kallik Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Could someone tell me what type of doctor would be willing to do the tests I would like to get done on my son for his tics and ADHD. I've heard enviromental doctors mentioned, and alternative doctors mentioned, but I guess I'm clueless how to get started. Basically I want to test him for everything, heavy metals, yeast, (I believe my allergy doctor will do this), Pyroluria, amino acid/vitamin deficiencies. My doctor in Houston is chelating him for mercury and iron with Chlorella, which has amino acids in it, but I'm not totally sure my child needs to be chelated. Supposedly the doctor came to this conclusion by having my son hold these metals in his hand, and my son showed a "weakness", to them. I don't mind chelation, but we didn't get a hair analysis done to see if he needed it or not. Anyway, I'd love to know who to go to, and how to actually get started on all this stuff. Thanks.

itsme Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hi Kallik, we use an environmental dr. and are very happy with him. He guided us on all the different tests to do for our sons. They proved to be very beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemar Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 kallik have you looked at the sticky above for "Finding Medical Help" we used an Integrative doctor. Many have also had success with DAN doctors, environmental docs and DOs as well as naturopaths I feel most important is before you even book and appointment, ask if the dic is experienced in treating the issues most important to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
