Re: Having to wait to see a DAN one month!

[Guest guest]

Perhaps a good contact for you?

I believe Lynn Hamilton, who wrote Facing Autism, lives in Colorado

Springs. There is an Air Force Base there, her husband is a pilot.

I could be wrong--it was awhile back.

It would be worth emailing her--I did several years ago and she

responded. She is very helpful, very informed and very well connected

with the doctors.

Antoinette, the below symptoms can be signs of yeast/bacteria

overgrowth or it could be improper chelation practices.

How are you doing chelation?

Hall Cutler's book is excellent: www.noamalgam.com

He has researched the " low and slow " method of using small doses of

chelator every 3-4 hours (including the nighttime). This keeps a

constant level of chelator in the blood and allows the detox pathways

to take care of the mobilized metals and safely elminate them.

Currernt methods of chelation that include taking one large dose a

day, or every other day, or using IVs, mobilize a very large amount of

metals due to the chelator spiking in the bloodstream. This

overwhelms the body's detox abilities, and thus the large amount of

metals cannot be all excreted all at once... so they are stored back

in the body again. With even more going back into the brain than

before.

See the " Autism-Mercury " Yahoo list for more info. Andy Cutler also

posts there. Here are their group files:

Jane and Luke

SCD since 9/05

L. is almost 3. NT, but with lots of gut and sleep problems and some

SID issues. His hair tests show high metals and I haven't decided that

chelation is the best thing for him yet. Or me either.
