Experience: Many of us are not trained in chelation. Chelation can also have significant side effects. I recommend talking to a physician who is experienced in the field.

Re: Chelation: 1) not many physicians specialize in environmental toxicology, so you should not expect much talk about the subject. 2) Chemet {succimer} is an oral chelating agent used for lead toxicity. 3) here is a link to a society that talks alot about chelation: www.Acamnet.Com.
