Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Raquel, Just some words of encouragement on your posting. I personally think that if age 5 were it, we would all be done. While maybe under 5 is critical, if no one over age 5 had any brain repair, there would be no point in chelating myself or my 10 year old. Correct? I have talked to many adults who have chelated from coutless years of metal poisoning that probably started as infants/small children and they cannot beleive the improvments in brain function. So never say never. I hate to think that my son whom is 3.5 years old will not recover from his metal poisoning because his chelation will take until he is 6 years old. Andy told me that starting to chelate him now and for the next three years should provide him with a full recovery, as with my mercury toxic other child. Personally, I beleive we all have some brain damage. And perhaps our children will always be different than they were originally designed to be. But I think that is true of all of us. There are so many things that change our brains and bodies, whether metal or not. A par for the course of existing on this planet unfortunately. So I would measure success on his quality of life! And it certainly is best to continue to remove his metals no matter what age to prevent any further damages. If it sends comfort your way, I beleive some healing is still possibly beyond age 5. If not I may as well pack it up myself. Since I am 33, that would mean I will never get better. I think the brain is always changing. As I have read that learning new things creates new nerve synapses in the brain. That would mean the brain can grow, change...maybe heal. And many on this board have reported great results in chelating children older than five. You have already done a great deal so far, stay positive. We mom's can never give up on our kids, no matter what " studies " may say. We certainly know that some studies are faulty anyway. Blessings for both your recoveries.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hi Jan: Thank you so much for your encouragement. I was looking for clues that pointed towards recovery of older kids, like the comment from Andy you mentioned. If you remember the post, or other posts from moms that had their older kids imporving or recovering, I would love to read them, I think at times that I am not doing enough or I may be missing something vital in my interventions. I wish youthe best for your two sons. Gratefully, Raquel > > > > First the good news: > > > > My son is about to turn 5 yo.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 my son just turned 9 yrs old and i have been doing bio medical treatments for 6 yrs now. i dont feel my son is " too old " for bio med to make a difference in his life. i have a tough nut kiddo. if he were easy and would of responded to things i did when he was 3 yrs old, he could of very possibly of lost his diag. or at least be very hf. i dont care how old he gets, im gonna keep trying. older children do very well too. case point, i am currently attacking the viruses aggressively (OLE, cumanda, lauricidin. i might add a little transfer factor #8 later) and already i am seeing a slight difference. my son was on valtrex for ever and i noticed a little jump cognitively but, valtrex ALONE wasnt enough for my son. i just now found this out. i didnt want to put a lot of suppliments into him cause of prev reactions. however, after the results of the neuroscience viral panel, my son has major issues with viruses and metals. we are doing td dmps and just started 10-05. it's never too late for any child. bottom line: find what will work for your particular child and get him/her help. may take a while " experimenting " with meds/suppliments/testing. but, when you find a piece of the puzzle, it's all worth it. vicki eugui6 <raquelerro@...> wrote: Hi Jan: Thank you so much for your encouragement.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Don't worry about the 5 yr. date. That's kind of an old idea, now that we've seen 16-yr. olds improve. My son is 25 and he is still improving on chelation and methyl B-12 shots.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I don't know for sure, of course, but you've probably hit the stall period that Andy talks about. Assuming they've reached the end, a lot of people quit during this period and their children never receive the full benefits of this therapy. [ ] 56 round Chelation update and is it too late for my 5 yo child? First the good news: My son is about to turn 5 yo. He was borderline autistic when he was evaluated when he turned 3 in 2004. He had speech but couldn't answer questions, had echolalia, intense sensory stuff and rigid ways, toewalking, flapping of hands, and catastrophic crying. I started chelation at the age of 3 1/2. He has had 56 rounds of chelation on AC protocol using TD DMPS, 38 of these rounds have been with TD ALA also, on a 3 hour for 3 days schedule. We have very mild negative side effects, just a little more crankiness and crying when he is chelating and he has a touch of a cold or allergies. There are lots of improvements while he is chelating. During the last round he asked for a mirror to look at the bubu in his elbow, and spelled the word " cat " with magnets, that his dad had taught him a few months ago, spontaneously! With 38 rounds of TD ALA under his belt, he is less than half way through chelation and he is about to turn 5 in a few days. I have read about how important it is to chelate before the age of 5, because of this marking the end of a biologically determined brain growth spur (sp) and the solidification of neurological pathways and consequent permanent brain damage, and now I fear that my son will never recover fully since he is turning 5 and is only partially chelated. Comments, ideas? I am really strugling with this. I want to share my update too with youy guys since I have also been chelating myself, alongside my child. I presented chronic fatigue (brutal), with paradoxical cortisol response and beginings of fibromyalgia, with a very depresed inmune system towards virus, so I was fatigued and sick all the time. 1 year after removal of amalgams and at least 40 rounds of chelation had not been able to alleviate my fatigue, and I spent day after day in bed. It improved sligtly this September, 18 months after removal of amalgams and 12 months into chelation. In the mean time I moved, and my improvement went so fast, even though I couldn't chelate for about 3 months, that I realized one of the factors that was keeping me down was not having perfected my particular coctail of supplements, and living in an apartment that had mold inside the walls due to internal leaks, the mold was literally killing me, even though only a few mold stains appeared in the bathroom walls. So I have done 58 rounds of chelation for myself, both with DMPS and DMSA, 55 of which have been with ALA, every 3 hours for 3 days.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Have you tried HBOT? Our son (HFA) is 41/2 and we just did our first 10 dives and are seeing great cognitive improvement. The theory is the pure oxygen/pressure rejuvenates cells that were " switched off " or are dormant due to encephalitis (swelling) from whatever caused the damage. With us it was the DTAP shot. Gosh I hope it's not too late at 5 yrs. We just started our first round of chelation so we are way behind you. Flo > > First the good news: > > My son is about to turn 5 yo.

I did not *start* chelating until my son was 5-1/2. He is now 10, no longer autistic, altho he is still delayed in language. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Our dan! (former child psychiatrist) who wasn't too helpful in many ways, but told us that the best chance for full recovery (whatever that means) is to begin chelation before 6, and have it finished by age 8, based on brain development. She and a lot of other neurologists/psychiatrists that I have read, report HUGE changes in brain development/neural pathways do not occur after age 8. Having said that, it doesn't mean that you can't get a LOT of improvement way after age 8, and there are always exceptions to many, many rules. We know that the younger the child, the best chance of full recovery, but that is not a guarantee either.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 My son is 6, almost 6 1/2, and improving each round. I think we are going to make it at least very close to the recovery finishing line. Viral treatment I think is what is going to make a huge difference for us. Never give up hope, our kids are living examples that " modern " medicine isn't always right. They still say there are few effective treatments for autism and that chelation, diets and supplements don't work. Cochran <Ladyshrink111@...> wrote: Our dan!

I can only tell you what I do, which is never imagine into the future. You have no way to know what will happen -- with your son's recovery or much else either, lol. If I can't control something at all, I let it go and obsess about things I can do something about. Easy for me to say -- this is probably one of those things related to temperament. > In the mean time I moved, and my improvement went so fast, even > though I couldn't chelate for about 3 months, that I realized one of > the factors that was keeping me down was not having perfected my > particular coctail of supplements, and living in an apartment that > had mold inside the walls due to internal leaks, the mold was > literally killing me, even though only a few mold stains appeared in > the bathroom walls. Wow! That's terrific that you figured that out and that you're in a new place. Yay! Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 > Answering my own post...I left out the main thing I wanted to say, which is that I didn't start chelating my son until he was 5 1/2, and although he still has viral problems he did lose his diagnosis. So please don't think of that 5 yo cutoff as meaningful. Sure, younger is better -- but I wouldn't be chelating my 47 yo self if I weren't slowly getting my brain back too.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I want to try HBOT, for my son and myself. I am waiting for chelation to be almost finished since there is indications that kids with metals in the brain usually don't do well on HBOT until the metals are removed, and may get worse? Just a word of caution although if your child is improving, go for it! Raquel > > > > First the good news: > > > > My son is about to turn 5 yo.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 That's the trouble, who can really tell for sure if all the metals are gone. Many, many times have wished they came equipped with a guage, or maybe a popup timer, so you could tell when they were done. [ ] Re: 56 round Chelation update and is it too late for my 5 yo child?

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 It looks like every day you chelate you eliminate between 0.5% to 1% of the total body mercury. During the first few rounds you must be eliminating loads, but by the last rounds (80's and 90's) the amount of metals must be small no matter how much you started with, right? I am thinking I'll give him 100 rounds of ALA. Raquel > > > > > > First the good news: > > > > > > My son is about to turn 5 yo.
