Question for Moria regarding ALA only

[Guest guest]

Moria, Since my Docter won't give us a perscription for DMSA I might

just chelate my four year old daughter with ALA only. I'm waiting on

results of a stool exam from GSDL to see if her yeast and bacteria

levels are ok. She is showing lots of symtons of Hg poisioning lately

and I really want to start something over the holidays. Could I get

DMSA or DMPS somewhere without a perscription? Does ALA come in a

suppository? What is the protocol for ALA alone?

Dear mwagnit@...,

1. IF YOU WANT TO you can buy DMSA without a prescription.

/files/HOW_TO_buy_DMSA

I am not recommending that you do this, it is up to you what you

want to do.

2. You can read about Andy's suggestions for how to chelate with

ALA only here:

/files/ANDY_INDEX

/files/Andy_dose_sched

There are a couple of risks/issues with ALA but Andy's METHOD

for use of ALA alone is very similar to for DMSA or DMSA+ALA.

Issues: ALA crosses the BBB and this involves both potential

risk and potential benefits. ALA tends to decrease excretion of

copper, so IF your daughter has high copper, this can make it

even higher (which is a problem). (zinc tends to lower copper.)

Each of these issues applies differently to different individuals.

3. I don't know the answer to the suppository question. I don't

know if this " works " . I also don't know where you would buy them.

I could provide directions for how to make suppositories, but,

since I don't know if this would work well, will skip them.

(If you want directions ask-- I have an herb book with a receipe

for this.) See ANDY_INDEX to see if any comments on the

suppositories question.
