Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I just open Kirkman capsule sin to a little juice/water mix, it smells nice and Sam seems to like the taste Mandi in UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Trying to prepare for when we start chelation... Anyone know where I can find liquid ALA? I followed a link on Moria's site that said BrainChild sells it, but I can't find it on their site. Or should I just mix my own liquid from capsules? My concern is not being able to divide capsules accurately enough. Can I premix a whole capsule of ALA with liquid? My ds is 27 lbs, so if I start with around 1/4 mg of ALA per lb per dose as per Andy's protocol, I would somehow have to measure out about 7 mg of ALA per dose, so I'm thinking this would be much easier to do in liquid form. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Anyone tried a Braun hand blender?? Those work great for mixing up all kinds of things. We are also using a coffee bean grinder to grind up the dry vitamins before adding them to the braun with juice. > > > > > > > > Trying to prepare for when we start chelation...

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 We use our shot glasses to hold each dose, then line them up in the cabinet. Pour into medicine syringe, suck up a bit of juice, shake and go. Anyone else feel a bit " illegal " with the mirror and blade? I use a sharp knife and a plate. That way if the neighbors are looking into my kitchen they will not think we are dope feinds! > > > > > > And if you child need 7 mgs per dose get the 25 mg kirman and > > divide > > > it 3 ways which is close enough.
