side effects...

Fermius, isn't the real question about effectiveness **and safety** especially

for little ones who cannot communicate well about side effects?

I'm just briefly visiting from the Frequent Dose Chelation and Adult Metal

Chelation groups to read Haven's testimony. Thank you, Haven. I'll pass that

on to a coworker who needs some encouragement with her family's situation.

I'm not minimizing the danger of lead. I broke my leg at age 43 playing non

contact sports with my little nieces. It snapped like a piece of chalk! The

bone density test showed osteopaenia. After a long list of tests, the

endocrinologist, a former med school prof, said there was no known reason and

that it is extremely rare for a male.

He never asked about lead which I had been exposed to for decades in my family's

renovation carpentry business. I can remember sanding and applying lead paint

with my dad as a pre teen. Cadmium, which was used to provide color in some

paints, was the highest toxin on my hair test, #354. However Cutler says that

lead is often under-reported when exposure ended long ago because it is stored

in bone.

I did quite a bit of reading before settling on the Cutler Protocol. I wanted

something that is both safe and effective. Also someone I know was in really

bad shape--neurological issues, etc. He got worse on other protocols but Cutler

helped him to greatly improve. I had dinner with him a few months ago and I

could not tell he had been sick. He is very grateful to Andy.

I've been chelating with the Cutler Protcol for 8 months. My foggy " lead head "

and ADD symptoms are gradually declining even though I can only tolerate low

doses--7mg ALA + 14mg DMSA every weekend. I am quite encouraged and look

forward to another bone density test this Spring. When I told my doc I've been

strangely gaining weight but my clothes still fit he wanted me to do the scan

immediately! I'm hoping that some of that weight is due to increased bone

density.

Fermius, I hope you are looking into sources of exposure! Cutler has a good

section on this in his hair test book. I found his book to be very helpful. The

high level seems to suggest a relatively recent exposure. The chelation

protocol is somewhat different for lead. I suspect that would especially be

true for a youngster who is still building bone rather rapidly. I suspect he

will want to chelate occasionally for many years and so will want to avoid

amalgam fillings.

The " silver " amalgam fillings contain nearly 50% mercury. Mercury and lead are

especially nasty when together. It has messed up my life, but it looks like

I'll get a second chance at some things. Having children just won't be one of

them.

I wish you all the best as you care for your little ones.
