I LOVE chelation!!

Chelation worked very well for my older son. As I have written in earlier pieces, he went from having horrific echolalia and scripting before chelation to non existent echolali after. I knew chelation was his main healer which is why I couldn't wait to try it on my younger son. The first time my younger son went in for his IV chelation he definitely had gains from it. More than I was thinking he would, actually. His language improved some (when you have minimal language "some" improvement is great but you still have a child who can barely speak)and his eye contact and "withitness" improved. I knew that he was a chelation responder after the first round. What I hadn't predicted was how he would react to his second round of chelation. My mother in law had flown in the night before and generally had a good idea about his minimal language capabilities. We drove to Miami (two hours down) and had both boys chelated though IV. We had lunch in the park and then my little one fell asleep in the car for the entire two hour ride back and even slept an additional hour in his bed. When he woke up from his three hour nap, his language was INSANE!! He was speaking in complete sentences and had started to become conversational for the first time, ever!! My mother in law asked me if she was imagining things or if this was chelation at work. I told her, Oh, this is chelation, baby!! My husband, my mother in law, and I were ecstatic! He gained more language in the three hours post chelation than he did his first three years of life. That was November 11th and our next chelation isn't set until Jan. 17th, which is way too long in between. I will be picking up the pace for these chelations, that's for sure. Now that I am working, it is not easy to take off. Now we are chelating two at a time instead of one at a time, which also means $400 per chelation instead of $200. I cannot wait until the next one!!!
