Hi everyone,
A mother of a six week old called me for a routine bf issue and casually
mentioned she was planning to find "someone" who would give her chelation
therapy. She had heard this treatment (given IV for three hours bi-weekly she
says), will "1) increase her breastmilk,  2) help her overall health,  3)get
rid of her heavy metals "
I have never heard of any such thing and it really made me pause (gasp?)
Anyone else experience anything like this?
