Re: Was Amy yasko, now sulfur questions

[Guest guest]

So now I'm concerned and a little confused! If sulfur is a problem

for us, will chelation not work for my ds, or should it be effective

but make him feel really bad and cause temporary regression?

Thanks much,

Chelation works for most kids, , as many as 75% report improvement in their

kids, so chances are chelation will help. Most people do 5-10 rounds and then

evaluate the results. Chelation does benefit many kids who are high sulfur.

Some kids are better when they are on the chelators and some kids are a little

more irritable and stim more when on the chelators. There should NOT be any big

regression, just maybe a small temporary increase in some of his behaviors.

Just make sure to give the chelator according to the half life, so dmsa every 4

hours, ala every 3 hours, round the clock. If you miss a dose by more than an

hour, stop and wait for the next round. Give small doses to start, as little as

1/8 mg per lb, to start. Slow is better, better for you to be comfortable. You

can increase the amount a little with subsequent rounds.

Make sure he has E, once a day, and B's, C, zinc and magnesium 3-4 times a day

to keep him comfortable.

Don't get confused about all the talk, chelation works for the vast majority of

kids, just a small minority do not benefit and have to look for other options.

Good luck,

We have a family history of allergies to sulfa drugs and ours handles the dmsa

and ala without a problem.

Andy says the sulfur in the chelators is not related to sulfa drugs. Read this

Thank you . I'm basically in research and question mode right

now, because our DAN doc has said no-way-no-how to starting chelation

anytime soon. 's gut is a total mess... E. Coli among other

things, inflammation markers off the charts, diarrhea for 5 months

straight, leaky gut, etc. We are on SCD diet and antibiotics but no

improvement so far. Doc does not want us to chelate until gut

improves. But she says the really big Stop Sign right now is his zinc

level. He has RBC zinc of 6.7 even after months of supplementation,

she says it must be well above 9.0 before we can chelate. So we wait.

And stuff zinc down the poor kid's throat every couple hours!

I had the same question when we started down this path because of my

own Sulpha drug allergy. I was worried about handling the chelators.

(it hasn't been a problem) This is a good post on the subject

,

Have you tried L-glutamine? That is said to be the best for a leaky gut?

I also just read an article where they said that zinc picolinate was the best

most absorbable zinc.

You could chelate with Ala, alone. No zinc problems with it, easy on the kids

and sometimes people find their kids guts do not get better until after they

chelate. Just a thought.

Thanks so much! I was hoping this would be the case!

My experience was that after 6 months of SCD, enzymes, various

gut-healing supps and antifungals and antbacterials my son's gut was

getting worse and he was reacting to every single thing he ate. The

folks here gave me a shove to try a few rounds and he started

improving the very first round.

Andy says it's the metals that are keeping the gut messed up and the

only way to fix it is to chelate -- and that turned out to be true IME.

Have you tested for food allergies? Probiotics? Antibiotics may be part of the

problem.
