There's some more discussion of this on healing crow, if you are

interested and in the

archives.

although, I believe, one person who is a member there seems to believe

that chelation does more harm than good.

Thanks so much for the replies! I have the Andy Cutler Hair

Interpretation book, but will buy his Amalgam illness book when I get

the results back. I do hear that people who follow cutler's protocol

do fair better than those who go the IV route usually. It still scares

me a little though. The thought if it taking years.

Fish huh? I wonder about fresh water fish. I'm in Texas, and grew up

eating a lot of catfish and crappie from our local rivers and lakes. I

now eat Salmon, wild caught, about once a week and wonder if that is a

problem too? Not as much as something like swordfish, but may still

add to it. I'm sure fish has contributed to mine, but not as much as

my fillings. My Mom ate soooooooooooooo much canned tuna when she pg

with me, so I'm sure I had a load before I was born. I worry for my

daughter too, since I had all these fillings while pg with her.

there do seem to be a couple of great yahoo support groups for those

chelating and those who are chelating their kiddos.

Thanks again for your input. good luck to all you dealing with this!
