DMSA & ALA--give together in same spoon or separate by? 1hour

[Guest guest]

I read Boyd Haley's suggestion that DMSA & ALA given together could

form disulfide bonds, rendering the treatment ineffective or

dangerous.

Has anyone effectively mixed the two capsules together in the same

spoonful to give to a child? Or did you separate the two meds and by

how long?

I have been giving the doses separately but every twelve hours the

doses coincide. So, yes, I mix them in the same spoon and put them

in ice cream together. For 7 rounds, I had no problems until today

when my son just went crazy. He can't talk so I don't know what was

wrong with him.

What specific danger does Boyd Haley say this can cause?

If you search the archived messages, you will find Andy's answer to

that.

I always mixed ALA and DMSA and gave them every 3 h.

My son has made huge progress so it worked for us. He has done 50+

rounds.

Boyd Haley's discussion on this is not relevant and there is no reason

to separate doses. It really doesn't matter if they form disulfides,

this happens all the time with your endogenous lipoic acid and any DMPS

or DMSA you take, it happens with the cysteine and glutathione in your

body and any DMPS or DMSA you take, and the DMPS and DMSA even form

disulfides with each other. These are not toxic and this is not a

problem.

I don't think Dr. Haley's comments were meant for public distribution

so I don't think he really analyzed this in great detail.
