I have been doing chelation iv's for years. As I recall the first two years I was dumping mercury. Then, about a year ago, I started showing high levels of lead (and aluminum) being dumped. I don't do the i.v.'s every week, but every 2 -4 weeks.
My recent urine challenge showed -again- elevated lead being dumped. I asked the Dr. why I'm still dumping so much lead. Her answer surprised me. She confided that she sees a lot patients with tons of lead and it never gets cleared (as you would expect). They keep chelating and dumping lead on and on.
So now I'm wondering, should I keep chelating, even lots of people never clear their lead? I have doubt about the whole process now.
thanks.

Boy, they love that money, don't they!? Personally, I would stop. You've probably done all you can do. You could follow up with oral meds.

My experience with lead is that it has come out at different times. I have not done i.v. chelation, but I can tell when I am detoxing metals.
I add minerals, use nanozeolite, Pekana detox products and binders such as chlorella and apple pectin.

Check out KPU. Most lyme patients have this (and probably don't know it), yet most non Dr. K type docs blow it off. Patients with KPU are seriously lacking in several minerals (lyme uses them first). There's more to it than this, but long story short, your minerals must be balanced in order to remove metals. Otherwise, the metals won't leave the body.

GiGi always said AI is the answer. HPU too, but w/o AI, it's all hopeless.

The metals *are* being dumped, my body is continually dumping elevated amounts of lead and aluminum. Its not an issue of the lead not coming out....its definitely coming out....
I was inquiring more about if I should keep it up wrt the phenomenon of continual dumping bucketloads but never getting to the end.... thanks.

Going after parasites is KEY because they hold heavy metals in their coats. Check out the PARASITE WARRIOR SUPPORT THREAD.

Having done AI, I would be very careful with it. Too much may mess you up. No one is around to post on AI anymore--wonder why?

I'd want to keep going and get it all out. Whether the method you are using is the best, I don't know.
Are you sure it's coming out (perhaps measuring it in urine), as opposed to just being recirculated to a different part of the body?
Have you thought about if you might be reintroducing lead into your body through some means (inhaling too many diesel fumes or lead paint, or eating/drinking something laced with it, ...)?
By the way hiker, I did AI and feel it helped a lot. A few months ago I got the letter from the last round that they saw no more disregulations at that time, so not much going on with it anymore for me.

Just ran across some info saying ginkgo biloba very often has significant lead in it, and thought of you. Was wondering if this might be something you are taking.

I am wondering why your doc does not have you on the oral med d-penicillamine. That is supposedly good for lead.
If you are doing DMPS then that is more targeted for mercury and I am actually surprised that it is pulling out much lead.
Hubby's main issue was mercury and he was done with chelation for that in about 6 months. He did still have slightly elevated aluminum and nickel I think it was, but we stopped chelation when the mercury seemed to be gone. With him the DMPS IV's would stop his dry heaves and Parkinsonian tremors even before the IV was complete.
His doc had him on supplements of chorella, bear garlic and the oral meds DMSA and d-penicillamine in between IV chelation treatments. Actually he did those other things in scheduled format, but I can't remember exact details.
I would want the levels to get closer to normal myself before stopping, but I would want to add other chelators specific to lead to the IV's.
