ALA Reaction - please help

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

Well, I was the one attempting to give advice to folks a couple weeks ago about

ALA, and here I am in desperate need of some guidance.

 

My son is very sensitive to phenols so is on a very restrictive diet, multiple

supplements, and we have done 30 rounds of DMSA (up to 25mg now).  We tried ALA

several months ago (5mg) and he went into a regression, but I believe it was

actually a strep infection.  Either way I decided to use DMSA only for a few

more months before we tried again. 

 

Well, this past weekend we reached that point and we did DMSA 25mg/ALA 5mg every

three hours -- I stopped the ALA after 2 days b/c of hyper behaviors and red

cheeks, but continued on with DMSA only for the 3rd day.  I guess he was OK in

school on Monday b/c I didn't hear anything, but yesterday he was pushing kids

and spit in a little girls eye.  Last night he was kind of OK, but this morning

he is completely out of control.  I'm actually debating on keeping him home from

school b/c it's so bad.  I ordered 1mg capsules of ALA to use this weekend, but

the reaction is so severe I'm thinking I'll hold off until his winter break in

February and is out of school.  In the meantime I'm trying to get us through

this....

 

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?  It's just so frustrating b/c I

want him to be able to move forward with the ALA b/c I know that's the only

thing that's going to finally help heal his sulfation/phenol issues.

 

Thanks so much!
