hyperactivity has returned

[Guest guest]

We have just finished round 12 of chelation as per the Andy Cutler

protocol and are definitely seeing real and sustained improvements.

We are still chelating regularly and are currently using DMSA and ALA

together (DMSA 6.25mg/ ALA 12.5mg for a 60lb boy). We find this

combination seems to present fewer side-effects than using either of

these chelators on their own.

In November last year we finally overcame Callum's hyperactivity

problems. At last he would sit still for meals and stay seated during

his ABA sessions. But this only lasted until just before Xmas when he

came down with a yeast infection. We have now beaten the yeast

problem but the hyperactivity is persisting.

We are wondering if chelation has caused the continuation of

hyperactivity. Could the hyperactivity be due to reduced zinc or

chromium, or perhaps other oxidative effects of the DMSA? Or could it

be due to the ALA increasing copper retention? Or could it be a

combination of increased copper and reduced zinc and/or chromium? If

so, would be wise to increase zinc, chromium and molybdenum

supplementation in the short term?

Or are there are other likely reasons for the hyperactivity? Has

anyone had any success suing specific supps to treat this problem?

Thanks.

you could try increasing some of the minerals and see, but here after

30+ rounds, hyperactivity still means yeast. Now that I know what

signs to watch for in my son I see it coming during/after each round.

If you are sure it is no longer yeast, and you have not added any new

supplements, then I would consider the copper issue. Copper did make

my kids hyper.

Conversely, it might be that he no longer needs high doses of some of

the supplements you are currently using. This happened with my son.

Good luck.

Hi Steve,

Dr. Hardy stated at one time that a folic acid deficiency could cause

hyperactivity.He recommended folate by ultrametagenicsto my friends son.
