Re: Pam/was:using ALA for NT kids; is dosing schedule still important?

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam:

Because your daughter has a sibling who tends to store heavy metals, IMO, I

would not use anything with Ala in it. Autism is not genetic, but I believe the

tendency to be unable to excrete heavy metals is.

Also, mercury can cause damage in the third optic nerve causing vision problems,

so it may just be mercury that is causing the problem.

Have you done a hair test for her? If not, IMO, again, I would.

Yes, Ala should always be used every three hours unless a person is very, very

sure there is no mercury in the body, and who can say that?

[ ] using ALA for " NT " kids; is dosing schedule still

important?

Hi,

I bought an ocular nutrition vitamin/mineral blend for my NT daughter;

age 7. It contains ALA, although it does not give an amount (I

noticed it when I got home... it is under the 'other ingredients'

section).

Should I use this? It is open, so I cannot take it back. If I use

it, do I have to be careful with dosing despite her NT status? I

don't like not knowing how much ALA is in here. I am going to try to

contact The Vitamin Shoppe to see if they can give me more info, but I

doubt they are the manufacturers.

Bottom line question: should ALA always be used every 3 hours despite

your health status (especially since you know family members are heavy

metal poisoned)? Many of the ocular health blends contained ALA; I

overlooked this one.

Another question: does anybody use " ocular nutrition " supplements?

If so, what do you use? My daughter's vision is quickly deteriorating

(not anything bad... just classic myopia).

Thanks,

Pam

It will go in the garbage unless I can find how much ALA it contains

per capsule. If it has enough ALA, I'll use it every 3 hours on the

weekends I chelate.

I figured it wouldn't be a good product.

I don't know what it is about those combo products that seems so

appealing, but fwiw I've bought a bunch of them and they've all caused

problems.

You know, Nell, I broke my cardinal rule of avoiding these kind of

junk products! I guess I know now why I discourage others from

buying them. Waaaaay to many things in one capsule. Holiday

optimism at it's best.

I'm still looking for a simple and safe vitamin/mineral/herb for

ocular health. Anyone?

I usually wear glasses for a very mild myopia. When I chelate with ALA, I

don't need glasses anymore. My sight is perfect.

Vitamin A I think should help.

Did you ever hear of a plant called " celandine " (Chelidonium majus)? Or

" Greater Celandine " . I remember learning about it in school... it is used for

eye health (among many other uses). But you might want to research this one

before you use it.

I do need to chelate my NT kids. I'm getting them primed by

learning to swallow capsules and then they are joining our ALA party.

Thanks,

LOL, I can't tell you how many times I break the rules I'm telling

others about -- the introduce-one-supp-at-a-time rule comes to mind .

So interesting. I keep taking my glasses off and on (and losing them!)

because sometimes I seem to need them and other times not, and often

the prescription feels way off.

I remember you Valentina from when I was lurking here years ago,

trying to piece together this weird strange chelation idea. Glad

you're back!

I feel the same way. During chelation my eyes feel weird. Tired maybe, feels

like I

have sand in them... But when I finish a cycle, my sight is absolutely perfect

as

far as I can tell. I can read the smallest writing from a distance, without any

struggle.
