New to chelation

[Guest guest]

Hello All, I am the mom of a fabulous little 4.5 y/o girl diagnosed with Autism

at a little over 2 y/o. We were doing numerous treatments the last two years and

she responded perfectly. So well she started causing question to the clinicians

of her diagnosis, of course b/c in traditional medicine autism is not treatable.

She's your typical ASD child, vaccine injured (actually written in her ER file),

OVER-vaccinated (she received 5 hep-B shots before 18 months of age b/c the

doctor " made a mistake " ), severe GI inflammation (dx'd with EGID at 4 weeks of

life), and hypotonic. I have numerous amalgam fillings and had a flu shot while

pregnant. In addition, we live near a dental mercury manufacturing plant and

while pregnant near a coal plant. She is near age appropriate in all skills and

her IQ is very high. However, in the last 2 weeks I believe her yeast has come

back and now she's been struck by the sackievirus AGAIN. SHe was hospitalized

at 9 months from the same virus. It's been HELL. Complete behavior regression of

over a years work in a matter of two weeks! No joke. If you even try to talk to

her she cries, screams, or talks back (even when it would be in her favor)! It's

brought me back to biomedical and I obviously began her diflucan again to help

control the yeast. However, we've been prepping her for a year to do chelation

and I've always had this fear. She was removed off of most supplements b/c her

levels were actually elevated. She remained on Vit. D, due to a severe

deficiency and zinc. I cannot even give her a multi b/c her calcium, magnesium,

and phosphorus are always elevated and it worsens with a multi supplement. We

tried Zovirax, but she didn't respond. I cannot afford Valtrex, so that has been

delayed for now. Anyways, I think it's time to chelate, but I want to find out

as much as I can first. I am really leaning towards the DSMA with addition of

ALA after some time, using the Cutler protocol.

1. Does insurance or Medi-Cal cover a DSMA script or is it more cost effective

to purchase online?

2. Does chelation ever help with viral overload?

3. Is it safe to do other maintenance treatment, like diflucan or valtrex,

during chelation?

4. What are some good supportive supplements.

5. What did you do with your child to prep him/her for chelation and how did you

know they were ready?

6. What are some of the adverse reactions you have had from chelation, if any?

7. Is it productive to even do a metals test prior to any chelation or wait

until after the first challenge?

8. Can DSMA and ALA be administered parenterally (through g-tube)? She will not

accept any medication orally, even if mixed in foods (she will detect it and go

on a strike of everything).

9. How often are should blood test be done?

I realize the above are all questions I can also ask her DAN! doctor, but she

charges by the fifteen minutes and, well, you know if you can do the work

beforehand it always saves money to pay for the actual treatments!

I'll probably have a million more questions for the group, but I appreciate the

support and guidance in advance. I just want to be armed with knowledge before

getting into chelation.
