Wow. Thank you so much for posting that. And credit to your doc for

not backpedaling and saying your son had been mis-dx'd and was only

maturing, but instead for responding to what he was actually seeing.

And congratulations to you and your boy, too.

Hi Neil -

Thanks for the info. How long did you (or have been) chelating for?

After how long did you notice a difference?

Thanks for you help!

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.

Hi Nell -

You indicated that chelation is performed there is no risks if there

are no metals. I suspect that everyone has a certain amount of metals

in their body??? Would it be possible that with chelation even on

someone who would have an average/normal/ok/small amount of metals in

their body that these metals could be redistributed somewhere bad

(e.g brain) and cause more damage than where they originally resided?

Thanks!

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.

Chelation is not safe if the person has ANY mercury amalgam dental fillings.
