chelation / yeast question

[Guest guest]

I'm sure there is an answer for our problem somewhere in the archive,

but I'm so pressed for time from so many demands that I'm hoping

someone out there will be able to give me an answer a little sooner

this way.

My daughter is autistic and I began treatment with Nystatin in March

to combat her yeast overgrowth. We saw very good results and then I

learned about chelation. I began chelating her with DMSA (50 mg every

4 hours- 3 days on, 4 days off) the first half of August and have

been doing it every week since. Once again the results have been

very good and the progress has really given me hope. She is so much

more verbal and observant.

I did a Great Plains Lab urine test for heavy metals and yeast before

chelation and after six weeks of chelation. The metals are indeed

coming out, but the yeast is much higher. I've done three OAT

tests. One in March, one in August and one a few weeks ago, and the

yeast continues to become worse over time, even though she is getting

Yeast Aid from Kirkman Labs, multiple supplements (lots of cod liver

oil, EFA, vit E and A, flax seed, Super Nu Thera, Vit C, calcium, and

others) and Nystatin.

Our doctor is new at this, and I'm so glad he has been willing to

work with us on doing chelation, but I'd like to give him some idea

of what others have tried when Nystatin no longer does the trick.

Where do we go next? What's a good chemical to help combat the yeast

while we chelate? My little girl is constantly putting her hands

where they don't belong and I know she is uncomfortable, to say the

least. I'd appreciate anyone sharing their experiences with me.

Thanks!
