Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Andy does not recommend using TD chelators except for cases where it is totally impossible to get the child to take anything by mouth. The disadvantages of TD chelators are: no one knows how much is absorbed (for oral chelators the amount absorbed is known from studies), there is a high incidence of skin reactions, often additives that are contraindicated, such as glutathione, are added to the TD preparation, usually a TD preparation would be much more costly (which is a big reason why they are promoted by people who have money making as their objective). It is up to you whether you want to try the TD DMPS or try to convince this or another doctor to prescribe oral DMPS. J > > I weigh approx 80 kilos, average height (5 ft, 2 in).

Actually the reason she wants me to use the cream is to bypass the digestive system which in my case is sensitive due to 12 years of Crohns. often additives > that are contraindicated, such as glutathione, are added to the TD > preparation, usually a TD preparation would be much more costly (which > is a big reason why they are promoted by people who have money making > as their objective). The doc has asked for the TD to be made w/out glutathione and w/out amino acids. > > It is up to you whether you want to try the TD DMPS or try to convince > this or another doctor to prescribe oral DMPS. > > J > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
