Chelation... the beginning

So, after 4+ years since Grant's diagnosis, we have decided to try chelation. We had tried the gluten/casein free diet (gfcf) a few years ago w/ little success, but we had also done it blindly; we did not have any tests done before or after.

Now, we've gone through a full battery of tests - hair, blood, etc. The tests report that his mercury content is low, although lead is relatively high. He is just now beginning the supplements needed to carry him through the process. In addition, we need to begin a new diet based on the food allergy tests. FORTUNATELY, the tests show no reaction to gluten (wheat)!

So, I will try to document the entire process, along with our successes and failures.
