Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 We have done metal-free for 2 weeks (doctor assured us it is gentle and safe). My own research on the archives of this godsent group and looking up ingredients has me panicKed. Is lipoic acid the same thing as ALA? We are only giving her one dose a day. I know now not to blindly trust any doctor. I gave her a dose this morning but don't plan on doing any more. In the two weeks she has made improvements but has also been more difficult to handle. Tonight I noticed a red splotch on her neck. She has a lot of food allergies but never has had a rash on her neck. I feel like an idot that we gave it to her with out checking more first.

I am sure you had your son's best interest at heart. Stop what you're doing, Breathe! Give him Andy's recommended supplements as soon as possible, take several days off and begin again every 3-4 hours, 1/4 to 1/8 mg per pound of bodyweight. Hope this helps, Tina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 , We used Metal Free with my son for a month. Didn't see any reactions either positive or negative. We also did pre and post metals test and there was no difference in the two so we stopped and moved on to DMSA. Hopefully your daughter will have little to no reaction. As someone else said, don't beat yourself up over it, take it as a lesson learned and move on. HTH. Peggy > We have done metal-free for 2 weeks (doctor assured us it is gentle and > safe).
