Re: ? - every other night DMSA supps/ALA

[Guest guest]

I think you would be much better off dropping the 1000mg DMSA

suppository and start on the low/frequent dose Cutler protocol.

You current high dose infrequent protocol may cause heavy metals

redistribution problems, cellular damage and even regression.

Thank you for your concern but we are being monitored very closely by

a team of physicians and lab work.

I would really just like to know if it is possible to add an ALA

protocol to our existing chelation protocol.

I would be really leery of starting ALA on the DMSA protocol you are

currently using. ALA opens the blood brain barrier. From what I

understand after the research I have done, using DMSA in the manner you

are is mobilizing mercury in a way that adding ALA will allow it to

redoposit in the brain, which could have serious negative effects. Lab

test of what type? Often times lab tests and physicians aren't really

that helpful in determining mercury toxicity or mobilization. Are you

seeing any gains with DMSA protocol currently in place? If so, then

continue that while you research more thoroughly the use of ALA so that

you can make an informed decision about adding it. I'm happy that you

feel comfortable with your current protocol, but were it me, ALA would

be a definite no no for any of my children with the current DMSA

suppository routine.

Our main physician treating for this is Dr. Mark Geier. He is very

knowledgable and very thorough.

Would it be possible for Dr. Cutler to weigh in on this? The theory

that DMSA alone will not remove mercury from the brain is very, very

troubling to us.

We are limited in that our treatments/services are paid for and have

to be approved by Medicaid.

In reading the Cutler protocol, I became interested in adding ALA

because it does not require an rx. I was wondering if I could give

ALA every 4 hours following a DMSA suppository, for 24 hours, or

longer. We give vitamin and mineral supplementation 24 hours

following the suppositories.

Hi,

You are right to investigate this yourself and not rely totally on the dr, no

matter how knowledgeable, most drs do not know how to do chelation properly.

There are many studies that show Dmsa does not remove metals from the cns/brain.

Andy Cutler would not recommend the dosing this dr recommended as this large of

a dose of chelator given this INfrequently would likely cause redistribution and

further damage to your child.

Read the files on the list page of this list to find out why large/infrequent

doses of chelators will likely cause children to become worse/more autistic.

The protocol Andy recommends is 1/8-1/4 mg per lb of Ala or Dmsa/Ala every 3

hours during the day and every 4 at night to minimize redistribution. It is the

protocol we recovered our little on and it works.

Again, kuddos to you for doing your homework, just a little more to do.

Thank you.

We are limited to what we can do because of Medicaid and a lack of

extra money.

I did read the files and I would like to know how to add ALA to this

protocol. I don't want to assume and do it wrong. But I desperately

want to also eliminate mercury from the brain.

We have seen improvements and I am curious about future UPPAs.

OT, PT, and speech therapies are a fraction of what they were in

2006. There are no private therapies whatsoever anymore. We have

never been able to afford ABA and the school has refused to provide

it. We have a attorney working on that for us at a reduced fee

schedule.

Please read the files (particularly read the parts about why it's important to

order Andy's book and educate yourself before you proceed with this protocol.

Thank you again.

We haven't gotten worse on the 1000 mg DMSA suppositories every other

night, as I stated in my previous post. We have gotten better.

Like many parents, we have spent thousands of hours researching and

we have every confidence in Dr. Geier or we would not have entrusted

our child's recovery to him. I don't know of a single mercury

poisoned person (or any person for that matter) who has had negative

effects from his therapies.

From what I read in the files on this site, DMSA and DMPS are used

with ALA for chelation.

What I would like to know, preferably from Dr. Cutler or from someone

who is on the same chelation protocol we are on, is how I can add ALA

to the current protocol.

Hi all! I just want to say our experience with our son. We started

with Andy's protocol for more than 6 months and saw GREAT gains.

However, as a family we could not do it any longer as my son is such

a light sleeper and waking him up in the middle of the night, even

sitting up in his bed quietly, woke him up for the rest of the day.

Add a newborn and a toddler was disastrous as his verbal stims and

turning on all the lights in all the rooms in the house was like

punishment. My husband and I could not function.

We heard about Dr. Cave's protocol and read her books about vaccine

schedules. After our visit to Louisiana, we started 500mg of DMSA

once a week and my son is doing beautifully!!! I was soooo

apprehensive because I have read all of the previous comments and

experiences of other parents, but I needed to do something that fit

better with our family dynamic.

My son, who is completely nonverbal since a few weeks after getting

the equivalent of eight shots at once (4 shots-2 w/3 in one),

said " go! " and is now appropriately saying a distinguishable " open "

for a bag of chips. Furthermore, he is more aware of his surroundings

and is actually afraid of running in the street because of cars!!!!

This is a child who used to be on a leash in public!

Therefore, this is just my piece. I am sure that many will disagree

with me based on previous posts and experiences, but I truly believe

that you have to do what you can with what you can.

Hope this helps...

Stop it immediately.

No matter how the chelator gets in, it has to be adequately frequent.

Suppositories have no advantage over oral administration and unless there is a

reason oral

administration is IMPOSSIBLE, I suggest doing it that way to avoid the

psychological trauma

of getting a suppository put in every 4 hours, day and night.

Hi. The waking every 3-4 hours is also a concern, after years of not

sleeping prior to these therapies, but I am terrified of mercury

being trapped in the brain.

Congratulations on the progress your family is experiencing!

It is our understanding that the GI tract destroys half of the oral

DMSA. I read on Autism Web that oral DMSA also causes horrific yeast

infections.

I am not concerned about the DMSA protocol we are on, I just want to

know how to add ALA to it. I have heard that Dr. Cutler is the

expert on this and that is why I came to this board for the answer.

I am not a doctor and I am in no position to judge the protocols

other parents choose for their children. I just want to know the

best way to add ALA to our protocol. I'm sorry if my previous posts

were in any way unclear.

Thanks.

All due respect to Mark, but he has no idea how to dose these drugs. All

drugs, and you can find this in any basic pharmaceutical text, should be dose

on the half life. You ignore that at your peril if you are using substances

that move around neurotoxic metals.

>Would it be possible for Dr. Cutler to weigh in on this? The theory

This is not a theory. This is data.

>We are limited in that our treatments/services are paid for and have

The cost of chelating is basically nil, and everything but DMPS (which you

dont' need) is over the counter.

>In reading the Cutler protocol, I became interested in adding ALA

because it does not require an rx.

And, it's the only thing you need. Furthermore, it's close to free. Stop the

DMSA, restart on an oral protocol after you learn how to use it right, and add

in the ALA if you want.

>I was wondering if I could give

I would prefer to hear that from him. That's why I'm here. No

offense. Our child is an adult and is used to rectal meds,

especially Diastat for seizures, and glycerin to help with BMs prior

to us learning about increasing vitamin C to alleviate constipation.

The suppositories are tolerated well, the labs are normal, there has

been improvement - no signs of discomfort, so we are not worried

about the dose or the administration. We just want to add ALA.

Not unusual - then the nervous system becomes damaged beyond repair. All you

have to do is take a look at what happens to adults who do IV protocols. Just

search on this list using Onibasu.Com.

>Like many parents, we have spent thousands of hours researching and

You are going to have to entrust your child's recovery to yourself. If you are

reading Andy's book, then you should be clear that (1) less chelator is safer

than more and (2) dosing half as much, twice as often, is safer. On this case

I'll add (3) dosing less is safer.

>I don't know of a single mercury poisoned person (or any person for that

matter) who has had negative effects from his therapies.

I know of hundreds who have had negative effects from just this kind of

protocol, and you can find thousands on the web. You can find them here and on

Frequent-Dose-Chelation.

>From what I read in the files on this site, DMSA and DMPS are used

We are chelating effectively and properly. We just wanted to add

ALA. But I think I am understanding that you are saying don't add

ALA to this DMSA protocol. Right?

That's what I wanted to know.

- I'm glad this worked. Sometimes, people do IVs and they work - but too

often they don't, and it often doesn't happen until they have done it for a

while. That is the issue.

Now, why did you choose to use 500mg?? Why didn't you do a lower dose, since

that would obviously be safer, and why didn't you do it say 3 times a day if

doing it 6 times was really not possible? Clearly, doing it more often would

be safer.

You want to try magnesium for the constipation.

No one here is going to help you to use ALA. If you continue on this dangerous

path you are on your own.

I don't have any respect for clinicians, pediatricians or pediatric

doctors who won't educate themselves about mercury poisoning. There

are some doctors who have taken the time to educate themselves about

this and their patients, and thankfully our doctors fit into this

group.

Miralax, magnesium, and everything else we tried over the years did

not help with the constipation. Vitamin C, however, worked very well

within one week.

Dr. Culter has been very generous and respectful of my inquiries and

I am grateful to him for his time and for his efforts in helping all

of our children.

Thanks.
