yeast and candida issues during chelation, dosage question

[Guest guest]

hi

we are restarting chelation, we had terrible terrible yeast issues

after chelating at xmas and we have been using threelac to bring

them under control, they are now a lot better, so we are looking at

chelating again, however i dont feel threelac on its own will be

enough to control the yeast issues

so im proposing this - i just wonder if i could have any opinions at

all,

i have arranged for 8 doses per 24 hour period or thereabouts

for my eldest - i am giving him 1/8mg per pound of dmsa/ala, roughly

8 mg - and 1/4 cap of caprylic acid - ie 200mg of ca and 20mg of

grapefruit seed extract with each dose

for my youngest - i am giving 1/8mg per pound of dmsa/ala, roughly 4

mg - and 1/4 cap of caprylic acid for his age group which is 50mg

and 20mg of GSE with each dose also, i was wondering if i should

also dose with anti fungals the following day but only a

b/fast/lunch teatime schedule?

and how long do i dose at such a low dose for? when do i need to

start raising the dose? and by how much?

thanks for any input

Hi Emma

It is generally recommended to dose DMSA every 4 hours and ALA every

3 hours. If you are giving them together you can dose them together

every 3 hours for convenience. Most people on this list dose for 3

days then take at least as many days off, so 3 days on - 4 days off

or 3 days on -11 days off. Giving GSE during chelation days is a

good idea to help keep yeast under control. You may also need to

give it on the days off if you feel that yeast is still a problem. I

usually give GSE 3 times per day or sometimes 2 times per day (or not

at all) if things are pretty well under control during the " off "

days.

If the chelators are tolerated okay, you can increase the dose slowly

after a few rounds - like a few mg at a time. The recommendation for

dose is 1/8 - 1/2 mg per lb.

Good luck

I gave GSE with each dose of chelator, and then 1-2x on the first

" off " day.

Raise the dose if/when you notice that the lower dose is no longer

entirely effective.
