Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 You need to tell his weight. But I do know that this sounds very high in dosage. I am wondering if I have had a drug reaction (right now) and I was giving 13mg for 30 pounds of kid. So, to start off, I'd start low and not high. Also, according to Andy, DMSA only lasts in the blood for 4 hours and you want to maintain blood levels of the chelator, so you'd want to split the doses and give every 4 hours. I am sure more will respond to this e-mail. You are missing magnesium, zinc, Vit C (probably some other very important supplements). Apparently Glutathionine, as a supplement, does not get absorbed very well. Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 This is a very large dose to be starting with. I would want to make sure my son tolerated it at a much lower dose than this. Andys protocol for example would be in the range of 25mg (as opposed to 250mg) given every 4 hours including at night for 3 days, rest for 4 or 11 and repeat. Water solubale supps need to be given often, at least 4 times per day - Vit B and C and some E, minerals also. Also the urine catch can not be relied upon for results, we always got the best reading on an early morning urine of day 2. You could mniss the pee he dumped metals in altogether. Its hit and miss and expensive, I stopped it ages ago. The best way is to see a difference in your child. HTH Mandi IN UK Chelating son Sam My eight year old son will be starting chemet dmsa therapy next week. Our DAN doc wants to give him 2.5 caps (100 mg each) every 8 hours for 3 days, skip 11 days, then repeat cycle again. I will send in a urine sample on the 3rd day to check results. Jake will also take glutathione, silenium, and chelation aid pro support. Anyone think jake should take other supplements as well, any signs to watch for which trigger alarms during this process? Anyone think the dosage is too high, too low....thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 This dosage is ridiculously high, the protocol is wrong, the doctor isn't competent to supervise chelation. Try 25-50 mg every 4 hours. And remember, lots of vitamin C, magnesium, zinc, etc. during this process. Many daily doses of those.
