Chelation Study...Anyone interested in contributing information?
by
This study is being conducted through Webster University’s Advanced
Research Methods class. I have been an active member of the autism
community for a number of years doing various types of research as well
as working with autistic children. I have dedicated a significant portion of
my life to the autism field and strive to find appropriate treatments to
make each individuals life as productive and independent as possible. The
main purpose of this study is to examine aspects of chelation therapy as
treatment for autism. This is not an experiment; it is simply a survey
asking various questions about your child. This survey and the
information you give us will be kept anonymous. If you are interested in
helping just reply to this message and I will send you the survey and
instuctions, it should not take more than fifteen minutes to complete.
From this survey I hope to provide a rationale for a need to generate
further FDA approved studies and research on the topic of chelation
therapy as treatment for autism. If you would like to hear about the
results of this study, please contact the Behavioral and Social Sciences
Department at Webster University, care of Professor Seena Kohl,

the end of May. If you are interested in this topic, below is an article you
