Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Thanks for taking so much time to respond with such detailed information. It is really appreciated! Is your daughter diagnosed ASD? I noticed that she is quite young. Our son is 14 months, so I was wondering... Also, when did you start chelation with her? Thanks again -- I appreciate so much the info that you sent. > > Hi , > > My daughter (16 mo.) has the most severe case of eczema that I have ever > heard of.
