Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Dana, she is on DMSA & ALA from Kirkmans - the low dose kind with 12.5 mg each every 3 1/2 hours. I am almost positive she doen't have any yeast problems - she has been on diflucan once (her doctor prescribed as precautionary for the DMSA) and there was no die-off or anything - her 'poops' are nice & firm & she gets lots of pro- biotics. She did have lead - but not in the yellow range - but still she has been excreting lead in every lab test (in the green) along with mercury and a bunch of other bad stuff. (Note: sorry for my misspelling in my previous post - she was not bitching she's been biting!! Freudian slip - I'm the one who's been bitching!!)

Does the ALA have any additives, or is it just straight ALA?

For my son, his bms are not always an indicator of whether or not he has yeast. You might try increasing probiotics, or give her an active yeast killer like GSE or oil of oregano, see if that helps. She did have lead - but not in the yellow range - but still > she has been excreting lead in every lab test (in the green) along > with mercury and a bunch of other bad stuff. Then I would guess lead is coming out of her brain. > (Note: sorry for my misspelling in my previous post - she was not > bitching she's been biting!! Freudian slip - I'm the one who's been > bitching!!) No problem. Well, the TYPOS are no problem. Your family will have the final say on whether your BITCHING is a problem LOL Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 My daughter starts chewing her hair again on ALA. For her this means she needs more zinc than in between rounds. I don't know whether your daughter's biting has similar causes. Dagmar. [ ] HELP - first time added ALA this weekend My 4 year old daughter's last fecal metals only showed a teeny bit of mercury so her doctor said it was time to add the ALA with her DMSA. This weekend we added ALA. She had lots of temper tantrums this weekend and was bitching and pinching like a wild woman. I look like I've been in a war - I am all black and blue and full of bite marks. Do you think this is a coincidence or a reaction from the ALA? Has anyone else had a bad reaction to ALA? On another note: when we began chelation my daughter had NO functional language. We began chelation with DMSA and she began saying single words 2 days later - I am not kidding -like an explosion of language. Something just clicked with her. I know DMSA is not supposed to cross the blood-brain barrier but I cannot find any other explanation for her language burst. She is now up to a vocabulary of 300+ single words and a few phrases. I am so psyched!!! Becky ======================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Hi Becky, for me it sounds like bad bacteria. I would try biocidin and oil of oregano. They usually help with those symptoms for my son.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Hi Becky, It seems like others have already covered most of the things I can think of that might be culprits here -- such as yeast (which you think isn't it), need for more minerals, etc. Regardless of what the cause is, I would sure recommend a lower amount of ALA--- you don't want to be ALL black and blue [no, I don't think it is JUST a coincidence! It is always possible that she really is just reacting to the mercury (detox), in which case lower dose would help. I'm not sure what kinds of reactions overdoing sulfur causes, that is also a possibility (if she is high sulfur). good wishes, Moria > My 4 year old daughter's last fecal metals only showed a teeny bit > of mercury so her doctor said it was time to add the ALA with her > DMSA.
