Re: Test results & Treatment (sorry but this is long)

October 12, 2003

Hi Ed,

Welcome. You are in the right place.

The Files section of this list has lots of information that you need asap, if

you haven't accessed these already.

The DMSA schedule you are using is not good. I'm thinking you should

discontinue until others on the list can advise you on a better dosing schedule

and also other testing you may wish to consider.

There is a file on hair testing that will help you resubmit your son's hair

results so that we can all better understand what is going on with him.

I have two immediate questions: does your son have any amalgam (silver dental

fillings)? and are you working with a health care provider of some sort?

Hope to hear back from you soon

Lissy

[ ] Test results & Treatment (sorry but this is long)

I have been lurking (and reading) on the list for quite awhile. I

respect the first-hand knowledge of the group and I am looking for a

little feedback.

My son 2.7 (34 lbs) has recently taken a hair and urine test. Test

results are listed in detail below. The urine test was DMSA provoked

(250 mg). In the original hair test he showed very high Lead and low

Mercury. When we got the urine test back he showed very elevated

levels of both.

My son has just started on DMSA about 2 weeks ago. (1) 100 mg dose

once a day, 5 days on and 5 days off.

I have noticed from the postings that most children his age seem to

be on a lower dose of DMSA. Is his dose too high? Considering his

lead levels are so high we were anxious to start right away.

Is there any further testing that we should do to try and pinpoint

his condition and treatment needs more accurately?

When should we add in ALA? I am concerned about adding it too early

with all the bad things floating around and exposing his brain to

further damage.

His overall condition has improved significantly since we started the

DMSA. He is also noticeably better on " On " days than he is on " Off "

days. His therapists have independently verified this through their

reports and they aren't aware of the DMSA or the schedule

Thanks in advance,

Ed

Ed,

Welcome to the list. The dose of DMSA you're giving is high and the dosing

schedule potentially harmful. 1/8 - 1/2 mg per pound of child given every 4 hrs

day and night is what Andy Cutler, PhD (in Chemistry) recommends to avoid

redistributing the mercury (or lead) to other parts of the body.

>

If you did DDI hair analysis check the FAQs of this list for counting rules to

check for disordered mineral transport which often signifies mercury toxicity.

Many post test results to the list for help interpreting them.

Have you identified and reduced/eliminated the source of exposure to lead?

This is the wrong way to do it. DMSA must be given every 4 hours

'round the clock for several days in a row, or not at all.

Yup. 10 mg would be a lot more reasonable.

Probably not, but repost the hair test in the format described at

there.

After you get the basics of proper chelation down.

That isn't a proper concern. Appropriate versus inappropriate and

harmful chelation protocols is the concern. Chelation has to be done

properly.

Thanks for the reply . Can you please explain (or point me to an

explanation) how the higher dose redistributes the mercury to other

parts of the body.

I went through the counting rules and it doesn't seem that any of the

first 3 show that Jack has mercury toxicity. However it was found in

his urine test last month at high level. The urine test was provoked

with 250 MG of DMSA.

We live in an old house and we are pretty certain that is the source

of the exposure. We are eliminating exposure points as quickly as

possible but there are many. All the bathrooms have/had lead based

tile and the tub in the kids bathroom was a very old cast iron tub

that we got rid of. Then there is the paint...

Thank you I appreciate your experience and committment to the

board.

Just to be clear, would you recommend 10 mg every 4 hours?

I have reposted the results in the preferred format in an earlier

reply. I would appreciate any feedback you might have after looking

at the results. I also applied the counting rules and the results

showed no mercury toxicity at least in answering the first 3

questions. But his mercury levels were in the red after a provoked

urine test. (250 mg DMSA one dose)

Would you be comfortable adding in the ALA now if the dose is

adjusted to the protocol you recommend or is there more to do before

adding it in?

Thanks again,

Ed

Ed,

It's the infrequency of dosing that causes redistribution. Chelation is Greek

for claw. The chelation agent latches onto the toxin it chelates but doesn't

have a particularly tight hold. One wants to keep a steady amount in the blood

stream so that the chelator can escort out the toxins. By dosing infrequently

the chelator grabs and drops the toxins many times in various parts of the body.

Andy Cutler's explantation of this goes into more detail and higher level

explanation. Check the FAQs of this list under dosing. He also explains that

higher doses do not mean proportionally higher toxin removed but does mean at

least proportionally higher risk of side effects.
