has anyone heard of them... they are to remove toxic metals from the system...

Are they safe and do they work?

I would be interested in finding out if they are worth the money to try. I personally use 2 Cups of Epsom Salts in the kids bath water and I think that is working just fine.

yes, we are using epsom salt PLUS about 4 or 5 drops of lavendar oil. I know this has nothing to do with heavy metal remover, but it does help with sleep.

2cutekids,

have you had testing to find that your child has metal poisoning? I have read mixed reviews about the treament for it. Like everything else treatment wise that seems to go with autism, most of the medical society thinks it's all hogwash, so I doubt you would get a very good opinion form any other doc than your DAN doc. Is your DAN doc recommending this? Just curious
