Breastfeeding While Self-Chelating?

[Guest guest]

I am really interested in getting a hair test done for myself to see if my

chronic problems are mercury related. If I do end up having a mercury problem,

is it safe to chelate myself if I am still breastfeeding my 2 month old son?

Will chelating myself mobilize the mercury and end up in my breastmilk?

Also, if I have mercury problems I will get my son tested too. If I chelate

while breastfeeding, will he, too, get some benefit from the chelation since the

chelating agents will probably pass into breastmilk as well?

Thanks for the help everyone!

Hi

Your hair test will not be accurate until you are done breastfeeding. I think

the wait time is 3 months. Chelation is not a good idea when you are

breastfeeding, you will mobilize mercury and it will be in your breastmilk. You

will have to wait until your son is weaned. If you want to chelate your child,

you will have to dose him on his own, which you could do while breastfeeding as

long as you yourself is not chelating. I don't think anyone has chelated a child

so young though. I think 12-18 months is usual earliest age, but I could be

wrong there.

So, no chelating for you. You will have to wait on your hair test. You could do

your son's hair test though.

Hope that helps

ABSOLUTELY NOT.....!!!!!!!  CHELATING WHILE NURSING IS LIKE FEEDING YOUR BABY

HEAVY METALS!!!!!  Not even mild chelation.

Thanks for the info Taraza! I will wait until after I'm done breastfeeding to

test myself and to chelate. Do you happen to know why breastfeeding skews the

hair test results?

Thank you

Hi Joanna

Not exactly sure, you might be able to find some posts by andy on onibasu about

it. I think it makes an " all low " presentation.
