Here is the summary for the above article.
“The reviewers found no high-quality
evidence to suggest that chelation therapy is an effective treatment for
improving ASD symptoms. The study had a high or unclear risk of bias and the
quality of evidence was poor. Based on the potential harm of chelation therapy
and no proven benefits for children with ASD, it should not be recommended as
an alternative treatment for ASD.”
The first experimental group only has
one week of chelation therapy, the second group has the equivalent of 3 months (12
weeks) of therapy. Considering that
chelation can take 2 years or more to rid the human body of mercury, why would
they expect their study to have different results? The first group has 1/100th the length
of time, 1 week vs. 104 weeks (2 years), and the 2nd group has only
12 weeks vs. 104 weeks, 11.4% the length of time of standard chelation therapy.
Notice they don’t mention the period of
time over which the children are monitored. It’s this kind of
misinformation that is rigged by the establishment to “prove” that mercury does
NOT cause autism, that mercury has nothing to do with autism.
