Hi ,

OK, I just got the ALA and am getting ready to start chelation with

my son. He has been doing DMPS chelation for 3 months and will soon

be using ALA and DMPS at the same time. Before starting, I want find

out about side effects, etc.

1) My son has always had gut issues and we had major constipation at

the beginning of oral DMPS which was cured with high dose vita c and

more aggressive yeast treatment. Can I expect more yeast with ALA?

<<<We got more yeast with dmsa than with Ala, other kids had different

experiences, regardless make sure you have a good yeast protocol.

2) I've heard that our kids can smell sulfury with chelation. I

haven't had that with DMPS, but if it happens with ALA, any advice on

how to keep the smell down?

<<<There is not a sulfury smell associated with the use of oral Ala.

3) Is it OK to use trandermal RLA at night and use ALA during the

day? I haven't been able to find transdermal ALA.

<<<No, you can't mix them due to inconsistent absorption rates. RLA is not

recommended at all either during the day or night, just use oral Ala found in

any hfs.

4) Is there a way to make a transdermal ALA solution myself? This is

probably wishful thinking, but I had to ask...

6) How will I know when we are done with ALA chelation?

<<<Normal course of chelation is improvement for a few months, then 6-9 months

of a stall where not much seems to be happening, or even a worsening, then more

improvements. You chelate until there are no side effects " on " the chelators

when you use them at the maximum dose of 1/2 mg per lb, past the original stall

period. If you quit at the stall or worsening period, they often lose

improvements.

Normal time if there is one is about 2 years, yes 2.

Thanks in advance for your reply/advice,
