Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Has anyone tried the PCA oral spray for chelation? We are trying to work on my daughter taking pills, but it is very difficult right now. My DAN doctor suggested I try this PCA oral spray for 8 weeks every day and then take a urine test to see if more metals are coming out. Haven't heard much about it, or seen anything on this listserv about it. Thanks, Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 People from time to time do come in and ask about this or some other spray. Most of these type of products are not chelators or have a small amount of a chelation substance in them. Hopefully you are asking before actually ordering one? If you believe your child has a mercury detox problem get a DDI hair elements test, and find out as much as you can about real chelators. Andy Cutler has developed DDI hair elements test counting rules to help you look at hair test results to see if mercury chelation may be worth considering. Andy has developed responsible mercury detox protocols using ALA, DMSA, DMPS.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I checked out the PCA RX, as this is what DR wanted to use for my son. It is very expensive, and I declined. I ordered Andy's book instead! -- In , " Kerbob " <robertbloch@c...> wrote: > People from time to time do come in and ask about this or some other spray.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I crush my son's pills & mix them into juice. If they taste awful you can try adding some stevia or sugar and maybe some natural flavoring from the health food store - flavorganics is a good brand. Some people have used things like chocolate syrup, peanut butter, jelly, etc. You can also try hiding the pills in soft foods like gum drops, bananas, or canned peaches. If they'r enot small enough for that to work you can try breaking them into small pieces - a pill cutter is good for this. I would be concerned that the dose may not be frequent enough to be safe - read up on Andy's protocol (usually giving a dose of chelator every 3-4 hours). 8 weeks straight also seems like a long time for a round. I don't know anything about PCA though. Good luck, -Sara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Based on a firends strong recommendation, I tried PCA instead of DMSA at first. Wish I never had. (I am treating myself. mind you.) The first few months I got a little better but don't know if that was becasue of the PCA of becasue I moved away from where I think I was getting mercury expose. Then I got WAY worse and almost died for several months until I got on DMSA. I had to start the DMSA v e r y gradually, but my seizure like attacks that I was having ever night, ceased after about 4 doses. I wish I had never taken the PCA and gone straight to Andy's protocol. Also, remember that there is ALA in the PCA, and I think (but am not sure) chlorella). So....these things will most likely bemoving mercury around. However, a mercury toxic friendof mine in her 70's used PCA until she got her fillings out and said she thought it really helped her. Recently, she admitted she ALSO thought that the PCA did not totally bind with the HG, but did so to a degree. I have a thought, but an uneducated one: I think if one were not terribly poisoned and they took a squirt of PCA every 4 hours , it might be better. I also think that if one took PCA along with DMSA, it might be better. But these are totally uneducated thoughts like I said. I talked with Andy once and he told me that the PCA does not really work the way they would like to think it does, but never explained his reasoning. I would be really interested in knowing..... So there you have my 2 bits! ~Inga n 10/21/04 8:11 PM, marlowebechmann at thebechmanns@... wrote: > > > Has anyone tried the PCA oral spray for chelation?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Pca rx does not move mercury in to the urine but in to the stools. there is a Group where people are using PCA rx. Look in the files section for previous posts Fran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Actually on their website they do mention some sort of percentage ratio-- most goes into the stool but some goes into the urine.
