Re: high metals-no symptoms-chelate (andy)?

[Guest guest]

Andy-

Thank you for responding. We have an appointment with Cave for A=

pril 28

(first available). Should we start anything before that appointment? I am =

getting

anxious and worried. And I do feel more comfortable with a doctor, but how =

important is it to chelate with a doctor? I ask because is $425 f=

irst visit and

$300 each additional. Our insurance won't cover it, so this means borrowing=

money.

In response to where-we are perplexed. We have always been cautious of meta=

ls. I

never let him play in soil, on treated wood, etc. We live in a historic dis=

trict so I know

he got the lead from people sanding their houses on our block. Maybe the ot=

her

metals from that too? We are moving because of this, because the illegal sa=

nding of

old paint continues despite our efferts to stop it.

Thank you
