Did you use the counting rules on the hair? Blood only shows current exposure and if he is toxic, it won't show in his hair because the problem is he is not excreting the metals on his own, hence the need for chelation. My son's hair show no mercury or lead but you should see what we are dumping on urine toxic metal tests during chelation. Its in there!

There is some speculation on other message boards that NCD is effective for the immune system. It does not appear that it is a chelator, altho some kids are excreting metals while using it. Perhaps it helps the immune system such that the body can excrete metals by itself. Does the hair test show disordered mineral transport? Most hair tests don't show high mercury, because the mercury is in the tissues and not being excreted in the hair. > So here is my question: would he still benefit from chelation? ALA is made by a healthy body, so if you use ALA and there are no metals present, there should be no problems. >>And would NCD > be better than any of the hard core chelation stuff?

If you are going by test results, your child's yeast might be in the brain [which is where my son gets yeast now] and won't show on tests. But, it might be other things, like viruses.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Maybe I'm a little slow at this but if you can't excrete metals out of your system how can you test to find them??????????? I planned on doing the hair test now I think if it comes out normal i've wasted a $100 dollars. Now I am really confused on what to do? HELP?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 This is such a personal choice because there are risks with chelation. Some (although this is a small number) do get worse from chelation because the metals can shift and sometimes they dont get flushed out. I would probably try the NCD first, because its less risk and slow and steady can be very good too. This is totally my opinion though, we will eventually be doing chelation, but are trying everything. Elaine --------------------------------- How low will we go?

Anythign esle is a complete waste of time and money. There is no definite way to assess metal toxicity - the above are the safest and most informative. Challenge tests tell you nothing ( and can make your child much much worse) even if there are metals on there because verybody has metals - its the ability to excrete them readily that is the issue.

Take care, Libby Chelation with no heavy metals present? Dear friends, I have been doing some research for the NCD zeolite and I am very intrigued by it. However, we had my son (4, AS) tested for heavy metals and there are no toxic levels in hair or blood, everything is quite normal. So here is my question: would he still benefit from chelation? And would NCD be better than any of the hard core chelation stuff? I know that Dana on her website mentions, that a lot of the food allergies and general issues with her sons only disappeared after chelation. So should I chelate for these benefits rather than the heavy metals? Our biggest behavioral concern is constant finger counting with humming or circle walking. I thought it was yeast, but now we have the yeast under control and it is still going on. Any comments are appreciated!
