Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi, we just started chelation. So I don't have a whole lot to say yet, but we do it for three days on, 11 days off, 3 days on, 11 off, and so on. After the first two rounds (I'm about to start the second 3-day dose Friday) we have some tests of his kidney/liver functioning (blood test) to make sure everything is processing through correctly, and that there's do damage ocurring. then we go like this for about three-6 months, possibly for 9 months in all. At 3 months they want me to do a second DMSA challenge test to see how it is different from the original one he did before we started all this. BTW, we are gfcf, and other allergies, too, plus giving supplements. was also treated for parasites, bacteria, and yeast. So we're clearing a lot of stuff up, which began about 8 weeks ago. Are you going to do the same type of chelation schedule? My doc was at the last DAN conference in Atlanta (I live outside of Atlanta but couldn't go myself) and I believe must be following the same protocol. So far, nothing negative, only positive (well except for some of his irritating behaviors, which are (temporarily) worse. There's more speech, and a general sense of his being calmer, more focused, and happier. He was totally nonverbal 8 weeks ago, and has a handful of words now.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hi , I was just at the Autism Convention in San Diego where D Holmes was part of a panel that discussed the chelation protocol and the terriffic results she saw on her son.It was very exciting (I wish I could go to the Dan Convention in San Diego in October but its just not in the budget, however I just sent all the info to my very open minded pediatrician and suggested he might go . I'll keep my fingers crossed) Dr Holmes did kind of address the DrAmys kids site and it had something to do with licensing issues and not being able to practice medicine across state lines I think. (but she is happy to do a 3 way phone consult with your pediatrcian and you) If you go to the Autism Reasearch Institues web site you can down load their Chelation protocol, which I believe is what Dr Holmes uses as she is one of the authors. Hope this helps its something I'm very excited about trying for my daughter also. Valarie in Ca mom to Maranda (6yr asd ) and Nickolas (8yr hold nt?)

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Our two sons have been chelating for 1 year now. Big improvements for both of them, most noticeable in the Autistic one. I expect that we will continue for another year, which is what the physician had predicted. I hope that you will find it helpful for your family. It's amazing that anyone grows up normal with all the ridiculous insults from vaccinations, food additives and the environment that are imposed upon us all...
