Andy, what's your opinion on chelating while exposure is still there?

[Guest guest]

Hi, thanks for sharing all your info!

I was surprised to read that intake of currently-exposed metals would

be 1000x greater while chelating.

Andy, I'd like to know your opinion on this if you read this. And can

anyone comment as to why this would be the case?

I just think it would be virtually impossible to completely eliminate

mercury, lead, or arsenic exposure in our kids. Between schools,

other outings, and what they breathe/eat, I just don't see how it

could be done.

Would appreciate any comments.

Thanks,

Kellie

test our house for possible exposures to lead. He has a double major

in chemistry and microbiology and has been working with lead poisoning

for many years.

to understand or believe ANYTHING I'm saying. I thought... well I got

this Doctors Data test to prove to this guy I know my son is heavy

metal poisoned.

> He saw it and was aware that the reference range was <5 for lead and

mercury, and that Ethan was a 68 (in lead). I'm thinking well now this

guy is going to really see how toxic Ethan is.

> He brought to my attention that the reference range for unprovoked

urine is the same reference range for provoked urine. He showed me how

misleading  this was and that he found it completely reckless of this

company to not provide a provoked urine reference range.  By not

providing a provoked urine reference range they are making people

believe that their children are metal " toxic " when in fact they don't

know what level actually constitutes metal toxicity. I looked it up

online and N O B O D Y has a provoked urine reference range on

mercury. Why? because the data has never been collected. The

toxicologist did say that a reference range of  over 150 in lead is

considered lead toxic.

> He also brought to my attention that you should never chelate, while

still being exposed to the metal. My DAN doc never told me after he

saw Ethan's lead level that we should stop chelating until we stop the

exposure. AND I WAS DOING IV-DMPS!   I'm really starting to think that

some of this dan! crap is a bit too reckless!!

> I decided that since I know for a fact that his shots contained

thimerosol, we will chelate only using dmsa since it's much less toxic

to the body. oh yeah......AND AFTER WE STOP HIS EXPOSURE TO LEAD!!!

> (we are putting filters on the water sources and throwing out all

toys that tested positive for lead)

> I'm so ticked that they never told me about the exposure to lead

while chelating makes you more toxic.
