Would like to stop using DAN , and do on own!

[Guest guest]

I need advice. My son is 4 yrs old and weighs about 39 lbs. I would

like to stop using dan doctor and start using Andy Cutler method. I

don't know much about so I need advice on dosages of Ala and Dmsa.

Which brand is best, how much, and how often. We have had him on many

supplements, and has had 5 rounds of td- dmsa so far. He has mild Asd,

with a few verbal stims, hyperactivity, agression at times, but he has

come along way with communication and I would say is nearly normal.

But Ive been reading that the ALa is better at getting the mercury out

of the brain. The Dan doctor is getting way too expensive, and I've

almost ran out of money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank you L

Excellent plan.

I don't know much about so I need advice on dosages of Ala and Dmsa.

1/8 - 1/2 mg. per pound of each, every three hours (can do 4 at

night) for at least 3 days on and at least as many days off as on.

> Which brand is best, how much, and how often.

DMSA from VRP.com, ALA is available many places, brands, etc.

>We have had him on many supplements, and has had 5 rounds of td-

You can use the rest of your DMPS on Andy's schedule, if that is

more convenient. Others can help you with adjusting the doses to

DMPS' half-life of 8 hours.

DMSA and DMPS don't cross the BBB, so they only pick up body stores.

ALA is lipophilic, so it does cross the BBB.

Read the files (including the supplements file), make sure the

basics (E, C, Bs, Mag, etc.) are in place, and start chelating

gently. Use the onibasu archives at www.onibasu.com as a research

tool, and ask questions as they come up.

Good luck!

Madmercmom has given you some basics. Did you do a hair test?

There is a FAQ with basic info in the Files section - also check

out the Andy_Index which has lots more information.

> Is the ALA you use TD or oral? What would you recommend for the

type and dosage of ALA for him?

I used oral. I started my older kids with 25mg per dose and my

younger kids with 10mg.

I don't know if your child will tolerate 3x per day, but you can try

it if you want. Most kids tolerate ALA every 3-4 hours, so you can do

that protocol if you want to start conservatively.

Natural Factors.

3-6 days " on " , and 4-10 days " off " . I gave it every day at the end of

chelation tho, approx round 100.

>> What were the results and how

> soon did you see results.

I saw results within the first 10 rounds, he stopped having phenol

intolerance issues. I documented his progress here, about the middle

of the page

http://www.danasview.net/myson.htm

Chelation eliminated food and supplement intolerance, and eliminated

gut-yeast overgrowth issues. It was the supplements that caused the

recovery tho.

>>Did you use dmsa at all?

No
