You know, I don't know how you would get someone to eat it fresh who doesn't eat solid food yet.
The people to ask about the chelation is the Autism forum, since many austisic children have metal issues. I was told, and I don't know if it is true, that thimerosal has been removed from children's vaccines as of 2001 (here in the US). Supposedly, the military clinics here in the US have not used the vaccines with thimerosal for 5 years. I cannot guarantee the validity of my source. I don't know what they use in the vaccines where you live. We are pretty much forced to keep our children up to date on vaccines because we are moving to Japan in August. I had to get a tetanus vaccine that I was told does contain thimerosal, so I am trying to eat plenty of cilantro myself.
