Guest guest Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi there, Andy Cutler's book mentions taking different things, including antidepressants etc, and that goes for some different herbs also, maybe for antifungal use or otherwise, alongside taking the usual chelating agents. Many of us have chelated whilst taking all sorts of different things. Some may take St 's Wart for their depression, and at the sametime things for their candida. There does not seem to be any issue with interaction. The only problem I have heard of is when taking ALA and having to be careful of copper, as ALA already increases copper while you take it....not sure of anything else. ALA is just an antioxidant anyway, but happens to be a powerful mercury chelating agent. Hope that helps . > Has anyone chelated w/DMSA & ALA while taking doctor perscribed medications? Or herbs for that matter? > > I take xanax, allegra, flonase, & aciphex. And am considering taking a tricyclic antidepressant. > > I'm concerned of the safety of chelating & possible drug interactions. > > I don't want to do anything else to hurt myself worse & would appreciate any input you could give. > > THanks! > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Many people on Mercury Autism are chelating with Andy's protocol and have their kids on tons of meds in addition to it. I have not heard of there being any problem or interference from the dmsa/ala with the meds you listed. Dmsa and ala only bind to metals and remove them, so they should not interfere. We use herbs all the time and have seen no problem with using them with dmsa. Just make sure to read all the pamphlets that came with those scripts for interactions. dmsa is a sulpher compound. But it should not do anything to your scripts. With chelation and glandular support you may find that the tricyclic is not needed anyway. > > Has anyone chelated w/DMSA & ALA while taking doctor perscribed medications?
