RE: proper chelation protocol

[Guest guest]

We are anxiously awaiting test results for our 2-yr old son. He had hair

elements, delayed reaction food panel and immune blood tests. I was

extremely grateful to find a doctor who was open-minded about doing the

testing, but am a little concerned about how my son may be chelated should

this be required. The doctor said that for a 30-pound child he would

prescribe 100 mg of Chemet to be given every 8 hours for 5 days. Even if you

divided the capsules in half and gave the Chemet every 4 hours--that's still

50 mg per dose. I was under the impression that the dose should be more like

4-15 mg per dose (1/8 to 1/2 mg/per pound of child). Is the 50 mg too much?

Can't be given every 8 hours must be given every 4 hours unless it is timed

released.

Andy Cutler talks a lot about how dangerous this is by actually putting more

mercury in the brain.

It's OK for straight DMSA. The 1/8 to 1/2 becomes real important when you

are doing combined ALA and DMSA, or ALA by itself.

As long as you get Chemet the capsules come filled with little beads and you

could count them out to get more or less any dose you want pretty accurately

without wasting too much of your life - it isn't like dividing powder.

Actually it doesn't contain much in the way of generics. Mosby's GenRx is a

much better source to get all US drugs. The PDR contains the pricey ones

only as a rule.

If you want all worldwide drugs try dale's Extraphamacopoeia.

The FDA has to approve the info in the PDR so it is not particularly accurate

or relevant, unlike the other sources.

Jane El-Dahr says that she and Amy Holmes are using half the dose that the

PDR uses. I haven't compared dosage, but perhaps your doctor is using the

PDR dose.
