Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I think it's a good question and you're not the only one who has had to consider medication. I don't know the answer but look forward to hearing other's replies. I also think Andy's Amalgam book mentions a lot of meds and you may find helpful info there. My opinion, as long as you are still working the biomedical, you do what you have to do, in order to get through it. Some people don't realize how bad it can get, they just haven't been there yet. For us 25mg ALA every 3 hours, every other weekend is REALLY helping. We just finished round #6. I also noticed that the Taurine has helped with anxiety unlike any other supplement we have used.

No reason he should be miserable or fall behind while chelation is going on - you can use other pills to suppress symptoms until they're gone. >We are at about round #125 with DMSA/ALA (spread out over nearly 5 yrs; long story) and I plan to continue chelating. > > Learning is pretty compromised this year.

Have you tried tyrosine, phenylalanine, forskolin and caffeine yet? > > Thanks so much. This decision isn't final and it has been really hard for me, so please don't criticize what I am doing!

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Andy, I believe I tried Tyrosine last year without any changes. I have not tried anything else. What will phenylalanine do? My only experience with that is watching family members with PKU avoid it (paternal grandfather not a carrier so we are clear). Thanks. Pam > > > > > > Learning is pretty compromised this year.
