Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 It may be too soon to add ala for your son. Some people do not tolerate it until many rounds of dmsa or dmps have been done. Also, AlA can raise copper, and can add to a yeast problem. Is he on Molybdenum to control copper during chelation? I found ALA gave me terrible headaches no matter how low the dose was. So I am only using dmsa now. This was quit a common complaint on adult chelation boards..that people could not handle the ala until they had 40 or more rounds with other chelators. Glut and NAC are not needed anyway for chelation. I would go back to chelation without the ala to see if the headbanging stops. Yes, ala is needed but at some point..for some of us..that is way later than others. Are his adrenals supported? The sensitivity to light and dialated eyes are an adrenal fatigue symptoms...chelation can stress the adrenals and he may need support during chelation. Is yeast under control? This is another cause for this to happen on a round. Increase probiotics and yeast protocol. > > We recently added TD-ALA to our TD-DMPS 3on/4off protocol -- every 3 > hours.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 What's his copper level? What else is in the TD-ALA? When was his most recent new exposure (vaccine, etc). S S <p>We recently added TD-ALA to our TD-DMPS 3on/4off protocol -- every 3<br> hours. When we initially added the TD-ALA, he got very hyper, lots of<br> visual and verbal stimming and some head-banging, so we lowered the<br> dose. Mikey's plasma cysteine is at the high end of the range. <br> Therefore, we do not supplement glutathione or NAC. I did suspect<br> that he might have some problems with ALA as well. I do know that ALA<br> is necessary for chelation and I do not want to take him off of it. <br> We have lowered the ALA dose to practially nothing and his headbanging<br> is getting out of control. We have also noticed dilated eyes and<br> sensitivity to bright lights.<br> <br> I'm wondering if he might be mobilizing some metals in his brain and<br> not actually excreting. We have not yet done any fecal metals test.<br> <br> Also, is there something else we should be doing with ALA to alleviate<br> some of the symptoms?

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Oral ALA is available without glutathione, I don't know about TD, but I don't know why not. S S <p>We have been dealing with yeast for awhile -- nystatin, diflucan,<br> nizoral, gse. We don't quite have it under control. His copper has<br> been brought back to balance. We were on TD-DMPS for about 10 months<br> prior to adding TD-ALA. We get the TD-ALA from Coastal -- there is<br> glutathione in it which he does have trouble with -- can it be<br> compounded without glutathione? We had mercury into the red on his<br> urine tests for awhile and it has now tapered off. <br> <br> His last vaccine was 2 years ago. We did the prophryn urine test in<br> November and it showed him to be pretty severely mercury toxic<br> (possibly lead too).<br> <br> We tried ALA for 4 rounds -- after each round, he has had improvement<br> in speech and cognitive function as well as eye contact (he is 3 1/2<br> years old). He is even playing with other kids. Yet he headbangs the<br> wall and the floor quite a bit, even after the rounds are done. He<br> does seem to have bad headaches and stomach aches too.<br> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!

Give him a break from chelating until you determine what is the cause, and eliminate this problem. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glutathione tends to cause yeast, same as ALA. Definitely consider increasing the yeast protocol. >>He > does seem to have bad headaches and stomach aches too. Yeast in the head/brain can cause this. I have experienced this personally. It is a major nasty headache. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
