my 3 year old daughter was diagnosed with pdd-nos when she was 2. until now she's not talking but she babbles. i came across " the even better now" website and they are selling this kids chelate which can be used without a prescription and the testimonials are just so uplifting... a lot of kids in the spectrum, able to talk, able to interact and actually recover from the situation.as a parent, i want to try anything just to help my daughter. and honestly this thing gave me hope but i want to make sure of course..can anyone pls check the product on the web and tell me if it's ok...what do you think?

Chelation therapy is a treatment to remove heavy metals from the body. The use of chelation stemmed from the misconception that mercury poisoning from vaccines was causing autism. This has since been proven to be incorrect in multiple studies conducted in multiple countries. The use of chelation as treatment for autism has no scientific support whatsoever. What makes it worse than some other fad treatments is that it can actually be dangerous and many consider it to be unethical. This is a treatment that I am unable to support and one that the scientific and clinical community would suggest should be avoided.
