CheleX - Chelation Formula - 120 VegCaps Supplement Facts Serving Size: 2 capsule Servings per Container: 30 Amount per Serving, % Daily Requirement DMSA 100 mg, ** EDTA (as calcium EDTA) 300 mg, ** Cilantro 300 mg, ** Chlorella 300 mg, ** Allicin (as organic garlic extract) 6000 mcg, ** Fulvic acid (as Humet-R ) 160 mg, ** N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine 200 mg, ** Alpha-Lipoic Acid 100 mg, ** DMSA - for chelation should be administered in small doses (like 5-15 mg to start) every 4 h around the clock. 100 mg for a child in one big dose is horrific. EDTA - shouldn't be used for mercury poisoned people at all Cilantro - shouldn't be used at all Chlorella - same thing, shouldn't be used at all allicin, NAC - because of high sulfur content will make many poisoned people feel much worse Fulvic Acid - not necessary Alpha lipoic acid - for chelation should be administered in small doses every 3 h around the clock. See the FAQ here and Andy Cutler's books (links section) for further explanations.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 This product is really bad news. Consider stopping this immediately before you make things worse by redistributing the toxic metals into her brain. Please educate yourself about chelation before you cause your daughter significant harm. The combination of ingredients is quite problematic as are the doses. The reasons for not using Cilantro as a chelator are described in the FAQs of this list or on Moria's site. EDTA's not a good idea either. I don't know how much your daughter weighs but unless it's 200-800 lbs these are way too high doses of DMSA and ALA (giving just one capsule). Read the FAQs of this list for the details of Andy's protocol: 1/8-1/2 mg per lb every 3 hours during the day for ALA and every 4 hours for DMSA day and night and for ALA at night for at least 3 days in a row and 3 or more days off. Also, please tell us that your daughter does NOT have any mercury amalgam dental fillings? What toxic metals are you trying to chelate? If I were getting this product I'd be having behavior problems and meltdowns, too.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Did a DAN! doctor prescribe this CheleX? I'd find another doc.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 She doesn't have any fillings. We are chelating for lead and aluminum. She is on the autistic spectrum, but is high functioning. She has adhd and had like 3 times the allowable lead from hair tests. No mercury. Or at least none that showed in her testing. We have been using PCA-RX (6 months) and BioChelate(3 months). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Betsy, Are you saying you added this CheleX (is that the name?)in addition to the PCA-Rx and Biochelate; or in place of those two? No mercury in the hair is extremely common for our children. A normally functioning person will have mercury in their hair; it is the body ridding itself of everyday exposure to toxins. It seems, for some reason, that mercury stays in the tissues instead. So, no mercury in the hair probably means she has retained the mercury in her tissues; not that she has no mercury in her system. DMSA/ALA will also chelate mercury. Check your environment for current lead exposure, too. http://www.scorecard.org/env-releases/def/lead_exposure.html Good luck!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Mercury normally shows low on hair tests, in mercury poisoned kids. Ours showed no mercury either, but plenty came out with chelation. [ ] Re: Anybody using this product? She doesn't have any fillings. We are chelating for lead and aluminum.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 We added CheleX in addition to the 2 products. We are also doing urine tests. Have done 3 so far. No mercury..that we have seen. We believe we have a virus issue and lead. I feel so torn. I really trust my practitioner. He has been my life line ever since we met him.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 It's hard, they're so nice. Probably so was the pediatrician who told you the vaxes wouldn't lead to autism. In the end, do your own research as it won't matter how nice your practitioner is, just how well your boy does. Very, very few people know how to do chelation without inducing more damage. Read all the message boards and you will find heartbreaking posts from lots of parents with nice practitioners whose children are now more autistic due to harmful chelation protocols. Not trying to be mean, just trying to keep you from using someone's protocol because they are nice and they know other things. I did read all the message boards, for about 9 months before we started. Take your time, better to pick the safest protocol than the earliest one. [ ] Re: Anybody using this product? We added CheleX in addition to the 2 products. We are also doing urine tests.

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Yes, they did a study, compared hair samples of kids with ASD and NT kids and found the ASD kids had no to low mercury coming out, that is the telling sign, not for other metals, but for mercury. So the information you get when you look at a hair test and see little to no mercury coming out is, mercury poisoning. [ ] Re: Anybody using this product?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 You know, it is probably jumping the gun to run to another doctor (I take back what I said). Finding another person to help can be easier said than done. What you should do is take time to learn about the way most of us here on Autism-mercury have chosen to chelate. After reading why we do what we do, you can decide if you wish to talk to your doctor about a new treatment plan before dumping him all together. He might be very open to what you have to say. He might not. I suppose it is worth a discussion. We aren't peddling any specific product here. What we do 'preach' is a safe, low dose/high dose frequency method to chelation that truly can make a positive difference in your child's life. What your doc has prescribed falls outside our comfort zone and raises red flags; that is why the responses have been so intense. What reason does your doc give for using all of these products at once? Is he trying to shake that mercury loose?

Is he trying to shake that mercury loose? > > Pam Well, he indicated that he didn't believe she had a mercury issue, and that with most girl patients it was lead and aluminum that were the issues. He said PCA-RX was very mild as was Bio-Chelate. This week went to see him and he had us add Pay Attention to our suppliments. My husband mentioned that the tests we had recently taken didn't seem to lowering the lead, and he wanted to try something else. So he told us to add Chelex. Since I do read this forum, I ask him about regression I heard other parents mention, and I was worried about that. He indicated that he has studied with great chelators.. and this formula is ok .... not the absolute, but no redistibution has occurred with this product and they have been doing this for years. So, I said Ok, cool.. Then I posted on this forum.. and now I am freaking out.. We have only used it 3 times, at 1/2 the dosage recommended. My daughter weighs 60lbs. We will reduce to 1/4 if we continue at all. I also will do another Elemental Hair Analysis and try to do the counting thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 If you've already done a DDI hair elements test you can post the results and we'll help apply counting rules. You need to see which toxins you're actually dealing with. Lead takes a l o n g time but even longer if it's not really what you're dealing with. Ask for the names of those " great " chelators with whom he studied to make sure they're not the folks marketing these products. Be careful about believing what doctors say, that's how many of us got mercury poisoned in the first place. Sounds like his belief about the toxins she's dealing with is based solely on the fact that she's female rather than any objective info.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 You can get the DDI hair elements test kit through Direct Lab Services (DLS) without a doc. If you mention this list, they'll give you a discount. If you have a willing doc who will order the correct test that's generally less expensive.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 We tried oral and transdermal chelation on our son with no results. Although I always recommend trying oral and transdermal first. Our 10 year old only responded well to IV chelation. EDTA and DMPS IV every 2 weeks and finally we are seeing tons of lead coming out! On the weekends between IV's I give products like this, in small oral doses every 3-4 hours Fri afternoon - Monday morning.
