If evidence emerges that supports a causal link between heavy metals and autism, further trials with methods suitable to ensure safety and to demonstrate that chelation removes heavy metals, improves social communication and reduces restricted repetitive behaviours seen in autism will be needed.
30 sie 2018 · Chelation is a treatment used to remove heavy metals, such as lead or mercury, from the body. A drug that "grabs" the metals is administered to the patient, often intravenously.
27 maj 2024 · Chelation usually aims to remove heavy metal toxins like lead or mercury. The chelation process is done under strict medical supervision and can have several steps. One of the key steps is using other chemicals to ‘flush’ toxins from the system.
1 sty 2022 · It has been suggested that heavy metals accumulate in the central nervous system of children with ASD as a result of reduced excretory capacity resulting in neurotoxic effects (Cekici and Sanlier, 2019).
11 lis 2024 · Chelation therapy for autism is an alternative therapy said to treat autism by removing heavy metals, like mercury, from the body with drugs. There is no evidence that it works. Possible risks include irregular heartbeats, seizures, kidney failure, and death.
It has been suggested that the severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms is positively correlated with the level of circulating or stored toxic metals, and that excretion of these heavy metals, brought about by the use of pharmaceutical chelating agents, results in improved symptoms.
1 sty 2013 · Chelation treatment is used to eliminate specific metals from the body, such as mercury. It has been hypothesized that mercury poisoning may be a factor in autism and data suggest that perhaps 7% of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have received chelation treatment.
