Child PDD Issues Need to be Identified as Soon as Possible for Quick Diagnosis and Treatment
July 2, 2009
Chelation therapy is the use of an amino acid, often EDTA (ethylene diamine tetra acetic), which can attach itself to the toxic metal in the child’s system. It is put into the body through intravenous means and then flushed out through urine taking the toxins with it. Other similar treatments are given by using nasal sprays or creams that are absorbed into the skin.
This chelation treatment has been recognized as being useful for a variety of conditions including Parkinson’s, Schizophrenia, Cancer and Alzheimer’s. But, the FDA, Food and Drug Administration, does not recognize it as a treatment for autism. Chelation treatment is only when tests prove that there has been contamination of the patient by toxic metals. It especially is not recognized as a treatment for children with autism.
Despite researchers coming out against this therapy desperate parents are willing to try anything to cure their children of the incurable disorder of autism. One such attempt met with disastrous results last year. Recently an autistic child, who was only five years old, was undergoing repeated chelation therapy and on the third treatment session, in his doctor’s office, he died.
This news was received with great sadness by the community, but was used as a caution to other parents anxious to try anything possible to help their children. Those in the know in the autism community, professionals who follow these experimental treatments, had sadly expected an outcome like this to occur. It is being used as a warning to parents. While it’s understood that they want to try everything they can to help their children caution must be taken, not all treatments available are actually safe to use on children. Parents must allow researchers the opportunities to fully investigate alternatives before rushing in desperation to attempt unproven treatments.
