Re: Does ALA Chelate Uranium?

[Guest guest]

Was the uranium elevated on a hair test?

According to Andy Cutler's Hair Test Interpretation book, hair

uranium less than .25 mcg/g is not significant. Above this level,

you can reduce hair and body levels of uranium by taking an

iron supplement.

Yes, his level was on a hair test (Great Smokies); it was .304. His

bismuth was 16.403 (they had range .224). We've seen a lot of bismuth

come out with the TD-DMPS (DData testing) but not much uranium (in the

green zone). I appreciate everyone's help.

Louise,

I couldn't find any reference in Andy's books about chelating uranium

specifically. There are some metals that fall naturally as we

chelated the others like mercury, lead, etc.

I do know that most people here would encourage you to switch to a

frequent dose protocol, no matter what chelator you choose. I use

DMSA/ALA because my son has lead as one of his problems. I am happy

to use the ALA because I believe it crosses the BBB and because it is

an amazing antioxidant--IMO our kids suffer greatly from oxidative

stress.

Best wishes,

Anita

I began excreting uranium in my urine when I took oral

DMSA (I also had uranium show up in my hair analysis).

However, the uranium only began to be excreted at a

higher level of DMSA. I started with 250mg of oral

DMSA (no uranium was excreted) and then moved to 500

mg oral DMSA (uranium was excreted).

No one is quite sure how I got uranium in my body. I

would love to hear any suggestions from this group.

This is an extemely high dose of DMSA and not recommended for children.
