There are a great number of chelating agents available ( DMSA, EDTA, DMPS ), and each has claims to be the 'best' available. Some of these claims are backed up by scientific data, and some are not. Some of these agents have been studied for safety and efficacy, and some have not.
Some chelating agents are themselves potentially toxic, and many require a rigorous programme of assessment - blood and urine tests before commencing treatment and repeated at intervals during a course of treatment.
Some chelating agents are prohibitively expensive, and although we agree that for our children 'money is no object', it is still common sense to look for those agents which give good value (in terms of effectiveness) for money.
In addition we at Secrenase are committed to treating all children with ASD in a safe, gentle yet effective manner; for this reason we have selected an entirely Naturopathic regime of chelation as our preferred method.
One other consideration to bear in mind is that for the majority of children, the reason they have developed ASD is an unfortunate combination of genetic susceptibility to the effect of toxic metal exposure and the exposure to these metals. This is no longer speculation, it is fact.
It makes sense therefore to make the removal of these metals an absolute priority. Any other therapeutic intervention, while important, cannot be fully successful until the toxic metal burden is removed.
Our selected chelation method has a perfect safety record, and studies indicate that it is equally as effective as some chemical chelating agents. There is another very important clinical consideration and that is that other chelating agents do not cross the blood-brain barrier; yet it is the metals in the brain that we are trying to remove. This major difference promises to give our natural method an 'edge' over some other, potentially toxic agents.
Remember that with Naturopathic therapy there is no possibility of serious side-effects; and our experience and the results obtained confirm that this therapy is superior to most other forms of chelation.
We have selected as our preferred method of chelation a combination of
Colloid mineral complex ( a clathrating agent)
Glutathione ( the body's natural waste-disposal system)
- together with Vitamin C and E.
Glutathione, Vitamin C and Vitamin E is the antioxidant system inside every cell in our body.
Each of the above is a chelating agent in their own right; together they make a powerful force in chelation and not only does it cross the blood-brain barrier
( which other chelating agents do not do ) but it does not deposit metals anywhere on their way out of the body. Chelated metals are removed from the body through the bowel, safely and effectively.
We would strongly recommend that all parents consider early intervention with chelation. The sooner the metals are gone, the sooner our children can get better.
