Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hi , thanks for the reply!! I am so glad to hear that your son is doing so well. I am so anxious to see some results. I am also scared that I will get my hopes up and nothing will happen. It seems like that is the way it always goes with Cayla. I have tried so many things with really no progress. I have always known she was mercury poisoned. Now that I am finally doing the ALA it really gives me hope. How long before you started seeing results?? I will end up doing the DMSA at a later date, but just wanted to start with ALA first. Rochelle Re: [ ] chelation questions - Rochelle Rochelle, ALA should work for your daughter. I don't think it matters if ASD is regressive or not. She was obviously exposed to mercury during your pregnancy or in her early days. My 5 year old is not regressive, yet ALA has helped him tremendously. We started with DMPS for three months and when we added ALA, really great things started happening for him. We're on round 22 now, and he is really doing great. Jukoski In a message dated 10/30/2004 1:38:01 PM Eastern Standard Time, writes: > Hello I started chelating my daughter yesterday with ALA only.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 , when you added the Ala, what did you notice? Are you doing the transdermal DMPS along with the ALA? Did a doctor recommend this or did you decide to try it? Kristy On Oct 31, 2004, at 8:32 PM, JLJukoski@... wrote: > Hi Rochelle, > I have worked very hard to find the right answer for my son.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 julie and rochelle, thanks for sharing! julie, your story sounds so familiar. my daughter is also 5. she became autistic with her 18 mo vaccinations. i have tried everything out there since she was 2 to get the mercury out. unfortunately, she has the yeast and gut issues. she remains nonverbal. i signed the papers last week for DMPS and am doing the waiting game. i pray that this is our answer. thanks again! angie from ohio Kristy <K@...> wrote: , when you added the Ala, what did you notice?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hey , thanks for emailing me back. Well we just finished round one last night, and overall she tolerated it very well. You mentioned in your email about side effects with ALA only. What are they?? Is it normal for the child's first day off the round to be a bad day. My daughter is not eating well today and crying a lot. Her dark circles look a lot worse also. Last night she was in her swing (Yes She still likes to swing) and she was laughing non-stop for about an hour at nothing. I know this is yeast, and I upped her GSE. I also have her on Olive leaf Extract. I hope it helps. Anyway I appreciate the advice. Thanks for listening. Rochelle Re: [ ] chelation questions - Rochelle Hi Rochelle, I have worked very hard to find the right answer for my son. We've been trying to figure it out since he was two, and now he is five. He has been doing the Feingold Diet for almost two years and " biomedical " treatment for over a year. I was very excited to begin chelation with him, which we started in May. But even though I had read so much great stuff about it and even though I was very dedicated to following through completely with chelation, I was still not sure if it would really work. The whole concept can seem a bit unbelievable. My husband didn't believe in chelation or any other biomedical treatment. He kind of viewed it as my hobby! But now that my son is doing so well, my husband does believe in chelation and other biomedical stuff. You just have to have faith that it will work. Cayla is very likely going to be helped with chelation. Most kids like her are. And since she is so young, I think you will see results more quickly. My son has received every ASD diagnosis, but I think that PDD is what fits him best. He has responded to chelation very quickly - not quite sure why, but we are pleased. Part of the reason may be that he has never had yeast and has never had gut issues. With DMPS, we saw gains with every round. After round 10 of DMPS, the total of the gains was pretty big and continued getting bigger quickly. We added ALA at round 12, and after a couple rounds with ALA, he started becoming quite normal. With every round of ALA, he is more and more normal - really more than I ever thought he could be. He is on round 22 this weekend. We will continue for the full two years. Also, ALA alone can be difficult on the child because of side-effects. We use very high dose vitamin C to eliminate the side-effect issues. Hope this helps you!
