scared to start

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am convinced that I need to chelate my 6yo son.

His hair test (#155) is horrible, lots of therapies have had

marginal improvement. His history confirms that he is mercury toxic.

I am just really scared to start for fear of making him worse. He is

really high functioning, most people don't even notice any

differences; however, I know as he gets older, the developmental gap

will seem larger.

Of course, I know " mainstream " doctors are very against chelation,

but they have not done ANYTHING useful for us at all. Also, I think

reading about some of the group member side effects scare me a

little - I just hate to put him through that.

Does everyone experience negative side effects? Does anyone wish

they had not chelated? I guess hearing some positive outcomes would

really help me not view this process as scary/risky. Thanks for your

patience with a mom who really is trying to do her best...

Thanks Vivian, , and for your stories and encouragement.

I know you are right. I just have to do it.

So many times, people just focus on the negatives, so hearing some

positive incentives are so helpful.

I will check out the love stories on the autism-mercury site; and hope

to have our own story to contribute soon.
