcome to the List ! I think you will find that the people on this list are very helpful and have a lot of knowledge they share freely. I don't know about your girlfriends DMSA experience, but I would be willing to bet that she gave too much and too infrequently, that is a very common theme for new people to the list. This will cause lots of bad results. Have you read the FILES section ? Lots of good stuff there. Considering that you what have heard about Chelation therapy was probably from the medical community, I am surprised you are even willing to consider it as an option ! Good for you for having a mind of your own and willing to do your own research, especially if your friend had a bad experience. Your children are in good hands ! I think if you start your research by reading up on Andy Cutler and the low/slow chelation protocol you will find it makes sense rather than some of the other not well thought out methods practiced. I recommend that you start off with ordering the correct hair test thru Direct Labs (From Doctors Data) and then post the results here or order Andy's book(s) online. Good Luck !

I am the mother to two young boys on the autism spectrum. My oldest, , is 4 years old. My baby is Caleb, and he is 22 months. I have a neurotypical daughter Grace who is 6. I have heard so much about chelation therapy...and mercury related to autism, but I just was unsure if that was the case. I have been an ER nurse for ten years, and have always believed in the medical establishment to 'do no harm.' But more and more I see so many travesties occur in the health care setting, and I want desperately to help my sons if I can. I have done research, and am a bit confused about the various chelation products. I have a girlfriend who started her son on oral DMSA and his regression was immediate. I am cautious on what to do and where to start. Pardon my ignorance...anyone have time to help me??? Thanks so much... Deanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Deanne, The best thing to do is to go into the Files section of this list and read for awhile. Then come back with your questions. Barb [ ] Hello from New Member Hello to all! I am very happy to have stumbled upon this site. I am the mother to two young boys on the autism spectrum.

Many use much too high a dose and too infrequent dosing which causes redistribution of the toxic mercury into the brain. Andy Cutler's protocol is what most on this list use and find safe: 1/8-1/2mg/lb every 4 hours day and night for 3 days (and nights) on and at least as many off. If she was using something other than this, it's not surprising she saw regression. Some docs do a " challenge " which is a single high dose which is also dangerous and almost guaranteed to cause regression. I am cautious on what to do and where to<br> start. Pardon my ignorance...<wbr>anyone have time to help me???<br> *As someone else mentioned, the FAQs of this list is a good place to start, particularly the explanation of the counting rules. Andy Cutler has also written two books, " Hair Test Interpreting " and " Amalgam Illness " . Other books which may interest you include Kirby's " Evidence of Harm " and Cave's " What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Childhood Vaccines " .
