Read about on the Stories of Hope page on this site

_Treating Autism_ (http://www.treatingautism.com/)

You can open up the DMSA and give orally which is what we do. Kirkman brand

is not bad taste or smell

am getting ready for the switch from TD-DMPS...have been reading

some good stories on Lee Silsby website about TD-DMSA... looking for

some REAL stories from any of you that have them. They make it sound

so awesome on the website. I guess I worry about the transdermal

REALLY getting into his body to make something leave it...also, how do

most of you dose it? My son is 30lbs, almost 3. I guess oral would be

a nightmare as he doesnt swallow pills, also we are always fighting

yeast...so TD sounds the best solution for us...if it works!

No miracles here with Lee Silsby TD-DMSA, but steady changes and real

improvement since starting the TD-DMSA in September 2005. I have seen

an accelleration in progress (we are also using supplements since 2003

and intensive in-home ABA since 2004) that I can attribute directly to

chelation.

Our TD-DMSA syringes say 250 mgs DMSA per ml. I give my 45 lb son

about .3 ml every 4 hours. I think he could tolerate more, but I

haven't upped the dose yet.

I've had one DDI urine toxic metals test since starting the TD-DMSA.

My son did excrete some mercury; in the green. His first DDI hair

test on TD-DMSA showed a doubling of mercury excretion. Before you

jump up and down, I'll tell you that he barely excreted mercury in

hair pre-chelation... but I call that a measurable improvement.

So, we are on our way to recovery. My son isn't a yeasty kid, so I

can't tell you how TD-DMSA makes a difference there.

I saw an even bigger jump in progress when I added oral ALA (dump a

capsule in to some liquid or stir it into applesauce or even whipped

cream!) about 2 months ago. REAL jump in progress. I'm waiting for

the DDI urine metals test on this one.

Take care and good luck.

For oral DMSA chelation, DMSA capsules are usually opened just before the round

is about to start then divided to approximate doses. A number of folks then

scoop each individual dose into small bathroom size Dixie disposable cups. We

found 20 ml oral syringes available for purchase (Here's ours:

http://tinyurl.com/r3esc ) and just pull out the plunger slide the divided

amounts " dry " into the graduated dispenser barrel then replace the plunger. Our

20ml oral syringes came packed 100 so we can dry mix an entire round.

We leave the DMSA " dry " in the syringe until our lab timer goes off. At that

time we carefully pull the plunger back out again and add either cranberry juice

or orange juice until the graduated dispenser barrel is half full. Half full

allows us to mix the dry and the wet together better and avoid any " caking " in

the syringe. Too full and it's harder to mix things in the syringe up. With

enough shaking we pull the plunger out once again to fill the syringe up just

enough to be able to fit the plunger back in then orally dispense. We refill,

shake and dispense a second syringe-full just to make sure the chelator washes

out of the syringe

For night dosing. A flashlight by the bedside is handy. Some folks pack a cooler

and keep it by the bed. We like the flexibility of the lab timer. This is ours:

it's even traceable to NIST!
