Hello everyone,
The other day I was surfing around and found an interesting article that I think parents of autistic children might find very helpful since parents are using chelation as a treatment. It's better to be safe than sorry. I hope you enjoy it.
Remember: Knowledge is Power.
Are You Using Dangerous Chelators to Remove Mercury from Your Autistic Child's Body?
It has already been fully validated through urine testing that autism is actually(caused by) mercury poisoning. 71 children diagnosed with ASDs, were examined in this study.1
Unfortunately, today many well-meaning parents are often using the wrong, and sometimes very dangerous chelators in order to remove highly toxic mercury from their autistic child's fragile little body. All parents of autistic children ought to know already that the proper and safe removal of mercury is a painfully slow process.
I have written summaries of some of the most popular and less known chelators of mercury. Some of these are dangerous and others are very effective. I strongly recommend you to read each summary carefully so you can know the potential dangers of each chelator.
The Bad Chelators
IV Push EDTA
IV Push EDTA can actually make matters worse for the patient by increasing the mercury toxic in the brain. Keep in mind that calcium EDTA is twice as concentrated as sodium EDTA.2 If you are hungry for real life proof of the potential danger of IV Push EDTA, here are a few:
In 2003, a 53-year old woman in Oregon, died of cardiac arrest due to hypocalcemia(after receiving an EDTA compound, 1500mg, by IV Push).
A 5-year old autistic British boy died after undergoing chelation therapy with EDTA. Both deaths were reported at the Cdc.gov website.3
DMSA
DMSA stands for Dimercaptosuccinic Acid. This is a man-made substance which is not known to cross the blood brain barrier. A study conducted by Cornell University did an animal study using DMSA. Based on the results of this study, they concluded that DMSA in fact alters the immune system.4
Dr. Boyd Haley, chemistry professor, says that DMSA would not work in metal chelation since it's a neurotoxin. Dr. Rashid Buttar says he had stopped using DMSA in his practice because he has not seen clinically positive results. In fact, during his clinical observations, he had observed the signs of neurotoxicity in his autistic patients who were on DMSA. He further goes on to say: "Any discriminating and judicious physician will not use DMSA if treating a child with metal toxicity, especially given the light that a developing brain is far more susceptible than a fully developed one for instance."5
So if you are using DMSA right now on your autistic child, consider stopping this chelation treatment, and adopting a safer chelator that is non toxic.
BAL and D-penicillamine
BAL stands for British Anti-Lewisite. Both BAL and D-penicillamine have been shown in clinical experiences to be less effective for chelating mercury than DMPS. BAL, specifically has a high rate of mercury redistribution which means that it will send mercury back to different organs of your body and cause potential damage. One side effect of D-pencillamine is it can cause auto immunities in long term use by arthritis patients. Both of these chelators are restricted in their use in account of toxic side effects.6
