Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 > Any info on the costs of different chelation methods? Well, I spend maybe $25-50 per month, with ALA and several supplements. When my kids were using more supplements than they do now, it perhaps went up to as much as $100 per month. This is for 4 kids. I don't use a doctor.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 > Any info on the costs of different chelation methods? > Most expensive parts: --dental work (if have amalgam fillings to be replaced) --doctor visits --lab tests Medium expensive: --DMPS (pills) --supplements, can be expensive depending what you use Less expensive: --ALA, DMSA --tracking things yourself, taking notes --several kitchen timers (to track doses) --books, etc. --time to read, do research, get support, etc. Obviously, methods using injections cost way way more, since this requires a doctor visit. But I hope you are not considering IVs. For me the only really expensive part was the dental work. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 > Thanks, Are the Prescription chelation products very expensive? You can find some information about the costs of ALA / DMSA / DMPS here: http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_buy_DMSA.html It is not the most thorough possible regarding costs. The cheapest of the 3 chelation agents I just listed is ALA. You can get 100 capsules of 100 mg of ALA for about $10 to $20. I think $12 to $15 is average? Anyway, this works out to 10 to 20 CENTS per capsule. DMSA is available both over-the-counter (non prescription) and presciption. See the URL above for more info. The OTC DMSA is about $1 per capsule. The prescription DMSA is more like $2 to $3 per capsule. DMPS is much more--- I have lost track of the amount, but it is 5 to 10 times as expensive as DMSA, I think. Also, if you are getting the prescription made by a compounding pharmacy, then the price will vary from one pharmacy to another. Hope this helps or at least gives you some more ideas what to look at. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Moria, Do you have any idea what it cost to have a filling replaced with composite?

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I would love to know this as well. I have amalgam that needs to comeo out. There is a dentist in Yadkinville NC that claims to be a safe one and follows the protocol for removing. I have written and asked for a very basic pricing structure but have not received an answer.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Sherry, If you get that price structure, could you share it with me, either via the board or email me? My DH is interested in getting his out, too! We're going to but heads w/our regular dentist, I'm sure. To complicate matters, my DF is a retired Oral Surgeon, and I KNOW he is going to think I've fallen on my head when I tell him I'm thinking of getting the fillings out of my son, then chelating him. So I'd like to do it without his knowledge until after the fact. I've got a call into my pdentist, and based on what his receptionist said, I think he will do it for my son w/out a problem. I just wish I could get some idea about cost!!! Actually I'd like to get some idea about the cost of all this!!!

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I sure will share that info with you when they answer me. Here is some info I came up with that might interest you: http://www.mercurypoisoned.com/biological_dentists.html I hope that link works but if not just copy and paste it into the browswer window. It is my understanding that removing the amalgam can be more harmful than when they applied it in the first place due to all the grinding and lack of proper equipment to deal with the vapors and such. We were at our dentist here in town a couple of days ago and I asked him about it. He told me he has basic equipment and that removal of amalgams isnt threat in his opinion. I do not agree with him after all the things I have read on friction to the surface and temperature adjustments to the amalgam...its pretty scarey. I have not read Andy's book on the amalgam issue but I am sure it would be worth buying before starting any of this.

There are several referral lists, and links to various different people's ideas of what is " safe " or whatever. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
