new to the group - need to get copper down so that we can try ALA

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

My name is . I am new to this group. I have a 4.9 YO boy with

autism. He regressed at around 18 mo. He was on 6 mo of antibiotics

(between 15 - 21 mo) for misdiagnosed TB. Needless to say, this did a

number on his gut. He was vaccinated until age 3 when he was DX'd.

We have been chelating with oral DMPS since the end of Sep (high in

mercury, nickel , tin & tungsten), but I want to do ALA with DMPS. The

problem is, he is extremely high in copper. He has been on zinc and

molybdenum, but his metals test showed he was high on all 3 - copper,

moly and zinc. I am confused because I thought zinc and moly were

antagonistic to copper. Are there other supplements I could try to get

the copper down? Currently he is doing DMPS, NCD, MB12 shots, a myriad

of vitas, minerals and supps such as probiotics, CLO, Ketoifen to heal

gut inflammation and Nystatin among other things. He is GFCFSF and is

on a rotation diet.

Thanks,
