Re: QUESTION RE CHELATION OF ALUMINUM WITH MALIC ACID

September 20, 2001

My son had high aluminum, too, on the only hair analysis we did, several months

into DMSA/ALA chelation. I was giving him one Magnesium Malate at bedtime, so

am guessing this had something to do with the aluminum coming out. I have since

read somewhere (on this list?) that Dr. Holmes now recommends Magnesium

Glycinate instead of Magnesium Malate as it is easier on the kid's body. I

don't know if it is an aluminum chelator or not. We still give Magnesium Malate

at bedtime, one pill each for each of my kids, who vary in weight between 55

lbs. and 140 lbs. (I do sometimes give just half a pill for the smallest child,

though.)

We saw increased levels of aluminum in urine tests with both DMSA and DMPS

but did use malic acid later to chelate aluminum better. We gave it in

magnesium malate form continuously for just over a year twice a day on days

when he wasn't using DMSA or DMPS. He was around 40 lbs when we started and

took one 825mg tablet cut into two doses a day.
