Redistribution Question

[Guest guest]

As we cycle the ALA, DMSA etc., redistribution happens on completion of

a round but how would a tape of the ALA effect this? Instead of doing

ALA at say 25mg all the way through to completion of the round, how

would taping off at the end to say 12.5 work to eleviate some of the

redistribution?

Doesn't work because Ala gets into the brain and dmsa does not, so dmsa cannot

" cover " for Ala.

I think you misinterpreted my question so I will try to restate more clearly

if that is possible for me to do. :-)

What I wanted to know was would tapering off ALA after a round decrease the

redistribution of Mercury? Example: Taking 25mg ALA for 3 days and then

tapering to 12.5mg and then to 6.25mg for a day or two.

I would think that would limit redistribution as there is less chelating agent

thus less metals pulled. I do this to some degree and also end the round with

just DMSA so we stop the pull from the brain and hopefully mop up the free

floating metals before stopping. We also sometimes give charcoal or do clay at

the end to further soak up metals/toxins. I really think it does work because

round before last my husband forgot to dose him and he ended up stopping mid

round. MAD was I especially since we had regression for the first time.

I wouldn't think you would have to start tapering that far out. I generally

do this for the last few rounds, maybe 5 doses.

I am not an expert, just taking educated guesses and going on what I have seen

in my son. Would be curious to see what others thought, I want to know if I am

wrong! I do remember reading others saying they do the same thing though?

We " mop up " w/ DMSA only on the last dose. Tuesdays have been

generally smoother since we started doing this. Of course, being a

few more rounds into the process could be the reason for the decline

in regressive symptoms as well.

Sorry, thinking you were talking about using dmsa as a " cover " for Ala, which

does not work for the reasons I last posted.

I remember this being discussed at an earlier date, but can't remember the

answer. Seems to me if you have any, even 6.25, you would still have

redistribution, I don't know. You can search www.onibasu.com and see what the

earlier posts said. I remember thinking that it wasn't worth spending the effort

to make up extra capsules with lessor amounts in them.

On pg. 239 of Hair Test Interpretation, Andy says " When using ALA with

DMPS or DMSA, leaving the ALA out of the last dose or two of the cycle

often reduces the day after effects substantially. " We do this and it

does seem to help.

I read the same thing in HTI, and we do the same.

I think that because of the 1/2 life of the chelator, it effectively

tapers itself off anyway.

I know people used to do this, just use dmsa for the last dose or two, but can't

remember why it was no longer considered important.

Thanks ,

I have the book but haven't started it yet. I did finish AI. Unfortunately

I don't have any DMSA.

Some people make the last two or three doses DMSA only as they say to mop up.

Some points:

You need the rest and your youngster needs to rest. Getting up every three

hours for three days and nights is tough. I see the potential for some

redistribution regardless of tapering off or not.

The reason you give the chelation anti-oxidants is to keep any redistribution to

minimal effect.
