heal the gut?/Chelating-Thanks to all

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the responses to the chelating question...

,

My youngest son sounds just like your 4 year old. He is now 6 years

old and in Kindergarten. We held him back an extra year to give him

some extra time for emotional growth. He is doing very well now. We

have only been doing this diet since August and we recently started

enzymes. We have seen great improvement in all of us since we

discovered our allergies. I am eager to see more improvements

especially with my youngest.

I know that I have metal issues and the Dr. wants to try chelating

with me. I am skeptical as far as his approach to chelating though.

He has advised me to do a DMPS shot. Everything I have read about the

one time shot scares me a bit. I think I will investigate this a

little further before I agree to have this done.

I am glad to read that others have seen improvements with

their " Leaky Gut issues " without having done chelating first. I am

aware that this doesn't work with everyone but I am one who would

like to do the diet and enzymes first before I agree to have my

amalgams removed and chelation done.

I have seen some great advice on this forum have taken the enzyme

approach on my own without the doctors consent. What I have seen so

far with us makes me a believer.

Thank you again,
