Incidentally, and I don't want to influence or prime anyone reading this so I'll simply suggest you look it up yourself: Dr. Shaw runs a company that sells mail order tests for (among other things) "heavy metals" in your child. Your child is given a chelation agent to increase the excretion of said metals, and your child's resulting scores are compared to those of people who were not given the chelating agent. Then (surprise!) you can buy his books or his treatment medications, and even get more tests designed to instill fear, uncertainty and doubt. Never you mind there's no science-based treatment option here, no double-blind studies (or, indeed, any at all). There are plenty of anecdotes, and if you want the best for your child, anecdotes are enough, right? Affirmations of success from people who paid out the ass to experiment on their unwitting children, each one of those is worth two or three subjects in a real scientific study, right? Sorry. I'm passionate about this subject in particular.
