Time-Released ALA/DMSA??Andy?

February 4, 2003

Hi,

Has anyone tried a time-released version of ALA and/or DMSA?

I spoke to Coastal Compounding about time-released ALA and DMSA. They said

it would be a snap to make it in capsule or pill form, and it would work

fine. We need a prescription, but Dr. Jepson, our DAN! Doctor has indicated

he would have no problem with it.

We have been on a schedule of every weekend and every three hours. I think

my daughter does not sleep all that well on the chelation nights. I know

that my husband and I get a bit sleep deprived. I am happy to do it, but if

there is actually a GOOD alternative for the night, I feel everyone would do

better.

I thought we would use the non-time release except for the 8 hour period of

sleep. We give 25 mg ALA and 25 mg of DMSA every 3 hours. We have been

going 4 hours at night without any negative result.

Coastal said that many of their hormone therapies and other round the clock

therapies REQUIRE that the medicine be compounded for uniform release over a

period of time. Is this true that the technology is good enough?

Thanks for any help,

in Salt Lake City
