ALA Dosing Question

[Guest guest]

We've made it to round 6 with ALA for my son, he's 50lbs. and 5 yrs. old, we

started with 10mg. every 3 hours 3 days a round and 4 days off, to be specific

72 hrs. on starting every Tuesday at 8am, well after 2 rounds didn't want to

quite double it so since we're splitting 100mg capsules just went from 10

divisions to 6, not sure if the imperfections doing at home should be a major

concern, but anyway back to the question, should we go up until we see a

problem, probably not, so can anyone tell me a good weight ratio or like that to

let us know there's no need to go up. I figured after this last 3 rounds at

about 16.4 mg. per dose that we ought to go up to 20 or 25 mg. I believe about a

year and 1/2 ago I read that would be the stop for a 50lb. child, that you do

1/2mg per pound. To ease anyone's concerns I'll just go ahead and add some of

our story. We were diagnosed with a problem when he turned 2, didn't at all

understand the problem till he was 3,

started GFCF, wen't rough but worth it it seemed, added the slew of recomended

supps all the way down to the most recommended supp companies, did even 4 rounds

of ALA, we saw lots of positive results, went from no eye contact, constant

stimming, and no words, to occasional, eye contact, lots of babbling and actual

reciting clear words at first only from songs which I include the alphabet and

counting because it's repetative enough in shows, like songs, then to actual

recognition speech I guess I'd call it, where you prompt with a toy or a flash

card say it and he'd say it back, although we saw this and his special preK saw

still felt no support from rest of family, specifically Grandparents that are

still needed to this day, due to not just extra love but free daycare, slowly

but surely chipping away at whether or not he needed all this to get better, we

falter and then completely, thank GOD for just months sending him back to right

where he was at 3

yrs. old, and the celeb. McCarthy going very public, I actually read her

book in 4 hrs. got grandma on the band wagon completely. I had restarted the

diet just before watching her on Oprah. it's actually not been that long now

that I think about it and he's already back to saying the pledge of alliegance

at the begining of class again in school, which he had started doing and then

stopped. I pray for those months to not have set him back to much, it hurts to

see how much good it does and know that we wasted any time. Well, sorry I turned

my Question into so much more, but please and thank you again, for all the

insight that hundreds of parents can bring.

Nope, lots of us do it this way. It's fine.

not, so can anyone tell me a good weight ratio or like that to let us

Yes, 1/2 mg per pound is the max for a child. I would not increase.

You have done just a few rounds at 1/3 mg per pound (16.4 mg) and

from what you say below you have seen good progress. Always good to

stick with what works. If it stops doing anything, then you can

consider an increase, but you're doing great right where you are!

To ease anyone's concerns I'll just go ahead and add some of our

Very nice! Good progress for 6 rounds :-)

It always takes time to decide what to do. Better to think it

through and do your research than to dive in too fast. You did great!

Thank you for posting your wonderful story!
