Chelation Summary

Chelation is highly controversial. I didn't like the idea. My sister (critical care nurse) and brother (chemist) warned me not to do it. The research I did several years ago highlighted kidney and liver damage, even death. The cost was prohibitive.

We tried other methods to help the boys' health, but nothing was removing the metals in which they constantly tested high: aluminum, mercury, lead, arsenic, uranium, are but a few.

In July my husband and I decided we would try it with a very careful eye on the boys. Nothing outrageous happened. We were encouraged. Within a few weeks, Ryan and Nick were talking more. Within the next few months both were much more active in school. Class presentations, dances, even dating!

Would I recommend chelation? Yes, but with absolute caution and after all other methods were exhausted. It is very expensive, and I can't deny that I'm putting meds in my kids. Consequently, we are not continuing chelation at this point. We are happy with the results thus far.
