Re: DMSA challenge indicates low metals - still chelate?

[Guest guest]

Doing the 8 hourly challenge test is a bad idea, it can potentially cause

more damage.

Follow the AC protocol, low dose and every 4 hourly day and night. Go to the

'File' Section and read AC protocol.

My son's urine test also showed nothing much was coming out, but his

behaviour improved. You should use his behaviour as a gauge rather than

relying too much on urine test. It's the little that come out (within

range) over a period of time that really helps in the recovery process.

Chelation following the AC protocol is not expensive. You only need a few

supplements ie Zn, Mg, vit. C and E (and sometime vit plus the chelators

(dmsa or/and ala) to get started.

Go to moria's site and search for 'chelation on a budget'

hope this helps

Thanks, Priscilla - that's exactly the type of answer I was looking for. What do

you mean by 'in range'?

For urine challenge test, the DAN would give high dose dmsa (or other

chelators) to 'challenge' the metals to come out..I didn't use the high dose

prescribed as it would be hard on the body.

So when I use the dosage following AC protocol ie starting dose of 1/8mg

dmsa per lb of body weight, all i got from the urine results is 'within

range'..meaning, no elevated metals were coming out, some were coming out

but within the 'normal range'. My DAN then concluded that 'nothing much' was

coming out...he suggested to increase the dose which I refused knowing what

harm it can cause.

However, after that weekend, i noted improvement to my son's behaviour..so I

continued to chelate following the AC protocol and not bothered with any

further testing...week after week i noticed improvement to my child (we have

done 9 rounds) which matters more than what a test report say.

Go thro' the AC protocol in the file section and follow the protocol

properly, don't be pressured by your DAN to do any further challenge or

testing, you will be fine.
