Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 I would do a hair test thru DDI to see if he's still high in copper. ALA prevents fecal excretion of copper. You want to get the copper balanced first before adding ALA. Hope this helps! , mom to and [ ] ALA My son is very high in copper. We are using 3 tsp a day of zinc to lower it. Somewhere I read that you should not add ALA if high in copper. Is this true? If so, how do I find out if still high in copper. We are using DMSA. Thanks for any help.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Make sure the glaucoma drops don't contain thimerosal. If you have any mercury amalgam dental fillings and plan to chelate yourself, you need to have the fillings out according the proper protocol by a mercury-free dentist first. S <tt> <BR> Hello,<BR> By way of introduction - my son, age 6 with severe autism, used <BR> Andy's chelation protocol using DMSA/aLA and went from low (almost <BR> not) to high functioning in just a few years. He is doing <BR> fabulously. We do have an MD but most of my info. came from here.<BR> <BR> My question - I had a hair test at the same time as my son's initial <BR> labs and we had almost identical values, suggesting I have a lot of <BR> mercury. However I was pregnant, then nursing my daughter til quite <BR> recently, so I have never undergone any chelation.<BR> <BR> I was just diagnosed with chronic glaucoma and one of the strong <BR> suggestions was to supplement the prescription eyedrops with several <BR> standard doses of vitamins, and 50 mg. daily of lipoic acid. Would <BR> it be dangerous for me to take it once a day? What about once a <BR> week, or something in between? (My daughter is no longer nursing, I <BR> mean just for my own health - I want to do anything possible to not <BR> lose vision, but I don't want to be stupid about mercury.)<BR> <BR> Thanks -<BR> Amy<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> </tt> <br><br> <tt> =======================================================<BR> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
