Andy & Others - Advice to give friend starting AC protocol

[Guest guest]

I don't know if I should be posting this here or on FDC, but it concerns an

adult and a child.

A friend sent me to the AC protocol a year and a half ago. She never followed

her own advice. Her child is 7, and she has been all kinds of biomed for over

five years. Her son has lymes, she had lymes while breast feeding, he is on

antibiotics, yeast control, enzymes, probiotics, I think she is doing the SCD

diet with him. He is a fairly severe case of autism. She has given him a lot

of Yasko supps, EDTA, Pectasol, NDF, even once chelated him on the DAN

protocol, you name it, so I am sure it has made his metal issues worse over the

years. I went over to her house. She has seen and learned of the great progress

my son has made on the AC protocol. She has the DMSA in hand. She has a copy

of AI - she says she is ready to try the AC way. She has fallen on hard

financial times and her family life is in disarray. I tried to give her a thumb

nail sketch of the protocol. She wanted to know what supps she absolutely needs

to chelate, I told her zinc, some kind of multi mineral, vitamins A, C,D, E.

Some fish oil/efa supps. She has all of these or will have them on board soon.

She is going to continue probiotics, enzymes antifungals etc. She also gives her

son B12 and a B complex. I told her milk thistle is key. He is also very high

copper - so I pointed out the copper protocol to her. I told her to lock up her

Yasko and other supps, and disregard them. Did I miss anything? Also, she asked

me if it is " too late " for her son. I said no, I do not think so. It is still

possible for her to bring him back isn't it? It is not too late after 6? I

wanted to give her hope, but not unrealistic hope. She is nervous to wake him

up at night, because he just started sleeping through the night. I told her the

night doses are non negotiable, and in my experience actually easier than waking

doses.

As to herself, she had lymes, and it sounds like adrenal and hormonal stuff

going on - she wants to chelate with her son. A month ago some holistic doc

gave her a " high dose challenge " with dmsa. She said it was ok. However, she

complains now of extreme depression and anxiety etc. Is this likely a result of

the challenge? Doc wants to put her on antidepressants now. She wants to know

if she should go on them and if she can chelate while on them. I told her the

depression now may be a result of the challenge. I encouraged her to increase

her intake of antioxidants. What else can she do? I told her no more

challenges ever for herself or her son, ever. I told her not to chelate herself

until she recovers from the challenge and checks out her adrenals. I gave her a

bottle of ACE for herself (and her son too - who she says has lots of meltdowns)

If she takes the antidepressants, can she chelate while on them? I advised her

to do a saliva test first too before starting chelation.

Anyway, I did not know what to tell her about the antidepressants and the

chelation or her son's prognosis for recovery. I want her to have hope and to

do things right, but I don't want her to have unrealistic expectations.

Andy and others, if you have any insight, I would appreciate it, so I can pass

it on to her. If it weren't for her, my son would not be on the road to

recovery, I want to help her, and return the favor. I am forever grateful to

her.
