Guest guest Posted April 17, 2004 Report Share Posted April 17, 2004 Consider backing way off the dosage of both ALA and DMSA, some 175 lb adults only do 50mg. Start very slowly at 1/8 mg per lb of body weight, then increase as possible. Davey > Hi, > > My ASD son just turned 3 and weighs 34 pounds.

I would definitely recommend you reduce the ALA back down to a dose which is not triggering seizures or seizure-like activity. Also consider that perhaps yeast is flaring, which can trigger seizures for some kids. If that is true, drop the dose of ALA, treat the yeast, and you should be okay to continue.

I don't know, but it seems possible. I would suggest lowering the dose of ALA to 10 mg. > I stopped the ALA today and will > continue the DMSA this weekend. > Also, is there any other way to get the toxins out of the brain? no clear way to do so.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Just wondered how you all are doing chelation on such young children. My doc said my son was too young to drink as much water as was recommended during chelation, so we'd have to wait until he was older (maybe 4). moriamerri <moriam@...> wrote: > Hi, > > My ASD son just turned 3 and weighs 34 pounds.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 With ALA the mercury is excreted through the bowels rather than through the urine, so intake of liquid other than what is needed in general for good health seems less important.
