Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hi, Has anyone done TD-DMPS? What is the current opinion on this? I found this post on another list. Sorry if this has already been posted: " AUTISM : The MISDIAGNOSIS of Our Future Generations " I have studied and restudied my notes and slides today and then I looked back at this title and I was suddenly stuck by what he really is saying. Dr. Buttar, the Vice Chairman of the Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology, is saying there is no such thing as Autism. He is going WAY beyond " Autism - a Novel Form of Mercury Poisoning " and saying that the hypothesis is proven and this should essentially be called Autistic Spectrum POISONING or just Mercury Poisoning. Dr. Buttar spoke eloquently and passionately, giving his personal history and story about how he had arrived where he is today. He had treated Autism in the past with chelation therapy, become depressed by results and quit. His son subsequently diagnosed with autism, led him back into chelation, countless consult hours with Dr. Boyd Haley, a new formula, new methodology, and recovery. He railed against the medical and dental establishments and the poisoning of our society and their failure to recognize it. He presented data which showed the difference between medicine and science. There are 2500 studies in the National Library of Medicine database tying mercury to cancer, mercury to brain disease, and mercury to heart disease, but they are in the science library or Toxline. In the medical database the studies total 100 or 4%. Mainstream doctors quote the lack of studies and yet they don't even know where to find them! He showed a full body scan of a sheep that had placement of 203Hg radio labeled amalgam fillings (total of 12). After 30 days, the fillings were removed, the sheep scanned and...how can I describe it? Go to the www.autismone.org<http://www.autismone.org/> page in a week or so, pull up his slides, and see. The sheep's liver and intestines and jaw are mercury blacked out completely. The kidneys are grayed out, with a scattering around the rest of the body. The next 30 slides were compelling, even shocking. MERCURY. Off the scale mercury. I have never seen so much, and I've seen a lot of labs. Dr. Buttar documented 2 adults and his own son. Each case study had a point and destroyed the current myths we have been living with - more on that later. Dr. Buttar uses weekly DMPS IV's for adults and every-other-day TD-DMPS for children. He made the point clearly that most patients are complete non-excreters, will NOT show toxic baseline data, may very likely NOT show good challenge data, and may NOT show anything but tin, nickel, arsenic, and antimony for a few months, but then mercury will come pouring out. And it does. It's documented. He explained the mechanics of this process clearly, but I need to clear up one thing with Dr. Haley, before I attempt to relate this explanation. What I think this is: a NOVEL FORM of CHELATION. I am speculating that this presentation was a watershed event in the treatment of ASD disease. 19 of the first 41 patients with ASD are fully recovered including his own son. The rest are improving steadily (according to Dr. Buttar). He reports that the parent reports of improvement correlate highly to Hg levels on the labs, but not necessarily other metals. His oldest recovered children, to date, are twins, started on therapy at 7 and recovered, performing at age level by 10, with only one needing remedial mathematics. There are four doctors collaborating in this form of treatment, all reporting similar results. Dr. Buttar reports that many of his patients have had extended trial of DMSA chelation, with little result, but TD-DMPS has proven effective for them. What I think should happen: Doctors performing chelation of ASD should consult with Dr. Buttar or his colleagues, view his results for themselves, and attempt to duplicate these results immediately, especially in those having difficulty with DMSA. IF these results are duplicated / confirmed in even the earliest labwork, I believe ASD chelation protocol should make a wholesale conversion. IF these results pan out, this should be considered front line / first choice treatment. Dr. Buttar is more than willing to share his knowledge - he believes this is his mission in life. New doctors should be sought from the disciplines of toxicology and environmental medicine. They will fully understand Dr. Buttar's data and results, although bargraph after bargraph of Hg in the red should be compelling to anyone. I believe parents should carefully evaluate the status of their children. There are many who may have given up on chelation too soon, or received a challenge that incorrectly gave a false negative. Dr. Buttar was especially clear about this last point. Many will not challenge test a positive, even if HIGHLY polluted. He almost did not chelate an adult who showed poor challenge results, who then ended up above the Hg redline for almost a year. What is no longer valid or relevant (if results are duplicated): ------- counting rules ------- DMSA challenge to determine toxicity ------- DMPS challenge to determine toxicity ------- unmonitored chelation ------- the IOM I have no specific treatment information or dosing. I have a contact whose child is a patient and I will attempt to get more detail. I heard from a few parents at the conference that HopeWell is compounding and they are seeing good results with it. I will post more information about chelation mechanics and chemistry once I feel I have a total grip on it. Between Drs. Jim , Boyd Haley, and Rashid Buttar, I got a pretty good earful this go around. I am really feeling positive and hopeful about this. Permission is given to forward this freely.

Sorry if this has already > been posted: > > " AUTISM : The MISDIAGNOSIS of Our Future Generations " My current opinion: 1. DAN! doctors and other health care professionals are so gullible I should stop conveying accurate information and start selling the Brooklyn Bridge. 2. As you can find if you troll the archives, I reviewed this some time after the conference and explained in great detail why I found it unlikely to be accurate. 3. The most silly thing I have ever heard is that 50% oral absorption is " poor, " and that there is any remote possibility transdermal absorption is going to be anywhere near as good.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 > Hi, > Has anyone done TD-DMPS? From what I have heard, there are some or many people now using it. There may be some on this list--- and I believe there are more on the chelatingkids2 list. (I don't know this for sure, I don't read that list--- but have heard from multiple sources that there are many comments there from people using TD-DMPS). > What is the current opinion on > this? I'm sure there are many current opinions. I'd like to know more, and I figure that over time I will know more. I'm generally pretty skeptical about the dose schedule that I've heard for the TD-DMPS (every other day I think is what I heard.) Buttar says he has overcome the problem of TD absorbtion (which is generally poor for DMPS). So, this is good in that he is aware that there is a problem to be overcome........ but the question would be whether the the DMPS is really being absorbed. His formula (as I've heard it) also includes other stuff (glutathione at least, maybe other things, I don't remember) as well as DMPS. > I found this post on another list. Sorry if this has already > been posted: It has been posted (several times)--- not a problem, but if you want to read people's comments on it, you can find them back a month or 2 -- in the message archive. good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
