Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 ----- Original Message ----- From: rathmanmom Hi All, I'm hoping to chelate my very sensitive 2 1/2 year old son this summer. At a bio med support group, I just met a woman who chelated her son with DMSA at 2 1/2 (he is now 8), his face swelled up and both her and her husband were chelating as well and her husband swelled up and they all felt very crummy and sick. ====>This is very rare, never happens with Ala. This woman explained to me that her son is an " over methalor " (sorry about all the mis spellings) and chelation just wasn't a possibility for her son at all. She said that if my son is mostly intolerant to food but not affected by environmental toxins, then my son may have this issue as well. ====>Not true, as I understand it SJS is a rare, extreme allergy to a drug, nothing to do with methylation. She put her son on Amy Yaskos protocol for the last 2 years and he is doing great and that is where most of his gains have been. ====>Has she been able to get him off the 100+ supplements he needed? We chelated because we did not want to have to give a plethera of supplements all the time and worry that she would decompose if she didn't get a dose of this or that. To me, noone can tell for absolute certainty what is happening to our kids until they have completed puberty and are still okay. Doing great with supplements is wonderful, doing great without them, even better and IMHO, much, much preferred.===> This story really bothered me, I was up most the night thinking about it because chelation has been a big hope for me to help my son. Do you have any thoughts? ====>Yes, don't worry about things that haven't happened, I do this also :-). Plan A, chelate with Dmsa/Ala, Plan B, chelate with just Ala, no SJS problems with Ala. By very sensitive, I mean my son can't tolerate supps outside of enzymes and does not tolerate most food. He's got lots of language, tells us what he wants but can be a big time stimmer and scripter. ====>He should do well with chelation. The only bio med I have been able to do with him are homeopathy, enzymes, diet and diflucan. Dani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 , You are a joy! Thank you for your generous and thoughtful response! I'm saving it in my archives to go over again this summer. dani- -- In , " " <Ladyshrink111@...> wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: rathmanmom > > > Hi All, > I'm hoping to chelate my very sensitive 2 1/2 year old son this summer.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Dani, Diflucan was harder on my son than DMSA. We have done 7 rounds and the only negatives can be the day or 2 after a round is over (grumpiness, irritability) Everyone on this board kept telling me once you get started it isn't so frightening.....I was still very unsure. I understand how it feels to want to do the safest, gentlest treatments possible. I must tell you....chelation is easier than yeast treatments at my house. When we still saw a DAN my son was on Diflucan, Prednisone, Spironolactone, and Glutithione cream. Now he takes no prescriptions and everything is done with naturals (well, except DMSA). Make sure you ask all the questions you need to feel comfortable. Now, after only 7 rounds it has become like second nature and I've lost that panicky feeling I had the first 2 rounds. I wish you all the very best. Maggie rathmanmom <dani@...> wrote: Hi All, I'm hoping to chelate my very sensitive 2 1/2 year old son this summer.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Dani, If this were my child I would go and see an EAV practitioner and have everything tested first before giving him anything. Far too often people take unnecessary and even toxic supplements. It was through EAV that we finally found out what was wrong with us and medical tests backed it up. Your son may benefit from NAET treatments if you have someone good in your area but I would only use a NAET practitioner by referral since they are not all equal. www.naet.com for more info. We got rid of our environmental illness with this and were able to tolerate just about anything after 15 treatments. Healthy bacteria will create enzymes in the bowels. Have you tried him on any probiotics? Again, probiotics are not all created equal and we tried dozens of brands including prescription ones before finding something that worked for us. Most of them are dead by the time they hit the stomach let alone the bowel and sometimes there are strains of bacteria missing that need to be replaced before the gut can get back to normal. The bowels and kidneys need to be functioning optimally to do chelation so getting the bacteria balanced first or simultaneously is crucial for sensitive kids. Our kidneys and livers were too damaged for chelation therapy and the doctor wouldn't do it on us for fear of organ damage. We finally got totally well after using NCD and that in a matter of days. Probably all the other treatments kept us alive and our bodies were primed by the time we got on the NCD. A year later I had my organs tested and everything is above average now for healthiness. No signs of damage at all. My daughter was born with kidney damage and after a week on NCD stopped her life-long bedwetting and migraines disappeared never to return. One parent theorized that headbanging is caused by severe pain due to inflammation of the brain from mercury. His son also got much better and stopped headbanging after a while on high dosages of NCD. Sharon Hoehner > > Hi All, > I'm hoping to chelate my very sensitive 2 1/2 year old son this summer.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 >>had s > Syndrom (Spelling?). This is a possibility with almost every medication, altho some are more likely to cause it than others. Go to google images and type that in the search box, you will see lots of scary pictures. You can't miss it. If you notice that with your child, stop the medication immediately. I am unaware of ALA causing this. > This story really bothered me, I was up most the night thinking about it because chelation > has been a big hope for me to help my son. > Do you have any thoughts? > By very sensitive, I mean my son can't tolerate supps outside of enzymes and does not > tolerate most food. My son tolerated no foods and almost no supplements [i used HNI enzymes only]. I chelated him with ALA. At round 50, he started tolerating foods and supplements without enzymes. At the end of chelation, plus several supplements, he tolerated everything. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 My sister has had SJS once or twice. She is allergic to sulfur. At least one of those times, she was put on a sulfa drug (by some jerk doctor -- it was in her medical record that she is allergic to sulfur). My best understanding is that it is a severe, life- threatening allergic reaction, though I don't know if it is specifically an allergic reaction to a drug. It has a high death rate (something like one in three people die from it) but, yes, it's pretty rare. Not an expert. Just someone whose sister has had this.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Allergies to sulfa drugs and sulfur are two different things. We have huge family history of allergy to sulfa drugs, but someone would be seriously in trouble if they were allergic to sulfur as sulfur is in just about every protein.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well, it runs in my family. My sons and I had to give up eggs for over a year because of it. I often have to limit high sulfur foods because I react allergically to them -- itching, blotchy skin, etc. And one of the times my sister nearly died was due to sulfur in the air from coal plants, if I recall correctly. She was also on medication because the sulfur in the air was making her so sick. So I don't know which was " the cause " of SJS that time. It was many years ago and Idon't know all the details. But thanks for the feedback. > > > > ====>Not true, as I understand it SJS is a rare, extreme allergy > to a drug, nothing to do with methylation. > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think Yasko actually explains this... it's something like... maybe - I'm really unsure... allergic to sulfur = allergic to sulfa but allergic to sulfa doesn't necessarily mean allergic to sulfur... it has to do with the transulfuration pathway I think and sulfur, sulfites, sulfates... they're all different even though they sound the same... perhaps someone else can chime in and tell us what they know?
