Re: I'm new and uninformed

...I'm certainly not the best person on this list to help

you, but I want to give you some encouragement. My story is a bit

different from yours, as my son has had interventions sice he was 18

months old, both educational and biomedical. However, no one

suspected mercury as a problem when he was younger, so we're just now

preparing to begin chelation. My son is 17. Go for it! You really

have nothing to lose, and much to gain, and I've seen comments from

doctors who say they're seeing improvements in adults with chelation.

Best of luck!

Hi ,

The research I've read seems to indicate that progress is slower with

chelation in older children, but still possible. I'll take slow over

nonexistent

anyday.

I started chelation on my daughter when she was nine. She has lead

poisoning and was high in many other metals. She is autistic and has a whole

host of physical problems. I haven't seen the tremendous gains that parents of

younger children have seen, but I HAVE SEEN PROGRESS. I've kept

records of this and been able to compare gains made when we started

supplements, Nystatin, enzymes, and chelation with DMSA, and then later

when Lipoic Acid was added. We did ABA the whole time and the best ABA

progress was made when I started giving her the ALA with the DMSA. All the

other treatments coming before set us up for good results. We did the GFCF

diet before starting ABA which also helped.

I wish I'd known about chelation, hair tests, and everything else much earlier,

but this is the hand we've been dealt and I'll see how far we can go with it.

For the first time ever, my daughter chose a coloring sheet today at the library

while I was on their computer for two hours, colored a couple of pictures

(albeit all in one color and not exactly within the lines) and drew lines on the

back and wrote her name on them (first and last) several times. We've been

practicing writing her name and coloring, but it hasn't been anything she just

went and did on her own. The librarian put one of the papers on her door and

I'm putting the other on the refrigerator. The first paper my daughter has

really

done ON HER OWN! She is ten and a half.

I continue to read new posts and the archives on this group whenever I can,

which provide a lot of information and encouragement, but the most

encouragement is seeing the little things my child is beginning to do. I cried

a

lot before starting on the road to improvement, but things are looking much

better now.

I hope you'll keep in touch with this group and let us know how things go for

you. Best wishes!

A pretty clear demonstration they are not sources of helpful

information, or concerned about your child.

www.earthlink.net/~moriam, the files section of this listserver.

Some people also find my book on mercury poisoning described at

www.noamalgam.com helpful.

No. Not at all.

This is a very typical story describing mercury poisoned babies.

It might. It helps aboiut 3/4 of autistic children.

Here is my general info page, which has links to other sources of

information also

http://www.danasview.net/chelate.htm

It is not too late.

Liz,

I only started looking into all of this myself about a month ago.

Things I found really helpful:

The files Index for this group - pretty much everything you need is there

Other members of the group - really supportive and able to offer great

advice on most issues

Hall Cutler's book - it has a lot of detail that isn't available

elsewhere but is very accessable.

Dana's View - almost a documentary of the various treatments and their

impacts.

And finally for me, Mandi from the UK who gave me loads of advice :-)

I'm now chelating my 5 year old. It was an easy decision really. Chelation

may not cure him, but it certainly won't help if I don't give it a go.

Is it to late? I'm far from an expert, but I can't believe it isn't worth

trying.

Feel free to email me if I can help.
