Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hi Becky, Welcome to the list. Comments interspersed. S S Hi everyone, I posted a question about chelating with ALA alone on another board and several people recommended that I post the question on this board. We are having our son tested for heavy metals with a urine porphyrin test and I am educating myself about options for chelation. I am trying to determine what chelation approach would be effective while minimizing risks. Could you please let me know if you have tried ALA alone and whether you had problems or positive results? I did ALA alone (I'm mainly dealing with mercury and arsenic) for a while and have done some rounds with both ALA and DMSA (because my lead level is higher than I'd like it to be). Also, if you think it would be more beneficial to use DMSA and ALA at the same time rather than ALA alone, could you let me know why? It depends upon which metals your son is dealing with. ALA chelates mercury (from body and brain) and arsenic. DMSA chelates mercury (from body) and lead. If he has had recent known exposure (vaccines or dental amalgam removal) you'll need to either start with DMSA or wait 3 months to start ALA). Please read the FAQs of this list for dose and dosing schedule info. Thanks for your help!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 >>Could you please let me know if you have tried ALA > alone and whether you had problems or positive results? I chelated all four of my kids with ALA. I am currently chelating myself with ALA. The only negative I experienced with my kids was yeast overgrowth, which I kept under control with GSE [primarily], biotin, and Candidase enzyme. For myself, I have had yeast issues, and also mineral deficiency issues. I take a daily mineral supplement which is helping that issue. Also, if you > think it would be more beneficial to use DMSA and ALA at the same time > rather than ALA alone, could you let me know why? I never used DMSA, I was not comfortable with the potential risks and side effects. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I want to start my son on ALA. Any recommendations on a good brand? How many mg's? I'm already giving him GSE, should I be giving him the biotin and Candidase enzyme that you mentioned as well? If so, what brand is good for those? Would it at all be harmful to also give him a mineral supplement, just in case there is a mineral deficiency? If so, how can I tell if he has a mineral deficiency?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Janeen, Mgs depends upon how much your son weighs. 1/8-1/2 mgs per lb, every 3 hours during the day, every 4 hours at night for at least 3 days and nights on (2.6 days if he's in school full time. Have you done a hair elements test? What did it show? I presume he has NO mercury amalgam dental fillings?! I want to start my son on ALA. Any recommendations on a good brand? How many mg's? I'm already giving him GSE, should I be giving him the biotin and Candidase enzyme that you mentioned as well? If so, what brand is good for those?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 > > I want to start my son on ALA. Any recommendations on a good brand? I have used Kirkman and Natural Factors brands. >>How many mg's? Start with low dose. On this message list, most people recommend 1/8-1/4 mg per pound. I started my kids with 25mg. >>I'm already giving him GSE, should I be giving him the biotin and Candidase enzyme that you mentioned as well? If so, what brand is good for those? I " accidentally " discovered that those two things reduced my son's requirement for GSE, so I would recommend you at least consider them. Candidase is by Enzymedica. I use Henry's brand of biotin. Check labels for additives and other filler ingredients. Try to use a product without many additives. > Would it at all be harmful to also give him a mineral supplement, just in case there is a mineral deficiency? If so, how can I tell if he has a mineral deficiency? ALA will pull minerals, so unless your child is mineral toxic [mine was, but it is not common], you will need to give a mineral supplement. It would only be harmful if your child was mineral toxic. I learned that for my son, giving any mineral supplement caused him to be wildly hyper and lose what little mental focus he had. Giving a demineralizer [iP6] caused nice improvements. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 We haven't done any testing on him, but I'm convinced that he is in need of detox. I have just found out about liquid zeolite and this seems like a safer and easier alternative to ALA. The info on it says that there isn't any need to supplement minerals because it doesn't chelate minerals only metals. Also you can start slow by only giving one drop a day and lower the dose by dilluting it with water if needed. Any thoughts on this? And no, he doesn't have any fillings.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Janeen, It may be helpful to run a DDI hair elements test for your son. This can answer some questions about minerals. If you run another one in six months, you'll be able to see if your child is excreting metals too. It also provides a lot of other good information. You can order the hair elements test yourself through DirectLabs http://www.directlabs.com/ and get a discount right now for autism month. I have also found the Metametrix ION panel to be enormously helpful and I wish I would have run one the very first day I started down this road. A number of parents are seeing good stuff with the zeolites, but it is debatable whether or not the zeolites will actually chelate metals (the good results could be any number of things or some sort of combination). The thing is for most of our kids, the metals are buried deep inside organs like the brain and liver, or, in the case of lead, inside the bones, constantly poisoning the body. As a parent, I would want evidence that my child was consistantly excreting some decent level of metals while using the NCD and I wouldn't rely on the manufacturer's claims alone. Best wishes, Anita > > We haven't done any testing on him, but I'm convinced that he is in need of detox.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks Anita, I thought that mercury wouldn't show up in hair tests because it is so deeply in the brain/body? Unless the mercury poisoning was a large amount and recent. Am I misunderstanding something?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Actually, Janeen, you're right. The mercury won't show up unless your child is already excreting it. If your child is, then that is information you can use too. But if your child shows none coming out, that is also information you can use. You can also apply Andy's counting rules to see about toxicity. Also, once you are chelating, you should be seeing toxic metals in the hair. For example, my son's tests now show lead, mercury, aluminum, antimony, etc all in the red. This looks horrifying when you first see it, but then you calm down and realize that this is actually good--you want the poisons coming out. I test once every 6 months (more often is generally not helpful) and I find them extremely helpful for many reasons. They are pretty cheap and not traumatic for kids. Andy's books really help to understand all the information you can get from these tests, but some people on this list are very good at intrepreting them too. I hope that might help :-) Anita > > > > > > We haven't done any testing on him, but I'm convinced that he is > in > > need of detox.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Also I am thinking Andy has said that hair tests are not a good way to track excretion of metals. Sometimes the excretion shows up in hair test and sometimes it doesn't. It did here and as Anita reported it did for her but I have known others whose children recovered who never saw it in their child's repeated hair tests. And I know of several cases where the child's mercury was wildly in the red without corresponding improvements. This past weekend my dgd was reading me the story of " The Seven Blind Mice " and it occured to me that this is the reason it is sometimes so hard to have conversations about anything having to do with Autism. Just like the mice who were positioned at different areas of the elephant all saw and reported that the elephant was a different thing, so it is for Autism. Autism, to us, looks totally different here than it does for someone else who is looking at it through their child. Probably very bad analogy but thought I'd share it. [ ] Re: ALA alone?

It really doesn't make sense to me that we cannot track excretion through the hair, at least for the majority of our kids, during chelation. I know that if the hair test meets the counting rules then you cannot trust the toxic elements to be very accurate, but still wouldn't you see trends of excretion, especially as hair tests normalize? Or does Andy mean that you might be excreting through your hair, but that doesn't mean you're excreting via urine and bm's? I'm confused by this.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Equally confused here, Anita, but I tend to try to think of a hair test as giving more insight into what has been mobilized rather than what has been excreted. Might be wrong, or just might be more conservative, but it does seem possible to me that you can show it in the hair and not be doing a good job getting it out, really out. That said, we have seen almost no mercury in my son's hair, despite 50 rounds AC style.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Also confused, Anita. I don't think any explanation was offered to my recollection but know that he has said on more than one occassion that serial hair tests are not useful for this purpose followed by his directive that the best indication is the behavior/improvement of the child/person. Maybe something will come to me if I think about it for awhile. [ ] Re: ALA alone? > > Also I am thinking Andy has said that hair tests are not a good way to track excretion of metals.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 They're described in the FAQs of this list and in Andy's hairtesting book. Basically, mercury rarely shows up as high on the hair test of a person with chronic mercury toxicity, instead it causes disordered mineral transport. Andy Cutler, PhD chemist, mercury poisoning survivor, author, developed the counting rules to help determine if the minerals (essential elements like calcium, zinc, potassium, etc) on a DDI hair elements test are disordered enough to indicate a high probability of mercury toxicity. S S I have read about counting rules a few times, but I am not sure what they are. Where can I find out more?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 For one thing hardly anyone tests the hair every month or two months and what you are sending is just an inch so just the last two months. It's possible someone could have wildly excreted a lot of metals the months you don't test. Am I making any sense? I have also heard this on the adult list that they don't necessarily see wild elevations of mercury despite their improvement and ultimate recovery. If we put that together with 's post maybe a positive hair test is indicative of metal excretion but a negative hair test is not necessarily indicative of no metal excretion? Isn't this just like a urine or fecal metal test? [ ] Re: ALA alone?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 A question just occured to me Anne. Have you seen mercury in your son's UTMs by any chance? As I said in my other response to this thread, knowing that I've seen the metals in the more expensive and harder to do UTMs and UFMs I have put some stock into the hair test results. But, if I wasn't seeing that, then I'm not sure how much I would value the hair test results because I agree: seeing it come out of the hair doesn't mean necessarily that it would be coming out of the urine and feces. But, I also think that seeing improvements doesn't necessarily mean that the metals are coming out either, so relying on that alone would make me nervous too. Does that make sense?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 ----- Original Message ----- From: Anita But, I also think that seeing improvements doesn't necessarily mean that the metals are coming out either, so relying on that alone would make me nervous too. <<<I have heard Dr. McCandless say that she has had kids recover without ever seeing anything at all metal wise being excreted. Course that doesn't mean the metals weren't being excreted just that they never caught them. It can be difficult to catch them. And it's true especially in the beginning that you can get improvements just from the higher cysteine value of the chelators...I'm pretty sure that is what was happening here. Thinking the value of improvements would give some assurance you were pointing yourself in the right direction. Having said all that it's also true that yeast or gut problems can mask any kind of improvement and you're right in thinking there is a great connection between what is going on with the gut and the brain. I'm a great believer in the majority of cases that the mother knows best what is going on and what needs to be done. Does that make sense?
