DMSA/Lead chelation with lead IN body

[Guest guest]

So would the same wisdom as " don't chelate mercury with fillings in "

also apply to " don't chelate lead with bullets in your body " ?

A good friend of mine was mugged and shot while jogging about 5 years

ago. He has two bullets left in his back, too close to the spine for

an attempt to remove them. One shattered into many pieces. After many

other extreme health problems, he is now turning his attention to the

lead poisoning.

Some damage has already been done, I am sure, by an ignorant doctor

who did not one but two IV-EDTA challenge tests. Predictably, his

symptoms worsened. (Geez, if you can't figure out without a test that

there will be a high lead level when a patient states there is lead

in his body, should you really be practicing medecine?)

The question is, will he ever be able to chelate, sanely, with

low-dose DMSA? He also has mercury fillings, some of which were

recently ground out by a pseudo-dentist in the process of root canal

" therapy " .

What will he be able to do to reduce his metallic burden? I am pretty

sure that there is enough lead in him to kill him eventually. He

would like to be functional (terrible mental fog, low energy, very

little immune function/constant infections, depression). I am trying

to get him to see , who Andy recommends so highly...

Other than heavy remedial supplementation, does anyone have any

suggestions?

Thanks,
