Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 My DAN Doctor is recommending chelating with DMPS IV's. I have no experience with chelation before especially with IV's. Can someone please help me by answering these questions, and if you have additional information please included it. 1. What is your opinion regarding chelating with IV's? Does it really help and go faster than other types of chelation. 2. For how long does a session of IV last? In other words can someone please describe the process and procedure for the chelation with IV's? Do they usually sedate the children first? 3. Has anyone try chelating with Zeolites?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Why is the doc recommending IV instead of oral? What metals are you dealing with? Please read DMPS backfire about all the problems with it. Please read the FAQs of this list and educate yourself before going along with anything this doc recommends.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ask some of the adults on frequent dose chelation. I have talked with many people other sites who used this and got sicker. It is basically regarded as a no no with chelation. I made more comments below: > > My DAN Doctor is recommending chelating with DMPS IV's.

Tell him you are not cofortable with IV's on a child. And prefer Oral chelation...or find another DAN! > > > 1. What is your opinion regarding chelating with IV's?

I have talked to too many people who asked why they were getting sicker, only to find out that they were using this method of chelation. Check www.dmpsbackfire.com > > 2. For how long does a session of IV last? In other words can someone > please describe the process and procedure for the chelation with IV's? As I have heard it, an IV will be placed and you have to wait for a drip bag to empty. So probably takes a little while. > Do they usually sedate the children first? I sure hope so but don't count on it. And why put them through that when you can give them a pill to take in the comfort of their home. > > 3. Has anyone try chelating with Zeolites? Some here have and it is not a chelator according to Andy. Some see results but whether or not it chelates metals is a matter of opinion. Some swear it does, but chemists don't beleive so. It is volcanic ash. > Personally I would not do this on my children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Chelation therapy is a therapy of medication and supplements used to remove heavy toxic metals from the body. This also applies to mineral toxicity. Some doctors do this same thing but to remove excessive cholesterol. Three methods of administering it are oral medications, IV's, and transdermal creams. There are four chelators available for this purpose. DMSA, DMPS, EDTA, and Alpha Lipoic Acid. EDTA is an older chelator and should not be used for mercury. Oral or IV DMSA is good for all metals especially lead. Oral, or Transdermal DMPS is good for most metals, not very effective for lead. Oral, Transdermal, or IV ALA is good for mercury. Oral, or transdermal. DMSA and ALA you can get without a prescription. The others you need a doctor. Any Transdermal or IV requires a prescription and must be made by a compounding pharmacy. It is pretty much consensus on this board that IV is not a good idea. Please see www.dmpsbackfire.com as to why. Cleansing supplements are iffy and not tested by anyone as to the efficiency of metal removal, purity of product etc. Some people use them. Not sure if I would do this for a child. There are many methods of chelation developed by many people. Choosing one is tricky. I did a lot of research on the methods out there and have found Andy Cutlers to make the most sense. It is based on basic science and chemistry. Every chelator has a half life in the body and his dosing is based upon how long a particular chelator will last. The idea is to keep a steady level for a three days. Followed by four days or more of resting the body. During this the body is supported nutritionally with vitamin and mineral supplements etc. I have been using this method to chelate by mercury toxic daughter, multiple metal toxic son, and my mercury toxic self. It is working, and without the side effects or regressions I hear from others using different protocol. So they are not all equal. Some can make you very sick indeed. Many adults I have talked with who were chelated with IV dmps got very sick afterwards and are still trying to repair their health. We do have many people end up on our board who were following different protocols and are seeking help because their child is getting worse. Once they begin to follow this low frequent dosing protocol they begin to see results. DMPS last 8 hours in the body and should be dosed as such. DMSA is 4 hours and should be doses as such. ALA is 3 hours... And as I said earlier..no one here uses EDTA that I am aware of. Some doctors will also try to do what is called a challenge test. This is not safe because it involves a high dose of a chelator. Followed by no more chelation. So it frees up a large amount of metal with no where for it to go but back into body stores and brain. Please read our files section for complete information on chelation with the protocol used here. Choosing a chelator will depend on what metals you need to remove. Usually a hair elements test from Doctors Data Inc is recommended to see what metals are a problem. > > Hi, What exactly is chelation therapy?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 > Also while I definitely see cognitive improvement, willingness to try new foods and much improved receptive language, I was hoping a year into chelation would yield more progress. For my son, chelation was only one step in the recovery process. He needed anti-virals, B12, certain amino acids, etc, before he made the most gains.
