ALA dosing and ALA as ingredient in a lot of supplements...questions. :)

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have what might seem to be a stupid question. But, I am really wondering about

something.

It seems they put ALA in a lot of combination supplements.

We were doing our " yearly " have to visit with our dr. in LA . He found out I was

chelating two of my girls with the Cutler Protocol...I don't think he knows what

I am talking about. he also found out I was treating yeast. SO, then he gives me

these two supplements.

The first one is called " heavy Metal Detox " These are the ingredients:

One serving is four capsules.

dmsa.....100mg

edta........300mg

chlorella ..300mg

alliin ......6,000mcg

n-acetyl cysteine...200mg

alpa lipoic acid...100mg

oh..cilantro...300mg.

he says to take 2-4 capsule twice daily.

What do you think? After reading Cutlers information this seems

dangerous.

Also..an Anti-yeast forumla

it has all the stuff like oregano powder/garlic powder/gse/olive leaf/ milk

thistle/uva ursi.....all that good stuff for yeast.....THEN they add 50 mg ALA.

take 2-6 per day.

So, I am wondering, if you are supposed to be so careful to take ala every 3

hours, starting with a low dose, what do these type of supplements do? Is it bad

to take these?

I am just curious how careful one has to be.

I know I had to drop my daughter down to 10mg dmps every 6 hours. And I will not

go continuous anymore...one week on, one week off..I am hoping she will tolerate

this....after a few months I will add the ALA.

Just curious what people think.

Thanks,

Carol

My son, 6yo with ASD is chelating using the AC protocal for about 14 <br>

His blood tests constantly show low glutathione levels. After reading <br>

numerous posts by Andy Cutler -- I don't follow if Andy's advice. <br>

Supplement with glutathione or not?<br>

<br>

My understanding is that oral glutathione is not effective. <br>

<br>

My questions:<br>

<br>

Should I supplement with glutathione? <br>

If so, what type -- cream? IV? Patch?<br>

<br>

Thanking everyone in advance.<br>

Yes, these supplements are bad and dangerous and they do hurt

people. Not only the excessive and infrequent doses of ALA,

but also the cilantro, chlorella, EDTA, etc.

Many practitioners do not have the knowledge or experience to

realize the harm they are doing. They think they know what

they are doing, and they may be well-intentioned, but they

do not understand.

I learned this the hard way by taking excessive doses of ALA

a few times before I knew any better. It caused serious

emotional issues, worsened adrenal problems, stomach problems.

You need to carefully read the labels of any supplements you

buy to be sure they do not contain ALA, or any of the other

harmful ingredients mentioned above. Another common supplement

containing ALA are those little packets of Emergen-C - they

should not be used.

Not a stupid question, a valid, important one. Run the other way and get rid of

these supplements. The doses and combination of ingredients are outrageous.

They will make things worse. It is dangerous to use them. Your doctor knows

nothing about safe chelation and should stay out of it. If he charged you for

the supplements get your money back. Is this the doc who vaccinated your kids?
