Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 My son had these kinds of symptoms with DMSA (from VRP) and he would jump to his knees on the floor. We tried DMSA for 3 rounds and during the third, we had to stop because he was so uncomfortable. I was using 5mg doses every every 3 hours. We took a month break and I tried one 5mg dose and the symptoms came back full force (awful), so I know it was DMSA. He cannot tolerate it at all so I guess we're sticking to ALA alone from here on out. Fortunately, there were gains from our short use of DMSA, but I won't put him through the agony again. > > My daughter is on her first round in a few months. She is 9yo, > weighs > 72 lbs.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Posted October 20, 2008 I think I am going to finish this round with the DMSA. Then, for our next round I will try ALA alone. I did choose DMSA because it has been reported to have fewer side effects for those who are first starting chelation. I wanted to lower her body burden of Mercury before starting ALA. However, I will try the ALA and make a decision. I do have to say that increasing the dosing to every 3 hours has helped her with redistribution.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 I notice that magnesium is missing from your list of supplements. Magnesium is always in short supply, is used up fast during chelation because it is a cofactor for so many enzymes. Insufficient magnesium can be associated with headaches. Andy has sometimes suggested taking magnesium and vitamin C with every dose. I do this by using ascorbic acid as a filler for my capsules, and I make an electrolyte drink that I sip on all day that contains epsom salts (magnesium), ascorbic acid, with a couple other things.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Posted October 21, 2008 Hi Summer, I'm just curious,what was the source of your daughter's mercury and/or some other metal toxicity. I have a ten year old daughter who has developed a thyroid condition and I am looking into whether she has a heavy metal problem.
