Mainstream Science vs. Anecdotal Evidence

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I had sent a post a couple weeks ago about a cement plant in my community that

is the largest mercury polluter in New York State. I've started reaching out to

some experts on environmental health, toxicology, etc. and I'm very discouraged

by what I'm hearing. As soon as I mention I did a provoked urine challenge test

to determine my son's heavy metal levels and that we're starting chelation next

month, this is usually proceeded by " Oh my God! Chelation?! Please don't do

chelation on your child. All the science points to this being more harmful than

good. "

I don't understand why these experts who know the science make these claims.

And then there's so many parents who also claim chelation has done wonders for

their child. So now, beside the fact that this makes my research difficult

because everyone I talk to cannot seem to get over this fact, but I'm also

starting to second guess myself that maybe this isn't the best approach.

Getting the metals out makes so much sense to me.

Does anyone know why so many professionals are against chelation?

Thanks,

Elyse
