Hi Folks, I was doing some snooping around and came across this article on Timothy Ray's website. Ray is the inventor of the chelator NDF. Some of the articles on his website are really interesting, I think. I'm not chelating yet because I have too many other health issues to get sorted out. Nevertheless, I found this chart very helpful, regardless of whether you use NDF or another type of chelator. It discusses the need for properly preparing a patient to withstand the rigors of any detox and how to avoid unnecessary pitfalls by being on the "lookout for and addressing 'sneaky' acute obstacles and focal isuses before, and that may suddenly appear during heavy metal chemical detoxification, which will make the patient miserable." Some of the issues on the chart that can interfere with detox are conditions like Asymptomatic acute or undiagnosed chronic protozoan infection; pinworms; candida; history of closed brain trauma; exposure to chlorine; antibiotic therapy; dehydration; unidentified food allergies, and more. The chart also explains how these conditions will interefer with detox and suggests possible remedies. http://www.healthydetox.org/articles/published_articles/happy_patient.htmlIt seems that it really might be helpful to find a holistic practitioner or any type of practitioner who'd be willing to work with you and at least order some functional tests before beginning detox. And also to have someone on hand to order further tests if a pitfall should occur during detox. A few of the U.S. labs that I know of that do functional testing are Diagnos-Techs, Inc., Metamatrix Clinical Lab, and Genova Diagnostics (formerly Great Smokies Lab). Their websites have detailed information on the types of functional tests they offer and how they can be of help. Hope this helps! SomedaySoon (Sharon)
