Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 as long as lead is not a huge problem. Just note that some times kids do better on both, as dmsa can alleviate the effects of ALA. Your child might do fine on just ALA. Try it and see before using the dmsa. As long as you are dosing correctly it can't hurt to try it. There are two places you can order dmsa from. VRP is very reliable, I have had no trouble with them and they ship quickly. Should you get to that. > > Hi There! > > Can I start using ALA with my daughter, prior to DMSA? I have seen ALA at just about every vitamin shop, but am aware that DMSA is only available through one online site (or you need to go through your DAN). I will be speaking with my DAN in two weeks, but am anxious to start chelating. My daughter is on a ton of supplements, but we haven't started officially chelating. Please advise as to whether it is acceptable to begin with ALA and then later add DMSA.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Thank you Jan! VRP was the only site I had seen and wanted to ensure it was reputable before I placed an order.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Hi, I really wanted to try ALA on my kids but I've read that you have to make sure that you have already eliminated the yeast before using it. I'm now treating my sons with different yeast product I'm trying to rotate them, and I stopped all the other supplements while treating their yeast I've seen positive result with my other son, but not so much with the other. But how can you tell if they are already yeast free? Their eye contact really improved when I used glutathione on them and I've read before on previous post that glutathione can actually help eliminate mercury. I'm wondering if using ALA will have greater positive result. But then I've read that it has some possible risks because it's the only chelation product that actually crosses the brain. If so, what are the possible risks? If I am to use the topical creams first, would it be as effective as other chelation product and what are the possible side effects? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metals moving thru the body will tend to increase yeast. So it seems pointless to me to try to entirely eliminate a yeast overgrowth problem. My opinion is that you should get yeast " reasonably under control " , know what works for your child to keep it that way, then start chelating. >>I'm now treating my sons with different yeast product I'm trying > to rotate them, What worked best at my house was biotin, Candidase, and GSE. >> But how can you tell if they are already yeast > free?

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 http://onibasu.com/wiki/Cutler_protocol The best info i have ever found is at this website, it is Andy Cutler's protocol. You can buy the book, but it is like $40+. This website is packed with info on dosage by weight and how often. It aslo tells you how to test..i think it is stool testing with ALA. There are also other recomendations like testing copper firsts, as an eample. If your going to use ALA....this site is a must!! Good luck!
