Re: Chelation was: Teaching KiKI to read or sign?

[Guest guest]

Dear Deana, I have been told by our DAN! that chelation shouldn't

start untill the gut and other organs have completely healed from

the " vicious cycle " His name is Dr. Kucera and he is one of

the top DAN!'s in the country right now. When ready he did say that

it has helped kids get more speech though.

Yet also shared that it can cause the bad gut guys to come back with

a vingeance if the body is not ready for the imbalance that

chelation cuases. He wouldn't do this with KiKI until she is at

least one year out on SCDiet...or showing no more signs of celiac

disease/injured intestines of any kind....and no more signs of yeast

overgrowth.

He said that Chelation alone can cause yeast overgrowth and serious

set backs. With some kids they do not like to give anti-fungals due

to age, size, or medical fragileness, condition of liver and other

organs that have been affected by the vicious cycle going

unchecked. The body can not chelate properly when this

happens...when those dangerous metals start moving around...it can

cause (possibly permanent) ticks and other nasty side affects if the

liver and kideys can not excrete them properly. I do realize that

this is not always the case with everyone here...but we can't chance

it. She is still " fragile " although on the right road with

SCD....other kids here could be in this same predicament and not

know it.

Our DAN! said that KiKi clearly could not tolerate any anti-fungal

treatments right now, chelation..or much of anything (including

certain enzymes), thanks to the condition of her liver, kidneys and

organs. Even food was getting her sick in the beginning. For some

of us we need to know this. It can be dangerous is done to early on

in recovery.

Again, the Dan! is the one who said this to us.......

We are lucky that she is trying to talk. If she doesn't ...we will

teach her facilitated language with the key board...regardles we

will love her. She is obviously very smart in that head of hers.

worked..SCD now 2+ months)
