Because they say that the oral passes the blood brain barrier much better than the IV, especially with the alpha lipoic acid. And that is where the mercury is causing our kids communication and developmental problems. The IV is much more invasive and it's 4x more toxic. So putting those all together and deciding which one is the best for these kids, most parents and doctors agree on the oral. I tried the IV before I started my son on the oral cause I didn't know which one to do. But he was only two and we noticed huge gains just with the first dose. I couldn't imagine trying to make my, then, super hyper little boy to sit for three hours with a needle in his arm. But like you, if I thought it was the best way, I would've done it too. Goodluck and I hope your little one recvers with either method you choose.
