Hello ,

What he says is that MINERALS are not removed to any clinically

significant degree. I am slow to answer this post as I asked

him " why " he says this. His answer was mostly about that he

looked at a number of urine tests before and during chelation

and he OBSERVES this to be the case. He added that moly

MIGHT be affected a bit (and he recommends supplementing that);\

and that MERCURY moving makes [some people] waste magnesium.

I strongly suggest that if this interests you, you ask for

more info on the autism treatment list, as the particulars seem

fairly involved to me--- and I get lost quickly.

Some people say this, but I don't believe Andy is one of them.

He does (I think) say something about the rest periods helping

with suppressed copper excretion.

you know, I like to think that a " regular " diet is good- --

but I ALSO think that there are many of us who have imbalances

or special needs for any number of reasons. I'm also SURE that

what a " regular " diet means is NOT agreed upon LOL!
