Wendy Tebay,I had similar thoughts about chelation and after reading several books about it(have a list if anyone wants it)went as far as having ten treatments. I felt realy good at the time and was able to increase my exercises as well. Unfortunately there are no tests available in NZ that are accurate enough to tell what is being eliminated except lead and mercury and they are very expensive as is the other altennative of sending it to America. Cost per session $90NZ. I did not feel justified in continuing as there seemed no change in PD symptoms or rate of progress. I also read about the danger of mercury poisoning from the slow release of mercury vapour from disintegrating fillings so I decided to have my double teeth out -had more fillings than tooth and some root fillings due. It was a relief to have them out but still no change in PD. Let me encourage you(and myself) in fasting Wendy, like exercise it will produce benefets to health Im sure. Expert advice from a naturopath, Dr etc. is probably the best way to go. For me,PD is progressing far too rapidly for my liking. Like you I dont feel like taking it lying down, there is too much to live for and so many possibilities just around the corner. I really enjoy your letters Wendy. All the best. Pam Barnett.
