2 rounds completed and some rigid behavior is back :-(

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Tom finished his 2nd round of DMSA chelation (25mg every 4 hrs.) last

Wed., and we've seen some rigid thinking/behavior come back. It

started on Fri., but the real " oh my, we had forgotten about this

kind of stuff " happened today in church (didn't want to participate,

didn't want to leave, then wanted to do the lesson but moaned and

cried a little - ugh!). He snapped out of the whole thing within 30

min. and we've had a fine day since then... like nothing happened

(to him, not me!).

So here's my question - anybody got a guess as to what caused this

stuff to return? Metals moving around, gut bugs, depleted minerals,

adjustment to chelation, something else???

Just would like to know what caused this so we can address it (or

just keep going if it will get better in time).

Thanks.

Peace and grace,

Sally, mom to

Tom, 8yo dx AS but on the road to recovery

Ben, 6yo NT by the grace of God

Gracie, 2yo NT and unvaccinated

Hi we just finished round 3 of ALA only, we are seeing good

improvement in language, awareness, and flexibility, except during

the last day of chelation and then for the next 2 days. Side effects

are increased hyperness, implusiveness, rigid behavior is an

excellent description, almost OCDish, I think it's metals cause my

son has never had GI problems in the past and his stools remain the

same, with the same frequency...although I am going to test for yeast

this week to be sure. My son had PANDAS last fall and I am concerned

about this resurfacing...so reading your note helped in the sense

that if there are 2 of us with the same symptoms, it probablely

something common rather than a zebra, like PANDAS. The first two

rounds he was better by the 3rd day, hope this helps

I did not notice it with DMSA, but after we started ALA my son's

reactions to supplements has changed. For example, he stopped

tolerating any neorganic calcium. I would stop supplementation and

see if it helps, if yes, reintroduce everything again.

is all new to me. Thanks

DMSA and ALA are detoxification agents. They are used for

mercury detox, yes.

It is okay that it is all new. You can find

information about most of the unfamiliar or specialized

words used on the list, here:

/files/Glossary

also, reading the FAQ file may help to give some context

to " DMSA " and " ALA " :
