what's the harm in chelation/HBOT

[Guest guest]

Hi all~ I have heard that Dr. goldberg is very against chelation and

HBOT. Any ideas why?

Look Back on the list. Kids Die during treatment!

Chelation can re-free up mercury to increase damage,

poisoning, and it also modulates the immune system

(not necessarily the correct way, appears to actually

damage it in many cases), which may be the real reason

some people see improvement, not because of mercury

removal. It's dangerous, and when chelating, it is

very very common for severe GI infections to occur.

That is definitely not something you want when our

kids already have sometimes serious GI issues, and it

sets off the immune system even worse, when the whole

goal is to cool it off. And when the body becomes

healthier and enzyme pathways that may be shut off due

to illness and fighting illness turn back on, the body

can cleanse itself for more efficiently and safely

than chelating ever could. There's many more

negatives associated, but those are big ones. And

most children Dr G has seen who have been chelated

(not all) take longer to recover.

HBOT ... NeuroSpect findings (that measures blood flow

to the brain) has shown severe " white hot " spots in

the brain after HBOT, and indication of way too much

blood flow and probably damage. He has witnessed some

horrible things w/ that he said, and would never

recommend it for any child. Our kids DO have

hypoperfusion, but many also have hyperperfusion in

other areas of the brain. The brain scans on

'autistic' children are comparable to other disorders

relating to chronic viral infections, and it has been

shown that when the underlying illness is treated, the

blood flow can be restored, although frequently

requiring an SSRI to help with that.

He feels that safety is key, and that these are

dangerous procedures, and proper treatment can help

many children without putting them at risk. He is

very adamant about that. You can also do a search at

the files on groups for previous discussions on

the topic, and see research abstracts posted by

Raptor.

Based on hearing Dr Goldberg speak, he believes chelation can be

harmful, create dangerous side effects, and lose essential minerals.

He also believes there is no evidence that it helps. If you are

interested in reading further, go to Defeat Autism Now and Generation

Rescue's websites and read what they have to say about it. Then you

can decide for yourself what you think. The other poster is correct

that a child died, but the one I read about was from an IV and most

people do not use that form of chelation. There may be others I am

not aware of. As far as HBOT, I think I remember him saying that it

would increase oxygen flow to all areas of the brain, even those that

did not need it. If I have misrepresented what Dr Goldberg believes,

I am sure someone will correct me. This is from my notes from

hearing him speak.
