OT DMSA/Was natural chelation - cilantro

Apple pectin is used to chelate aluminum, vit.C to support chelation.

I was scared of DMSA, too, until I read more. The old reports of

problems seem to be related to rapid IV detox. My son & I have

handled DMSA just fine, sometimes a little space on day 4 (we do 3

days on, 11 days off). Also, parents need to adjust the schedule to

suit their particular child. Some dose every 12 hours, every 8

hours, or every 4 hours. Some kids initially regress as the mercury

and other metals are chelated from the tissue. Others don't (mine

didn't.)

The majority of DAN doctors and D-I-Y parents follow a " low (dose)

and slow (3 on, 11 off, long term) " approach with few side effects

(usally minor, like day 4 spaciness or sniffles).

IMHO chelation deserves a closer look by all parents of ASD kids.

Some of us are seeing amazing & rapid results. Feel free to email

privately if you have any questions.

BTW, despite 12 months of chelation & great results, we're still

strictly gfcf. Our protocol looks at 18 - 24 mos to clear the body.
