Re: Two DDI hair elements tests for my 5 year old son with PDD

[Guest guest]

Seems like I've read on these boards that you need to wait at least a

couple of months after amalgam removal to begin chelation. I might be

wrong on that -- maybe someone else on the board can comment on it.

This only applies when you use ALA.

Dagmar.

Seems like I've read on these boards that you need to wait at least a

couple of months after amalgam removal to begin chelation.

Consider removing sources of current exposure

Consider adding these

I think I would try to add a little zinc, see if that helps

My son improved when I added this

wait at least 4 days after amalgam replacement before using DMSA.

wait at least 3 months after amalgam replacement before using ALA.

okay. The first one does still have some value-- as you can

see it tests for more toxic elements.

yep-- and I'd also count the ANTIMONY as toxic (red on the

1st test, yellow on the 2nd test)

Please note he is yellow (not red, just yellow) on copper---

so I would think zinc a few times a day would be a good idea---

I would not necessarily say to forgo ALA--- but you might

want to do another hair test in a few months and check the

copper (to be sure it is not getting higher). Zinc a few

times a day will help.

um, I mostly just think that chelation is likely to help him.

and so is zinc.
