I'm not sure if this arguement is necessarily still valid based on the time frame. A few years ago we were renting a house (which we now own) from a older gentleman. Prior to us moving there, the house had burned and was remodeled and repainted.As I stated earlier we were renting the house from the gentleman and some time later the house (by The City of Houston) was told to us to have lead in the paint. The City of Houston instructed everyone in the house to get tested for lead poisoning. Everyone in the house tested negative EXCEPT my child (who was born literally, in the house). My child had not had lead poisoning on his records before now. And now he does. Is there something that can still be done now? And if so what methods would you suggest in handling this?

CHELATE your lead poisoned child!
Thats good advice (not). I am sure you know the BLL of the child- thru the monitor, or is it the IP.

Chelation is TOTALLY inappropriate for mild to moderate elevations.

Would you give a child chemotherapy for a abnormal skin lesion? NO! You would give it for systemic cancer ONLY. Same principle with chelation

OP Don't give in to hysterics. Unless YOUR doctor prescribes chelation- don't seek it out. And if s/he does- ensure your child is monitored carefully. Because only an ignorant hysterical (however well meaning) fool would scream at you to get chelation without knowing your childs blood lead level.

Chelation is toxic- for mild to moderate poisonings it will do more harm than good.
