Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 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.
