Leaking Metal

Although the progress on the pool today was exciting, it didn't compare to the news we got about Grant today. Today was our Dr's appt. to review the results from the 1st round of chelation. The results were very, very encouraging.

The original test results back in July reported high, although not extreme, levels of mercury, very high levels of lead, and high levels of tin and aluminum in his body. The results of the first round of chelation showed that these very same elements are now leaving his body! The results exhibit these encouraging signs:

• Grant has had no adverse reactions to the chelation treatment.
• Grant's body is not "blocking" the metals from leaving his body.
• We will not need to try/research further methods of chelation (whew!)
• Any hoped-for results will be seen in the next few months.

The process now continues for the next 3 months with a twice-weekly application of DMSA (cream). Assuming there is no negative reaction, we will run a full battery of tests after the 3 months to see if metals are still leaving in large doses. From there, who knows!?
