Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yeah don't do it. Why Andy Cutler Protocol? What is the AC Protocol? " AC protocol " or " Andy's protocol " was formulated by Dr. Hall Cutler. It is different from what most doctors do in that it considers the actual chemistry of the substances (chelators) that we use. For example, Tylenol has a half life of approximately 4 hours in the body. We know that, so we don't expect it to work for a headache we have now if we took it once last week. We know we would need another dose because the body has used it up or disposed of it. We also know that the dose of Tylenol to use would be different for a small child or person compared to a large adult. These are simple examples of pharmacology. In basic pharmacology the use of chemical substances is based upon body size and how long the substances last in the body. Most medications are dosed this way. With chelation, for some reason, most doctors have been ignoring the basic principles of pharmacology. With AC chelation we use the chelators based upon how long they last in the body and dose them by weight. Other protocols use large doses and give them haphazardly, for example giving a child 500mg of DMSA once a day. This would free up relatively large quantities of metals and mobilize them, but then whatever metals are not immediately excreted would redeposit in the body (redistribution). There would not be subsequent chelator available to pick up and keep these metals moving out of the body. Using such a high dose is taxing because of the large quantities of redistributed metals and will make side effects intolerable. Every time there is significant redistribution of metals the metals are doing more harm to the body. Using the chelators infrequently will make the person sicker over time. Most protocols use a one size fits all dosing and do not consider the timing of the medication (how long it lasts). If it is not dosed by weight and used on the correct timing over and over, it allows a lot of mercury to be moved around and redistributed to storage in the body and will cause further damage. This is why many people get sick with typical chelation. Andy has found a way to avoid this and to make people better with chelation. The chelators are dosed in intervals based on the half life of the chelator (3 hrs for ALA, 4 hrs for DMSA, 8 hrs for DMPS). The chelators are dosed by weight starting at 1/8 mg per pound and very gradually increased over time to a maximum of 1/2mg/ pound. Andy's protocol is based upon using the pharmacology of these substances to keep a steady blood level of the chelator throughout a round. This keeps mercury from going back into the brain, which happens on other protocols. Other protocols use large dose of chelator and give them infrequently. This allows metals to be pulled free and then left to redistribute in the body. Essentially, the person is being re-poisoned each time a dose of chelator is taken at an interval longer than the half life. Andy has seen people get sicker over time from doing this. He recovered himself, his girl friend, and his girlfriend's child using his protocol. He found that you can eliminate risks and seriously reduce side effects by using the chelators on these principles. The most important principle is to reduce the number of times the body has to go through the redistribution process in order to get well and remove all the metals. As a result, using low doses, giving the doses at the half life, and giving them on a steady schedule for three days and two nights, does that. And yes, doses are taken at night. This really is not as difficult as it sounds and is worth the hassle to avoid metals moving around and making one sicker. Parents have many tips on doing this protocol to make it easier on you and your child. As Andy explains…it's following the laws of chemistry. Andy's chelation protocol has been shown to improve the health of many mercury poisoned people and in many cases provide a cure. The success of his protocol is documented in the A-M archives, in his own files of case reports and in the files of his colleagues. Andy is in the process of writing several books that will include many case reports. Some case reports can be found in his " Hair Test Interpretation " book (see links at the end of this article). Taken from the New User Welcome File for written by me. This details how to do safe chelation and why. Everyone wants some easy pill for this, but there isn't one. If there were, after four years I'd have found it. Peat Moss is not a chelator. What it is, is a waste of money. It is not a sulfur thiol compound and it is not going to remove mercury from your kids brain. Jan > > Hi, > Anyone with experience with this product for heavy metal chelation.
