[QUOTE=", post: 2932"] Chinakate, my son also has lead & other heavy metals & we are trying to chelate with vitamins. We've been trying for over 2 years. It isn't easy. This is my understanding (we can't figure out where he gets lead from, either). We are all exposed to heavy metals & lead, etc. Some children's bodies just "hang onto" the metals, where the rest of ous exrete them (our bodies are supposed to exrete them). So change to distilled water & try to eliminate all lead sources (food from cans with lead soldier) & anything else you can think of. Lead doesn't show up in the blood, autumn mom. It is only in the blood with recent exposure, or under stress. Lead is stored in the tissues (hair, bone, nails, other tissue) & only goes back into the blood under stress (rage, new environment, mom saying "no", etc.). Traditional doctors check a blood level & say, "nope, no lead". You can only get a reliable result on a hair or nail sample. If your doctor checks the blood, they are not up on the latest (or correct) way to detect it. Even now, though, medical scientists are admitting that the previous 'safe' levels traditional medicine believed was safe is still way too high. Chinakate, you still (& me, too) have to balance & correct the body to get it to excrete the heavy metals on its own. I haven't been able to do that yet with difficult child. I know you need lots of calcium/magnesium, because the body sometimes confuses lead with calcium & hangs on to the lead, thinking it is calcium, if you don't have enough calcium. That is why you must supplement with calcium & magnesium. It is never easy, is it. Please post whatever your naturopath says to do to try to get these metals out. Like I said, we haven't been successful after two years of vitamin chelation. I hope we don't have to do the IV chelation, but we may have to & I don't know anyone who does it.
