Is Chelation Working?

We started chelation on June 28, 2011. There are different methods to chelate: sprays, pills,and IVs. The IVS are the most expensive, but they are also most efficient, getting into the deeper tissue quicker. We chose this method because we wanted to get as much of the toxins out as we could during summer. Also, if there were any side effects, we’d be able to monitor the kids 24/7. The office staff assured us that there was nothing to worry about. I smiled, but I screamed in my head, “THESE ARE MY KIDS. There’s plenty to worry about, like their well-being!!!”

This was to be the first of four IVs given. We spend two weeks building the boys’ systems with probiotics and vitamins as well as getting rid of the yeast in their digestive tract.

Here is a brief description as to their behaviors after the initial IVS:

June 28, 2011
Overall, I’m encouraged. The boys are acting normally. No aches, pains, behavioral issues, etc. Initially, their arms hurt. They all consumed a ton of water yesterday and today. They feel fine. I am relieved. The nurse said that if there were any negative reaction, it’d be fairly immediate. All is well. Cameron has swelling at the injection site, but ice will take care of it.

July 3, 2011As far as Ryan and N goick, they had headaches for a few hours the day after. Cam and Stuart had no headache. It’s been 5 days, and I’d never guess that they underwent a procedure. So far so good, ie no behavior issues or serious physical ailments.

July 8, 2011 Today I told the boys we were going to visit a family. The boys protested as they don’t like to socialize much. I told them that we’d stay for 30 minutes. We ended up staying 2 hours plus. After the initial ten minutes of discomfort, things started clicking. Ryan talked with a girl. Nick and Cam had fun with the rest of the gang in the pool. When visiting people that the boys don’t know, they are usually isolated. Nick is quiet, and Ryan is stoic. Today they were having fun WITH peers. I didn’t know my own kids. They are talking!!!

It’s just mind boggling. I’m not sure what to expect with each day/visit, but I am encouraged so far!

I am: a) happily married for over 27 years; b) mom to five boys, three diagnosed with autism; c) a home schooling mom; and d) self-employed as a piano teacher. There is no trace of autism on my side or my husband's side of the family tree. Until nine years ago, my youngest four all had disabilities, the youngest three with autism. Five years ago my youngest did not "qualify" for the autism label, rendering him "recovered". My second oldest also "tested" out of his speech delay. My husband and I attribute these successes to the care of many family members and therapists, change in diets, not following mainstream medicine yet listening to medical advice, doing our own research, and most importantly, lots of prayer.
