For Andy RE: chelating highly oxidized kids

[Guest guest]

Andy,

I was seeing a DAN! for a while until I diagreed with her approach. She wanted

to wait to chelate my 4 year old ASD son and I felt it was because she wanted

money from me for as long as possible ($3000 just in December alone). Anyways,

she did do the standard super testing that DAN's do and it came back that my son

was under oxidative stress. (which is caused by metals, correct?)

I was planning on chelating with your DMSA/ALA protocol and began my son on

the recommended supps. Well, he had a reaction to the milk thistle...probably

because of the high oxylate levels, so I disontinued it. Now, I am a bit leary

of using DMSA without using some kind of liver support. I did begin the first

round of chelation with ALA this weekend at a low dose every 3 hours and my

question is this: Will ALA provide enough liver support to make milk thistle

uneccessary?

His DDI hair test met one of the counting rules as well as high levels of

arsenic, aluminum, and uranium as well as cadmium. His lead was in the high part

of the green. As I understand it, nothing chelates aluminum (I just have to

restrict exposure) and I've never seen anything about chelating uranium....so

the mercury and arsenic are my main concerns. Should I just stick with the ALA?

Or will it provide enough liver support to be able to add DMSA. (I wouldn't be

so gung-ho for the DMSA if he didn't have such high levels of these other

toxins). Is there other liver supporters that are not to high in oxalates?

I appreciate your time.

Andy has said in the past that DMSA is safe for the liver if used

properly (i.e. according to his protocol). His prior posts on the

effect of DMSA on the liver and his suggestions for liver support are

here:

Some people tolerate DMSA better than ALA and vice versa. You won't

know until you try each separately.
