Re: 1st round of chelation with DMSA, now Croup

[Guest guest]

> I've been on this list for quite some time and decided to start chelation last

weekend with DMSA 5 mg. My son is 50 pounds but I wanted to start him out on a

small dose because he usually sensitive to most supplements. Things went well

over the weekend except the night dosing was a bit tough. He is hard to wake up

and gets grumpy, so this was a long struggle. Anyways, we completed the first

round with not much of any side effects. He's had a mild cough for the last 2

weeks since he had a cold. Yesterday he woke up with a more barking sound cough.

Does this just sound coincidental or do you think that the DMSA might of stirred

something up? I have an appointment with our natural chiropath tomorrow but

wondering if I should see a pediatrician today?

A cough following an illness meant yeast in the lungs here. And if it increased

with chelation, I would definitely consider increasing the yeast protocol.

Since he is getting sicker, it seems, I would skip this round until the illness

goes away. I would also stick with 5 mgs for a couple of rounds and then jump up

to 7.5mgs.

I'm not thinking the DMSA has anything to do with the increased coughing, but

maybe others think otherwise. This is the season for illnesses.

Try using oil of oregano (North American Herb and Spice makes a very small wild

OoO gel cap) to keep your son free from long term colds. I do not get colds

when I take that stuff daily. I used to ALWAYS get colds; several per season

that would just drag on and on. Sambucol is nice, too; elderberry extract.

My nt 7 year old got the barking cough right before Christmas. He was

retracting, which I hadn't seen in years. I thought for sure pneumonia. We

went in to see our ped and she said his lungs sounded good, everything was up

more in his throat. Anyway....we hit the " old " asthma meds known to work for

him, and badly needed. We did flovent for support and albuterol (some generic

other name) and we pulled through with no other needs. No terrible fever, think

just viral myself and ped thought so. I'm in Wi.

Try cold air, even ice cubes in water, or heat/shower, lots of vit c, d. Lasted

about 4-5 days before all done. He did well back on the old asthma meds.

Good luck.

[ ] 1st round of chelation with DMSA, now Croup

Hello everyone,

I've been on this list for quite some time and decided to start chelation last

weekend with DMSA 5 mg. My son is 50 pounds but I wanted to start him out on a

small dose because he usually sensitive to most supplements. Things went well

over the weekend except the night dosing was a bit tough. He is hard to wake up

and gets grumpy, so this was a long struggle. Anyways, we completed the first

round with not much of any side effects. He's had a mild cough for the last 2

Does this just sound coincidental or do you think that the DMSA might of stirred

something up? I have an appointment with our natural chiropath tomorrow but

wondering if I should see a pediatrician today?

Also thought about continuing this weekend with a higher dose of DMSA but now

I'm not so sure. I appreciate all your advice.

Thanks,

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'll put off chelation for another week

and try some natural yeast fighters to see if that helps.
