Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of epsom salt baths as being a chelator? Since it contains sulfur, and kids with heavy metals poisoning tend to be lacking in sulfur, do the baths somehow pull the metals out of them? My son has been GFCF for one year, since he was 9 months old. We have recently started giving him Creon at meals and he is now eating normal foods without any problems. I didn't give him Creon at all yesterday, and he had a cheeseburger, cheetos, and a twinkie (I know, junk food, but I'm letting him live a little right now, these are things that he's never had). I gave him an epsom salts bath, and no night waking with a bellyache, and so far, no screaming and hyperactivity. This is a child who had severe reactions to even one pretzel a few months ago. I am supposed to be chelating him with DMSA right now for heavy antimony and arsenic poisoning, as well as a small amount of lead and mercury poisoning. I removed the sources of antimony and arsenic poisoning early in the summer (pajamas, bedding) and things have greatly improved since then. I really would rather not do the DMSA, he's so small, so if anyone can tell me about any information about epsom salt baths doing any chelation activity, please let me know. We had been told by Dr. Bill Sardi, a medical journalist on the West Coast, that eating sulfur rich foods is a natural chelator, so that's what made me wonder about the baths. ===== __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
