I also started incorporating some exercises the speech pathologist

suggested

when we play and already he has learned a couple of new words in just

2 weeks so

I am thinking that chelation won't be necessary.

====I have a (rather rambling) thought on this...

You have done alot of supplementing and supportive stuff, which is a

really good idea & part and parcel of the big ideas in chelating

metals - having these in place make moving the metals around & out

much easier to cope with, than they would otherwise be....

However, my understanding is that the goal is bigger than that - the

purpose to chelating also revolves around the idea of ending up

healthy & thriving, at whatever stage of healing you can achieve,

without the need for a bunch of supportive supplements and

therapies...that thriving & not needing supportive measures to do so,

is considered a test of sorts, for the " cured " or " not cured " aspect

of mercury toxicity. If hair tests have shown mercury toxicity, then

I would consider chelating. Or lead, or arsenic, etc etc.. I would

also note that supplementing can also normalize a hair test, depending

on the toxicity involved, even while there is still mercury around and

still busy doing its " apoptosis " thing...all the supportive

supplements and such give you & your liver/kidneys/etc more " ammo " to

combat the effects, without really getting rid of the underlying

toxicity - the mercury stored in your head causing systemic issues...

Maybe you should get a diagnosis first? What things suggest that your

son is on the spectrum?

===I also do not think diagnosis is necessarily helpful, depends on

the situation & the child & the doctor(s) that are available & the

luck of the draw....Feels like mostly helpful when in need of targeted

supportive therapies, tests, and such, which ultimately just revolves

around things like insurance coding and such, so that someone can get

paid, yk? ig...but, this is based on my experience - of sliding thru

the " cracks " in past years and several of us " should have " been

diagnosed with something at some time, but, in hindsite, I am very

very grateful that it happened this way, without any (targeted)

diagnosing going on....chuckling, did hear a bunch of myriad opinions,

tho, now that I think on it

Big sigh, did all that make sense? Not even close to being

argumentative or anything like that - reread this & could appear that

way, I am thinking...tho I am very tired tonite I am just thinking

that there is more to consider here.

wishing you the best, elizabeth
