Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 My son has passed two hearing tests, but continues to not understand me (even though I know he hears me). The other day I asked him to turn his fish game off. He knows the word " off " and " fish game " , but he proceeded to go to the door and try and let the dog out. He had no idea what I said, but knew that I was telling him to do something. I had to get right in his face, slow down and point to the game in order for him to understand. Please keep us posted on your chelation progress. - > > > > Hello , > > > > Our son had what sounds like a very similar list of issues. > > > > I believe the 2 things that made the most difference for him were : > > > > GFCF diet, after the initial " withdrawal period " (not fun) he > improved > > greatly.

Well, that's a good point, probably everyone has *some metals. But if they do, they're a health hazard -- if not autism now, then cancer later. So I don't think leaving them in is safer than getting them out (as safely as possible, Andy's way), no matter what the quantities are or what the current symptoms might be. (Although I can see how if you have no symptoms at all and feel fine it would be pretty hard to get motivated to bother.) An awful lot of people are taking ALA without having any idea it chelates, and I think your scenario is exactly what is happening to them -- they don't have that much metal, but since they're taking ALA once a day or whatever, the metal is getting slammed all over their bodies and making them sicker. I and several listmates are chelating siblings whose hair tests show toxicity but who are asymptomatic, just to try to prevent metal-caused health problems in the future.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Was it a DDI hair elements test with counting rules applied? Urine, blood, and challenge tests are not accurate or useful tests for chronic metal toxicity. S S My child does not test for metals, his diagnosis is dyspraxia. He is age appropriately verbal, typical 1st grade classroom where there IS an aide, not necessarily his. We are using DHA and Ultimate Omega, and more recently MB12 injections. In all honesty I'd be afraid to go any further. I have heard amazing stories of children who have fully recovered from chelation, yet I'm still scared to death. Since he's not showing metals, what is it I would be chelating???<br> <br> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hi , We started out with the GFCF Diet and added supps and lots of EPA's at first. These helped a lot on their own. We have been chelating for about 50 rounds with DMSA and just started adding in ALA. We started seeing good stuff all along mostly, the occasional backslides from yeast or problems with supps but we just keep pushing forward. Good Luck !

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi , About the only person who doesn't have ANY metals in them is someone who has chelated regularly for 3 years or more. You could pluck any random stranger off the street and give them a chelation agent and get metals out of them, even if they don't have mercury fillings. That is one reason that challenge tests are really not that informative, that and the fact that the amount you get from that test isn't really any reliable indicator of body burden. Would someone get redistribution from chelation ? Yes, every time you stop taking the chelator you will get a certain amount of redistribution unless the body is able to process every last spec that the chelator is carrying around before it decays and drops it's " payload " . This means that you get a redistribution event at the end of every round, that is why you want to use an appropriate amount of chelator (based on body weight) and give it at appropriate intervals (based on half life) and have a round that lasts long enough to get the most excretion before the ending redistribution event. (minimized by doing things properly) Per Andy's calculations, following the mathematical formula for each chelator you will have the appropriate amount of chelator " live " in the body that can be effectively processed (excreted) before it's half life expires and it drops its payload. Of course this is really my layman's interpretation of how things work, it you want an experts opinion you would need Andy or someone more qualified than me. Good Luck !

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi Neil - Your first paragraph is what I suspected. The rest of your email really seems simple and makes so much sense....I have to wonder why any professional would recommend chelation at long intervals? That just doesn't make sense. I don't think the professional MD community is out to intentionally hurt folks. All the controversy really confuses me. - > > > > > My child does not test for metals, his diagnosis is dyspraxia. > > > > Have you done a DDI hair test? > > > > >I have heard amazing stories of children who have fully recovered > > from chelation, yet I'm still scared to death.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Me, too, agree with Dana and also heard of a child who lost speech completely with NCD. Was an 8 year old, may or may not be related or may just have occurred simultaneously. If something is completely safe or has no side effects, it doesn't do anything. Anyone ever hear of regression with homeopathy? That's part of the reason I have such a hard time believing it actually does anything, never hear anything bad.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 We have successfully used auditory training/listening programs and I'm very happy with the results. It also helped greatly with language (speech is age appropriate at this time). I was skeptical but I'm definitely a believer. We used Vital Links which is administered through our OT. We continue to do it and with each CD change, the gains continue. I'm definitely a believer. Amy http://www.vitallinks.net/ Jan <paxlforme@...> wrote: this is my son too.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 the first CD did little. When we got to the second, we started to see changes almost immediately. I also noticed that twice a day was very necessary. I let him slip over the holiday and will be restarting this week. He always gives me a hard time so I try to do the sessions while we are driving in the car somewhere or when it's a quiet time so they are most effective.
