Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Below is a snippet from the A-M archives, Andy talking about the stall/regression period. This is the natural progression of detox. Initial improvements, stall or worsening, then slow improvement again. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Keep the faith, you'll come out on the other side. in Illinois, chelating adult, chelating 2 NT kids, 57 rounds http://onibasu.com/archives/am/178468.html You need to keep chelating! If you don't chelate enough, they actually get worse for a while. As long as you keep chelating, progress will resume at 9-15 months after you started. Then you chelate chelate chelate chelate until they get all better. If you stop chelating due to the initial stall in progress, they won't get all better. If you chelate and see progress in the first few months you need to stick with it for a couple of years. Don't stop. The progress will come back.

My suggestion -- and maybe you're already doing this -- is to keep plodding through rounds but try monkeying with supps and addressing other possible issues like viral problems. One thing I've found is that the first time you try a supp it may not be tolerated or work at all, but if you try it many rounds later, pathway have been cleared and it may be very very helpful. Inositol was like that for n. What are his main symptoms now? Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have known a few people who didn't understand this and have stopped chelation of their child thinking that it was no longer working, only to have the child return to baseline. And some kids/people can get a little worsening of symptoms during this period of time although it is more likely just to see a stall. Our stall was not quite this long..lasted about 4 months. But if you've been doing the protocol for 5 years you should be well past this. > > Val > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was frightened away from it by stupid docs. I haven't read this page yet, but I wonder why the stall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
