Guest guest Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 From Dr G or Mrs G back in 2006 --- Re: what's the harm in chelation/HBOT 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.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Thank you for posting this! It was very helpful. I had no idea that chelation had some immune-modulating properties which would explain why chelation has helped some children (according to parental report) I was wondering if anyone knew of any hard research that debunks or shows the dangers of the treatments because I feel unarmed when talking to adamant DAN moms! Does anyone know any information about where I can find out how the body gets rid of metals on its own? - > > From Dr G or Mrs G back in 2006 > > --- Re: what's the harm in chelation/HBOT > > 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.
