Re: MS and Worsening

[Guest guest]

I have been chelating with ALA only for about 30 rounds. After some discomfort

in the first month (trouble sleeping particularly) I felt good for the next two

months.

After this I got worse again and in some areas (very panicky when trying to go

to sleep, racing heart, clicking neck) worse than before chelation. I still

always retained some of the good things (less problems with piles, worms and

arthritis and feeling happier most of the time). Then it got a little better

again. Now I have yet more problems, especially the odd involuntary jerking

movements particularly when trying to go to sleep and waking with numb hands,

sometimes arms or even feet.

I find this very frightening as I don't know, whether all this will be temporary

as some other issues have been in the past or whether I might be risking to make

myself permanently worse. So far I still tend to continue with the ALA (I do 25

mg doses).

The rest of my family are a bit ahead of me with chelation. My daughter is the

furthest. She has done nearly 200 days of chelation in just over 60 rounds. I

stopped DMSA with her completely, as after 6 months of no problems her blood

values changed and she got nauseous every evening. This took 6 months to

resolve. I have just recently decreased her dose from 33mg to 12mg and only

chelate her every few weeks. She gets quite frightened with chelation and I am

worried of doing permanent harm. On the positive side, one of her major issues

seems to be changing to the better. After more than two years of little changes

with chelation, she is starting to understand people better and make real

friends.

My son has been chelating nearly as long a my daughter. He is on 25mg ALA per

dose and does not seem to have problems with it (except feeling a bit more

vulnerable on round and just after). He has changed dramatically about a year

ago, but being 6 years old at this time, this also happened to some other

children, who never chelated, as part of their ordinary development. Taking that

he has no big issues with chelation I will continue with him, especially as the

toxins in his hair seem to go down and he still has mineral transport issues.

My partner has not done ALA for several months, as his last round made him feel

very odd in his head and frightened him. At the same time he was in a much

better mood for a long time afterwards. This is now wearing off now and I hope

he might chelate again soon for the sake a better atmosphere in our family.

Let me know what you decide to do and how you get on.

All the best,

MS and Worsening

Dear Andy/All,

I'm suffering from MS since about 15 years (see message# 1513 and

others in this group).

Since August 2004 I'm chelating properly(!) according to Andy's

schedule (3 days on /4 off; 6 on/8 off; I " fiddle around " for the best

protocol...).

After the first 2-3 months of chelating ALL MS symptoms have improved

rapidly (I couldn't believe it!!).

Afterwards SOME symptoms worsened again clearly (Ataxia, paresis of

foot-lifter thus worsening of going ability)

This condition is WORSE as before the beginning of chelation.

I'm very confused now.

What should I do?

Thanks for your help

Tom

Dagmar,

Thanks for the progress report!!!

Some people say that increasing magnesium helps with the involuntary

jerking movements. I get those too once in a while.
