I don't think the chelation herbs, or whatever was used, tend to depress the immune system directly. That is, if you have no heavy metals in the body, then I don't think it would affect the immune system. However chelation is a several step process, first is mobilization, then elimination. During the mobilization phase, heavy metals that have been put away become mobilized, and in the blood stream. This can, from my experience, cause systematic distress, essentially a heavy metal herx reaction until they are eliminated. That will, in my opinion, depress the immune system until everything is eliminated. I offset this by taking CS during the mineral cycle of the chelation. Also if the mineral cycle is not preformed during the treatment, then there could be consequences from loss of metals the body needs, such as calcium. Did she get any flu like symptoms, or circles under the eyes, when doing the chelation? If so then that is a sure sign of teh heavy metal mobilization causing a herx like reaction.
