Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hello I started chelating my daughter yesterday with ALA only. I am doing every three hours 3 days on 4 days off. I was wondering if I started at 8 am Friday morning and I end on Sunday night is that ok, or should I go till 8 am on Monday. I know that is probabley a stupid question but just wondering. Also yesterday she had bad diarreah three times. Could this be from the ALA. I am giving her 2.5 mg every three hours. She is 22 lbs 23 months old. Also I was kinda looking for support. I was wanting to hear some stories of people that have used ALA only with an ASD child that does not have the regressive type ASD. My daughter showed signs from three weeks old. Does this usually help with this type ASD? Thanks for the help!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if I > started at 8 am Friday morning and I end on Sunday night is that ok, or > should I go till 8 am on Monday. yes, this is okay. Do start as early as you reasonably can on Friday morning, and go as late as you resonably can on Sunday night. > I know that is probabley a stupid > question but just wondering. oh, my! Not the LEAST bit stupid. Anything to get to sleep > Also yesterday she had bad diarreah three > times. Could this be from the ALA. sure, it could be. You can reduce the dose if this seems like a problem, or you can put up with it. See if it continues to correlate with the ALA. > I am giving her 2.5 mg every three > hours.

Does this usually help with > this type ASD? I don't have info that is partiuclarly about ALA only with non-regressive ASD. However, I hope that you will find the following useful for support: http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/LOVE_LETTERS.html oh, and Dana has a child who was diagnosed with classic Kanner's autism (from birth, not regressive). She used ALA only and he is much better. I think there are a couple of items about Dana's child in the LOVE_LETTERS (at the URL above), or you can read more about him at her website: http://www.danasview.net/ good wishes, Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My kids are fully chelated with ALA. The only negative we experienced, was a tendency toward yeast for about the first 50 rounds.

Try lower dose, and only in the morning. See if that helps. It has the folinic acid, methyl b-12 and TMG in it. It also > has L-serine in it.

But, it can also be the TMG. I don't know what L-serine is. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple questions if anyone can > comment, I would be so appreciative. First, is it typical to encounter > negative symptoms sometime during the course of chelation? I think it is common, yes, although it could be something mild or something more intense. People TEND to get some " mercury " symptoms during chelation (the " on " days) and/or the first OFF day. > If I do encounter any > negatives that don't seem to go away with mineral supplementation and > yeast/bacteria killers, should I reduce the ALA dosage for awhile? um, yeah, maybe. If the mercury or the chelation agent is causing a problem, a lower dosage will help. On the other hand, if you've got (say) yeast overgrowth or anything else that " takes on a life of its own " then lowering the dose may not make much difference. Sorry if this seems like a complex answer. > Secondly, I'm wondering about B vitamins.. My son has not been able to > tolerate B complex or mineral supplements for some time.
