My husband just started seeing a new Dr. last week. He's a D.O. who practices alternative treatments. He is having my husband undergo chelation.... after reading some of the postings on here I'm becoming very concerned because my husband is 65 and has a lot of Amalgam fillings. Please advise..... are there different types of chelation? I dont dare mention this to my husband because he's been under so much emotional stress lately. Last year he was diagnosed with Prostate cancer ... the year before he tore his achillles, I think you get the picture. Someone please tell me this treatment won't hurt him.
Thanks



******** No chelation treatments should ever be done without safe removal of ALL Amalgam fillings first.

******** The only exception I can think of is if a person was looking at the risk of sudden death from a seriously blocked artery and was considering EDTA chelation treatment. Even then it would be best to remove all Amalgam first, but a person has to weigh all of the various risk factors.

******** There are many different types of chelation protocols - most of the ones that doctors use do more harm than good to a metal toxic person. There are also different reasons why a person would consider chelation. Metal toxicity and blocked arteries are two very different considerations.

******** It would be best if you investigate chelation before allowing your husband to proceed. The decisions you make will make a huge difference to his quality of life. After all, you will most likely be the one attending to his needs.

Hello,
There is a product by DNR (dnrsite.com) that gets heavy metals and chemicals out of your body that you can use while you still have Amalgams in your mouth. You can call them to verify this, if you want to. When you think of it, if a person's organs of elimination(liver, kidneys, skin) are working correctly, they are every hour of every day working to rid the body of heavy metals. If a person with Amalgam fillings has a healthy body, their body is constantly eliminating heavy metals, and that's why their Amalgams aren't causing so many problems as someone whose organs of elimination are either clogged with toxins or just plain old weak. Many people say that you can't chelate with your Amalgams still in your teeth, but that's because they are not familiar with DNR products and how they work. Other methods of chelation (and DNR doesn't actually call their method chelation) may very well cause problems, and as a matter of fact, I know of some methods of chelation that can cause problems even after you get the fillings out. With the DNR products, you add 4-8 ounces of their COF Ex body soak to a tub of warm water and soak in it for 30 minutes 3 nights a week. I have heavy metal symptoms and can tell you that it relieves them very quickly. It helps your body to release the metals and they come out through your skin, and thus don't get stuck in your organs where they can do damage. They also have a body soak for the nervous system, which I believe is what someone with Parkinson's would use after getting the heavy metals out.
I hope this helps in some way, and it's good that you are looking into alternative methods.
