Here are a few pictures of my son getting his

2nd IV Chelation Treatment- August 11, 2006

 

He's sitting in a Lazy-boy chair, reading a Dora Book, legs crossed and watching Monsters Inc on the laptop infront of him.

 

Both times he sat nicely with no issues. I was always afraid that he would try to pull the IV out- he was fine.

 

Here the PA is changing the bag and my son took it upon himself to help him out and hold the tubbing.

 

Notice my son looks pretty calm and accepting of the whole process- he didn't cry once.

 

The hardest part is when we're done and take the tape off his hand. But the PA is very gentle and my son is fine.

 

We get home and my son makes a silly face. We haven't seen any bad side effects from the therapy. Business as usual.

 

We tested my son's urine after last week's challenge (larger dose) and he had elevated levels of Aluminum and Lead-

which is good, because that means the chelation is working.

 

Thanks for sharing this experience. I'll update the page whenever possible. You can read more about our
