Re: Abid/was: My Son's 2nd Round -- Problems -- Update

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to follow-up. My son is OK now -- actually a little better than

OK. He is sitting in one place again and looking through children's books. He

used to do this a while ago but regressed. Also, he is able to use some

language which he lost -- just a few words but I'll take it!

We are going to chelate again starting this Friday -- 10mg DMSA + 5mg ALA

(lowered from last time). We will dose every 3 hours for sure.

Thanks to everyone.

Sorry you are having a hard time, I remember how nervous we were. I don't really

think the dosage was too high, but some kids can be ultra-sensitive.

Probably a bug, but to be safe, drop the dosage of the Ala to just 5 mgs. Not

that I think it was too high at 10 mgs, but more important that you be

comfortable.

Let us know, Abid, how he does with the next round.

[ ] My Son's 2nd Round -- Problems -- Advice Please

We are on my son's (5y.o. and 38lbs) 2nd round of chelation. In

this round, we introduced ALA. We are giving 10mg DMSA + 10mg ALA

every 3.5 hours (we put the mixture into apple juice). We have run

into the following problems:

On day 2 he has a 102 degree fever. We gave him Advil. Was this

appropriate? Should we stop chelation?

Also, he seems to be throwing up his chelators.

What should I do? Should I be using a transdermal form of DMSA? Is

their a transdermal form of ALA available?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Abid

Well, more than okay, even better! This is wonderful, reading quietly and

increased language, great! Easy lesson, noone the worse for wear, good luck

with the next round, looking forward to hearing more good news.
