Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Hi Brandee, I am not Andy and I am sure he will answer shortly or Moria. I would suggest you read the FAQ and all the information in the files section [andy index] to help educate yourself. This way it will be easier to decide what you should or shouldn't do and you can refer back to them. What they are suggesting you do for testing is a good way to possibly make her much sicker. EDTA is not for mercury testing or chelation. TK > Hi Andy, > > I was referred to you after posting on another group site > regarding chelation.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 Oral EDTA needs to be given every 6 or 8 hours. Like any other legitimate chelator, you do need to maintain a reasonably constant blood level. I would expect 8 hours to be OK, if that is rough try 6. Nausea is due to the EDTA being hard on the stomach, not due to dose timing problems. Andy . .. . . . . . . . > Hi. Again, I'm not Andy either.

Unnecessarily so. > To add to my confusion, I met with a DAN certified CCN yesterday and > he told me we need to address the yeast issue first before starting > chelation. He should stick to telling people to take a one a day until he learns something about chelation and autism. >I am so confused and nervous. I just don't know which > way to go first? Any advice? Get a doctor's data hair element profile and interpret it as described at /files/HOW_TO_hair_test Explore the files section of this listerver's web page, and talk to people on this group about what to do. The hair test will answer a lot of questions. > One more thing, he also gave me Kiddi-Flora probiotics. Can I just > start giving these to her? Yes. This is fine. Use a lot. Also start vitamin C and magnesium several times a day, and some vitamins A and E and flax oil or fish oil. > Thanks for any and all help! > > Sincerely, > Brandee Simmang > simman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
