Re: chelation IV DMPS & EDTA or ALA and DMSA? please help!!!!

[Guest guest]

Don't do challenge tests. They cause serious redistribution and the

doses are way high. EDTA is not good for mercury. DMPS is but not as

an IV and as a one time dose. Andy has said that kids on the

spectrum should not do IV chelation.

You can chelate him with dmsa/ala yourself or see if your doc is

willing to try oral dmsa, oral dmps etc. Maybe letting him know you

don't feel comfortable doing another one time IV dose. He may be

open to using Andy's protocol. IF not you can get him to prescribe

the dmsa..just dose it yourself. Or you can purchase it yourself.

What would be most effective is the dmsa/ala together. Did your

son's hair test indicate mercury according the Andy's counting

rules? (See files section)

You can purchase dmsa from www.vrp.com

It is $28.95 for 120 caps of 25mg each. Which you would be dividing

up so it last a long while. Dosing is 1/8 mg per pound given every

four hours. Every three if using ala with it.

Hair testing does not have to be done, but periodically just to keep

tabs on things like copper. Maybe say once or twice a year. We plan

to do once a year. Some here do every three months. Following the

recomended supplements for Andy's protocol are needed too.

Jana,

I know that IVs are very popular right now, but they certainly

wouldn't be my first choice for a four year old. I have read quite

a few very sad stories involving IVs and, for me, the risk is not

worth it. If your child pulled lead at 17 with oral chelators I

would think that oral chelators (AC protocol) would be an excellent

and safe choice for him.

Many people find, especially for kids with lead, that DMSA combined

with ALA is the best option. It is very inexpensive (bottles last

forever!). I do a hair test every 6 months, no more. They are

helpful, but not necessary. I also do blood tests every now and

then to monitor liver function.

I hope this helps,

Anita

This combination is likely to cause SEVERE yeast overgrowth. If you

are only giving Nystatin to keep yeast under control, it is probably

not sufficient.

I think you answered your own question.

Try increasing your yeast protocol. GSE plus Candidase enzyme works

very well for my kids.

I used oral ALA for my kids.

Good luck.

Thank you! I know, sometimes it takes writing it down and getting all the facts

out to see what's really happening!
