Advice on EDTA-free supplements

[Guest guest]

So I've been looking into nutritional supplements for my very

speech-delayed three year old boy. He had blood tests for lead, CDC

and metablolic analysis. All clean there. I'm also getting him a hair

sample test. That's in process. Also have a consult with a pediatric

neurologist scheduled. And he's been in speech therapy once a week

for about 5 months now.

In the meantime ... I'm looking to affect as much change as I can with

nutrition. I've been looking at things:

1. Coromega Omega-3 supplements

Anybody used this and had either any success or watchouts for it?

2. Extreme Health " Natural " Oral Chelation

I quote " natural " because it contains a " proprietary blend " of EDTA.

This part I am not sure about at all. I realize that EDTA is the

actual chelating agent - the molecular agent that attaches itself to

metal molecules - but it is definitely not natural. It's a synthetic

composite of formaldehyde and arsenic, using in industrial application

for chelation of metals in bulk products like paper. It seems counter

intuitive to me to put one kind of poison in my child's body (arsenic)

to battle another poison (mercury). Is this not just adding fuel to

the fire?

Anybody have any thoughts on that?

The rest of the ingredients on that product look good. Has anybody

found a supplement product that contains all those other elements

without the EDTA? I'm trying to avoid having to give my son a dozen

different vitamins and supplements each day.

Thanks for any ideas you have.
