A Possable Breakthrough Therapy....

Nope. I'll look into further in a moment, I hope it's as much of a breakthrough as it claims and not just a false hope sort of thing. I really hate when it's written, pushed and everyone believes it and then it doesn't do anything. Sounds nice though. ~Joey

It sounds like a good idea and unless the child is taking medication, it would work. It also sounds that in order to prevent or less Autism, the child should follow a natural diet and the mother should when she knows that she is pregnant. I always thought that the preservatives in the processed food was not that good. Anyway this chelation therapy would work for children in which autism just developed and might also work for those in which the autismn is inherited. Would your doctor be okay for you trying out this therapy?

I would contact a DAN DOCTOR because chelation can be serious and if I was to do it, I would only want a DAN DOCTOR doing it. So if you are not sure, contact one or read up on DAN DOCTORS... DAN stands for "Defeat Autism Now".....

Hi heavenschild, This is all very interesting. I've just visited the website mentioned above, and have read the article about this. Of course, they have a disclaimer there, as they want to make sure they're protected against any possible repercussions, as a result of this. They also want to sell their products, which as you know I'm sure, are the 'clay baths, and the medication.' They do mention that these 'treatments' are sometimes used by Dan doctors. Is there anyway you can get one of these doctors for your son? This could be a start. Consulting his pediatrician before trying anything like this, is also good advice. I 'know' your son has come such a long way, and fully understand your desire to see him reach his fullest potential, in life. From everything 'I know,' you're doing an amazing job at seeing that his needs are met, and that he gets all of the help he so richly deserves, and needs. I wish you all of the best for this New Year, as you continue to press on, and be an advocate for your son. God Bless.

Sweety you know I haven't had that experience but I just wanted to chime in and say it looks like a great idea and I hope if you go for it you get the results you are after, good luck xxxx

Don't do it. Chelation is a treatment for heavy metal poisoning. Autism has NOTHING to do with heavy metal poisoning despite the squawking of certain groups about mercury thimerosal in vaccines. Chelation can also be lethal if not done correctly, and has killed at least one autistic child, see http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/fastsearch?order=date&IncludeBlogs=17&search=tariq for the history of the case. The blog I listed has a lot of information about the hazards of chelation and the problems of reporting on autism. Another resource that you might find useful is http://neurodiversity.com/. Also check out Quackwatch about chelation.
