Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Thanks to all for the most helpful advice/support. Thanks, Dana, for your answers to my GFCF group questions too. This is such an incredible resource and I'm so grateful to you experts for sharing your knowledge and support! So, in my short time researching this, I've decided that my ultimate goal is to complete chelation in the hopes of both " healing " my 29- month-old Asperger son, and having him on a less restrictive and more " normal " diet, for a more " typical " lifestyle. I've been in touch with a DAN! doctor about doing some tests, I'm transitioning him to a GFCF diet (but won't complete the process until the tests are performed). I hope the GFCF (and mostly SF) will be short-term (as I said earlier). Then I want to take the fastest route to chelation, which I'm sure will include enzymes/supplements. I just ordered the " Starving Brains " book at the advice of the DAN! doc that I spoke to. My questions are: What's the " other side " of the chelation story? Why would some people chose not to do this and instead stay on an extremely restricted diet forever? What exactly is a " round " of chelation? A dose/day/week? Once you finish the requisite number of rounds for success (or whatever the appropriate term is), do you need to stay on enzymes/supplements for very long-term?

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 chelation is a bit of a fiction imo start houstonni enzymes now get a hair test gfcf has some issues check out scd http://www.pecanbread.com/scdscience.html don't fall into the trap of doctors 50/50 advice being any sort of solution accept there is no magic 100% return to whatever 'normal' childhood is envisaged................. the advice on message boards is a bit rough and i'm not saying this is not rough but be less optimisitc and get some practical things in place so you get a feel for supplementation eliminate flouride, no more vaccines, cut down some source natural optizinc tablets remember some of these dan doctors have nice houses in hawaii........ don't bleed to death supporting thier lifestyle......... > Thanks to all for the most helpful advice/support.

For some people, the thought of moving metals in the body is more scary than the thought of leaving the metals there. Some kids don't do well with chelation, but most of them do better if you adjust the protocol. For some kids, supplementing and doing other things allows the body to clear the metals without the active chelators. >> What exactly is a " round " of > chelation? A dose/day/week? You give the chelator for several days, then you stop giving it for several days and let the body rest. That is a round.

When my son was fully chelated, he was able to eat anything and no longer required most supplements. Right now, the only supplements he needs are the antivirals.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 > What would perhaps be the drawbacks to chelation if in fact there is no real need to do so? If there are no metals, the only real drawbacks would be if there was an intolerance to the chelator. >>Isn't it hard on the liver? Only if metals are moving thru. >>Is it recommended to do some sort of liver stress test first? Yes, especially with DMSA. With ALA there is less need.
