Zinc loading prior to chelation?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

We are getting close to our first round of chelation and the subject

of zinc loading prior to DMSA chelation has come up. I am looking

for reasoned opinions on the importance of zinc loading prior to DMSA

chelation.

Our son has been getting about 10mg/day of supplemental zinc and we

plan to increase this slightly. He is about 30 lbs. He has been

getting the supplemental zinc for a couple of weeks. Before this we

took a break from supplements and convinced ourselves that this was

not helpful.

Thanks,

Proper amount of zinc: 50 mg a day or more.

Give it in divided doses.

You can chelate any time you want to.

It would be wise to ensure your child actually has a heavy metal

problem, e. g. by checking a doctor's data hair element profile, since

what you say below does not create great confidence in your health

care provider.
