/was: Re:Chelation - suppositories

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have read 's post before this so will say that I agree with

her summation. There are clear cultural differences.

My experience is that my son needed rectal suppositories, glycerine,

to help him evacuate his bowels and we used them for years, often

every day, some days more than once per day. He would have a problem

evacuating and he would ask for 'suppository' because it alleviated

his awful discomfort/pain from not being able to evacuate his bowels.

Age? Well from at least 6 yrs to probably 12 yrs. He will still

occasionally ask for one, at 14, although rare now.

I recognise that the mainstream approach/view objects to this

intervention, and for good reason in terms of care practices, however

when he was away at school and they did not administer them when he

needed them he got terribly impacted and in pain. I view that as

their problem, an intransigent view on it in the face of practical

neccessity - truly letting him down and leaving him to suffer, and it

made me very very angry.

He has never had any problems about his sexual identity. So I can't

help but wonder if there are other factors at play in that, rather

than the suppositories?

As regards my views on suppositories as mode of chelation, well I

have already put my views on that - and they are very negative. But

that is not because I have any intrinsic objection to suppositories.

the " regular " giving of suppositories would occur between the ages of

2 and 8 years, because that is the most critical time of psychosexual

development.

2-8 years.

difference between the occasional adminstration of pain killers given

as a suppository while a child is clearly ill with a fever and the

regular administration of a chelator that may have to be given every

3-4 hours every week or every other week for 2-3 years.

us rather have, oral or suppository? And it's just that, there is no

advantage to the suppositories, still creates yeast and no

appreciable difference in the ability of oral or suppositories in the

method of recovery.

> I can be wrong. Despite my 3 degrees in human development and 18

years of practice as a clinical psychologist, I still learn things

everyday. But I feel so strongly about this one that the only way I

would use suppositories on our little one would be if she had no

mouth for the oral, no arms or legs for the transdermal.
