I just read a story about a U.K. family that lost their autistic five-year-old son during chelation therapy in a clinic in Pennsylvania.
That is a tragic loss I can’t even imagine…It makes me think of the old Chinese curse, “May you live to bury your children”. But a bit of perspective is needed.
• This is the first chelation-related death in nearly 50 years
• 600 people a year die from using aspirin
• In 2001 the Autism Research Institute reported that in a survey of more than 23,000 parents who resorted to chelation for their autistic children, nearly three out of four said the method helped
• Chelation is an FDA-approved therapy for treating children with lead poisoning
The FDA can’t approve chelation for treating autism…Why?
The U.S. Navy developed chelation in the 1940’s to treat lead poisoning. Besides that, it also helps remove other heavy metals from the body.
Now here's the catch: In spite of the FDA approval to use this therapy on children, the medical mainstream CAN'T recognize the effectiveness of chelation in treating autism because that would amount to an official recognition of one of the suspected causes of autism: mercury toxicity from the vaccine preservative thimerosal.
It’s interesting to note that the rise in autism parallels the rise in the use of thimerosal.
Now think about this…If chelation works for autistic kids, wouldn’t that suggest a connection between heavy metals and autism? And you can’t dismiss the results by pulling out the placebo effect. Autistic kids don't snap out of autism just because they're aware they're being treated.
I’m wondering if chorella might not be an alternative…
Since chorella also helps cleanse the body of heavy metals, maybe it could be another option…As far as I know the only side effect is it makes your feces green.
Anyone heard of chlorella being used as a treatment in autism?
