Hi ,

I don't really know why that happens, but just wanted to let you know how

important it is to give some B vitamins and some C. I understand your son cannot

tolerate them, but I think at some point he will start to (if you continue

chelation), so... maybe it's a good idea to keep trying. Maybe if you try some

really-really small doses many times a day, will work.

Sounds like the ALA aggravated a yeast issue

GSE is good for yeast, which seems to be the problem; however, for my

son using Ojibwa Tea, 2 or 3 times a day on a regular daily basis has

helped him more than anything for his sleep issues. It is a great

detoxifier and also helps with yeast, more on a long term basis. See

He may tolerate vitamin C from some source other than corn.

E. g. beet or cassva C from Nutricology,

Tapioca C from Jarrow,

Sago palm C from Twinlabs,

Potato C from Pergue.

Melatonin may prevent it if you can get that in him.

Try getting small capsules as from Twinlabs or Vitamin Research

Products and mixing the contents with something he likes to eat as a

bedtime snack.
