Soars in mouth during chelation

[Guest guest]

Hello Listmates:

This is my 12th round with my son Quinton (10yo 65 lbs). It is my 2nd

round with 100 DMSA/25 ALA. Quinton has gotten a small soar spot in his

mouth under his tongue. It is bothersome but not intolerable. Has

anyone else seen this. I've not seen this before except when he got sick

with strep throat towards the end of it. We were not chelating then

because we were trying to get him well. The spots went away when he got

well from the strep throat

In Christ's love and mine...Jen : ).

Hi Jen,

Personally I can tell you that I had the worst outbreak of canker sores in my

life after I added just 25 mg of ALA to the 100 mg of DMSA. I was afraid to

take it again, but I did and then I started having acne outbreaks on my face

and boils on my behind. I posted to this group about the canker sores in

April but no body responded with a similar experience. Also my psoriasis has

gotten extremely bad. I'm taken the same supplements as my son who I'm

chelating. So we get our Bs, C, E, cod liver, milk thistle, magnesium, CoQ,

EPA, DHA and lycopene three or four times a day. We also take probiotics &

evening primrose. The canker sores never returned after that one bad time

and my breakouts are not as severe. But they all have started either while

taking Lipoic acid or a day or two after. I'm guessing that ALA is somehow

causing this.

Hi guys, I am chelating my 3 1/2 year old son and he has had persistent mouth

sores both before and during chelation. I have been told by his doctor that

it can be caused by a zinc deficiency and we do see improvement when we

supplement. The doctor said give zinc on an empty stomach, preferably right

before bed. Maybe the chelation takes zinc out of the body. I know DMSA

binds preferentially to heavy metals but will also chelate minerals. It

should be relatively easy to try it and see if it helps. Good luck. Paige

um, yeah, either ALA or mercury!

Just my thoughts, Moria may be right, this could just be mercury, our

son has had big one after a round of chelation, and prior to that he

had never had one. I also for several months after having a huge

amalgam removed, with no percautions taken unfortunately had several

break outs of canker sores all over my mouth, this went on for quite

awhile. I have since started many supplements and have not had any

severe breakouts, I believe if I am not mistaken Lysine will help

with canker sores, Leah

Hello,

Our personal experience is the citric acid in the ALA. Our son has a

high citric level and when he use to drink orange juice he would get

canker sores on his tongue. We have since removed juice completely

from his diet and now he only gets the sores during chelation from

the lipoic acid. We are in the process of adding NAC to lower the

citric acid.
