Guest guest Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 HI Joanne, Thank you for sharing with me about your experience. I am so appreciative of anyones input. This chelating thing does scare me. I am so hoping that getting rid of the mercury will help her open up her life to others. She is a most delightful young lady! People think she's fun and great to be around.. She just needs to believe it. I know she is so hoping the chelating helps her to feel " normal " Thanks again, Carol W. --- Joanne wannabe3999@...> wrote: > Carol, your comments about your daughter meeting > people and then > avoiding long-term relationships is interesting.
