We went to transdermal DMPS and ALA to get

around the cooperation issue, and used Alabama-

based Wellness Pharmacy prepares them. The TD

DMPS seemed to have a dramatic effect before we

hit the plateau, so I think it can happen using trans-

dermal chelation. Also it turns out after you've used

DMPS for a while (a couple months) you can do ALA

without as many side effects or symptoms, which

was our experience. We're going to go back to

oral ALA because there is a good-tasting liquid

made by Life Solutions. My daughter really likes the

flavor, which is a far cry from trying to feed her

sorbet with it at night- freezing cold and semi-solid,

which was a horrible experience ending in her

screaming and being wide awake, yet refusing to

eat it. Also since it's a liquid we can drop it in her

mouth with a dropper, and as you know even very

low doses are supposed to work, so I think we can

try again given this new agent. By the way, I tested

this liquid ALA myself on myself as a sole oral

chelator for months and I think it worked, although

subtly.

The 8 hour schedule if you're really stuck with it would

be best served by just sticking with DMPS and then

you're doing it Cutler-style, and the transdermals can

be an alternative for ALA that is a piece of cake because

all you do is spread it on your child.
