A front page article in "American Psychiatry News", Vol 1, no. 11 dated November 2008 has revealed the cancelled planned trial of chelation therapy for the treatment of autism. They cited safety concerns regarding the use of chelating agents in children who may not have elevated levels of heavy metals. It appears that at least one substance (succimer) used in chelation treatments has shown to be potentially toxic in animal studies. The advocacy group Autism Speaks supports the use of empirically supported treatments for autism. "Unfortunately, chelation has not yet been empirically tested as a treatment for autism," said G. Dawson, PhD, chief science officer of Autism Speaks. therefore, she advises parents to carefully assess the safety and costs of such treatments and monitor whether they are effective for their child.
"Dr. Ron" L. Knaus, Medical Director, AAA
