Re: Re: DMSA round - should be concerned with these symptoms?

[Guest guest]

I don't know what other parents here might say but I would stop the round and

start again next weekend if he is better. I stop if the fever gets higher than

101.

symptoms?

Good point... He's running a fever of 102.6... should I still keep going? We

were suggested to start on lower than 5 mg because we did a very high dose of

ALA (by mistake) on round 1 and needed to really step down to let his body

recover.

I know we should not " play " with doses during a round. So we'll finish this one

at 2.5 and see if we can do 5 mg next time.

So, fever or not - keep going?

Thank you

a very large dose that I was giving my 40 lbs son) he did ok on the round. We

you, board!) that it was a heavy redistribution because of a large dose we were

giving him.

He was ok yesterday and through the night. Now, he looks like a child with a

cold - very lethargic, laying on a sofa and only wants books read to him...

stuffy nose... no fever though...

,

" Much of an effect " ? Actually, 2.5mg will have 1/sqrt(2) x the effect of

5mg. As in about 71%.

You can seriously doubt all you want. I myself seriously doubt you have

any competence or business giving advice here on chelation.

Fever = stop.

And please, for the sake of your child, do not listen to anything

Best says.

Stick to 2.5 mg for at least 6 rounds. Then go to 5mg if there are no

more AFTER-round symptoms.

As in none. This is how one speaks English: " expertise " and " experience "

are two different words that have different meaning. You may have

experience chelating one child. But not having the technical knowledge

qualifies as " zero expertise " .

You start with a 25 mg cap and use a milligram scale. This has been

posted at least three times in the last few days. As I am about as

interested in spoon-feeding you information as you are willing to

provide it to others here, surely you can do the research yourself?

Not interested in " having it out " . Interested in preventing

mis-information from being propagated on this list. Done. End of story. Bye.
