Guest guest Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I agree, challenge tests are unnecessary. In fact, they are actually quite misleading. The reference values, or norms to which they are comparing the patient's urine are for healthy populations who have not been given a metal chelator.

I don't personally like them and I wouldn't personally do one on my son. But that's just me. I prefer AC chelation. No challenge test needed or required. > > I know there are many kids that have done well with IV and high dose oral chelation. I can't really comment on that much because I've never done it. I did do DAN oral chelation with DMSA at a high dose for a very brief period of time and my son did not react well to it. I didn't stay on it long enough to see if it would even out, I thought it was more of a risk than I was willing to take. Once we started AC chelation, amazing things happened and we test his mineral levels regularly. Never had anything bad come out of it for us. > > I do know that even AC chelation has been intolerable to some kids but I don't think the reaction is anywhere near as severe for most of them. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
