What did the first hair test look like?

If that had normal essential elements then maybe it is time to try

other things besides chelation?

Chelation works wonderfully for 3 kids out of 4, but the fourth one

does need to do somethng else.

Andy

His first test was a bit abnormal but not a difinitively skewed

test.

I think I've done everything for him over the years including

medication, homeopathy, muscle testing, cranio sacral, gluten/casin

free, secretin, vitamins, chelation, feingold, none of which seemed

to make any definative difference. I am particularily confused by

the current low mercury in his hair analysis because as I said

before we are exposed daily to mercury yet he has very little in his

hair, and Dr Holmes found very low hair mercury in autisitc children

vs high amounts typical children. He has sweaty feet, but I never

see him sweat anyplace else, verticle whiteish ridges in his

fingernails, allergies, asthma and he gets hives alot both when

exposed to allergins (ie feathers) and additionally when exposed to

hot things (ie a hot bath) or cold things (cold water in the ocean

or pool, a walk outside on cold winter days). He is 12.5 exposed in

utero to dental work full set of vacinations. There is no other

autism in either my husbands family or my family although there are

issues with extreme anxiety on one side of the family tree. Should I

give up on chelation? What are the other things I should try I

honestly don't know what's left if it's not mercury.

Thanks, Patti
