probably half get there and half have parents who don't stick to it. But these
are guesses.

My son started chelating at 7. He had all of his immunizations plus 5 year old
boosters. We have been chelating now for 6 years. The hair test this spring
(200 rounds) was the first that did not show deranged mineral transport. We are
at round 240 now and my son can eat everything on a rotation basis. He swims
competitively, is learning to scuba dive, reads Scripture aloud in front of 250
people during Church services very well, is an all A student at the 8th grade
level,is proficient at playing classical music on the piano after taking lessons
for 2 years. He still has a few traits that are not normal in carrying on
conversation socially. He is showing progress in this area with work. We plan
to chelate for one more year and assess things then--that will be to round 300.
We have been chelating at 1/4 mg. per pound 3 days and 3 nights every 3 hours.
My son could never tolerate any higher dose than that. I am very grateful for
Andy and his work. Our son was labeled by a psychologist at 6 years old as
being 'severely autistic'. Now, he plans to go to college and major in music.
