Guest guest Posted August 9, 2000 Report Share Posted August 9, 2000 Hi Again! I am having a difficult time figuring out what supplementation is most appropriate given my son's PERSONAL problems here!!!!! #1- He eats next to NOTHING and doesn't swallow pills or even allow me to give him a liquid directly. #2 - while waiting to begin DMSA , I've been working on bringing down EXTREMELY high copper and aluminum. I have only been giving him 30mg zinc 1-2X day, 3 ml liquid milk thistle, 600mg Vit C (liquid)2-3X day, and 300mg magnesium. This is all I've been able to get into him so far. The liquid E and liquid B-complex were completely rejected (not good for a child who sniffs everything before touching!) Should any of these be increased or decreased? The zinc and magnesium were extremely deficient on his hair analysis (also iodine). My BIG question is this...how many of the following things can be given transdermally?: Liquid E Liquid B-complex Borage Oil EPA/DHA I'm thinking that until the compounding pharmacist can help me out on this...maybe this would be a good way to go???? Thoughts anyone? (I know, he'll STINK, right?) Andy: He is having a baby tooth with a cap on it removed on the 24th...anything I need to do before/after to help with this removal? I don't know what I'd do without you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Wish we could inject it at times heh? (maybe some of it can, and hopefully without a preservative ca ca in it). Myers cocktail, do that on a search, read it and tell me what you think?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Thanks Lyn...I guess I'm just going to have to get tough on this one!!! It's just that any time I've tried this, it really looked like a scene from the exorcist!!! Screaming, gargling noises, me " sitting " on him and of course...him spitting it all back out. The head never spun around...but I was watching closely just in case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 , This may sound cruel, but before Will could swallow pills I mixed up a slurry of his supplements, sometimes up to 30cc of liquid, and used a syringe to squirt them down. I always had a glass of juice to drink afterwards. It was hard to do the first week or two, but he got used to it fairly quickly. As a treat afterwards I would give him a chewable Vita C, which he thought was a sweet tart.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Yes, Ive been there too. Imagine my shock when one day, out of curiosity I handed Will a pill and said " here, swallow this " and he did! I guess he knew one way or another I would get it down him. Hang in there!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 I am just gearing up to begin DMSA. (we have confirmation of mercury at least in his small intestine; this is just after finally ridding him of cadmium then aluminum) Is this post saying that DMSA capsules can be broken into and administered in our concoction (his supplements, powdered, then syringed into his mouth w/ juice)? This sounds doable, as I'm afraid the swallowing of pills is out right now and the suppository.....well, the syringed juice sounds like less of a fight. Thanks for any insight beth >From: " Lyn Redwood " <autism treatment@...> >Reply- egroups >< egroups> >Subject: Re: [ ] Help with Supplementation >Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2000 09:18:23 -0400 > >, >This may sound cruel, but before Will could swallow pills I mixed up a >slurry of his supplements, sometimes up to 30cc of liquid, and used a >syringe to squirt them down.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 How did you confirm mercury in his small intestine? I did the succimer, since it was small pellets, in a tsp. of yogurt mixed up and had him swallow it whole. I don't see why you cannot open the capsule and dump in something with the DMSA. Amy, does that impact the sustained release quality? I know the compounding Rx. are also working on a sustained release supp. as well.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Lyn, The capsule is part of the time-release mechanism, so you are not supposed to open up a time-release capsule. But if the DMSA is the regular kind, like brand name Chemet, you can certainly open it up and put it in something. It really smells bad.
