Ricky,

I just had our latest appointment with our DAN! and he recommended Nano Cell Q

($37.75 at his office) because it was more bioavailable. We have just started

using it for a couple of days but it happens to be liquid and orange flavored so

I thought I would mention it.

Hope that helps!

with andy's light, i'm trying to figure out what happened to my brain when i was

taking glutatione and acetyl-l-carnitine (ignoring the harm of glutathione could

have) and ALA for few doses. all that at same time almost killed me... and then

got a severe yeast infection... i'm wondering if it's something equivalent or

even worse, of a dental filling removal.

anyway a big step back.

from this experience i can say that carnitine works really well because after i

add it to my long list of supplements, the regress was ten time worse.

that's why i'm in a dilemma for what to use for next round. ALA too risky, DMPS

too hard for my liver,maybe osr? for it binds firmly mercury?

i'd like very much if Andy or someone knowledgeable give me their opinions. i

know it's very complexe but your opinions are helpful references.

thanks in advance.

Anyone know? How much acetyl-l-carnitine should I give my 3 year old? I have 250

mg capsules.

Thanks,

My son did better with l-carnitine. I started with 250mg and worked up. The

most he needed was 3000mg 3x per day. From what I have read, it appears most

kids need 1000mg per day.

I don't know if it is a chelator. I don't think so but someone hear more

knowledgeable would know. I just know that I put my son on this when he was

very young, and I give a lot of credit to ALC for helping to bring our son

back to us.

There was a study done by UC Berkley, and according to this study, the

result of using ALC on a consistent basis were pretty astonishing. they fed

ALC to very old mice, and over time, the very old mice started acting like

middle-aged mice instead. Then the researchers added in a combination of

ALC and ALA, and the very old mice who had started acting like middle-aged

mice began to act like very young mice again! The research wound up

becoming a supplement called Juvenon. Their theory is that ALC and ALA both

have the propensity to repair cells on the mitochondrial level.

However one should be very cautious about ALA as it can cross the BBB and it

is a powerful chelator. I took Juvenon once, and I felt terrible! Then I

started reading on this site and realized I should stay away from ALA until

I can get the rest of my amalgams out. No one with amalgam filling should

take ALA.

Now, the ALC I take along with my son, and if I am consistent about it, then

I feel better and have more energy. I am a true believer in ALC.

Do not take Juvenon if you have amalgams, and I would ask Dana or ANDY or

someone with more experience than I to look at this supplement and see if

the ratios of ALC and ALA are right. Also, from what I have learned here,

if you are taking too much ALA and you are not taking small doses every

three hours, then you may just wind up with more mercury in your brain. So

ALA is nothing to fool around with. Be careful with that one.

I am not knowledgeable aobut taking oral glutathione, though we tried this

in our son and did not see any improvement. I think I read that this is not

a good idea. Read Andy's book and follow the protocol. I would say this is

the safest, most effective way to feel better. If you have amalgams, you

must get them out and wait a while before beginning to chelate.

All three of those will tend to increase yeast, as you noticed. You may have

had yeast in several areas of your body [and at my house we have even had yeast

in the head/brain], which caused your severe symptoms.

Dana,

So ALC increases yeast? That I did not know! I think my son has received

great benefit from this, so provided we have a good yeast protocol in place,

can we continue using it?

It is an aminoacid. Aminoacids are basic for well-being and on itself, amazing

stuff, but when given w the incorrect combinations/dosages, they can also cause

harm. I recommend you read the book " achieving victory over a toxic world " by

Mark Schauss, he gives very good basis to understanding aminos. I have also

realized that Mark shows great affinity to AC's protocol and its creator, as a

matter of fact, the only chelation method he recommends is AC's.

Mys on has been on various yeast protocols over the years. We cut out

sugar, though he does get some Xylotol. He has been on ketoconazole and

nystantin and some other prescription ones, too. ONce when his lung issues

just weren't getting better I suggested that it was fungal to the doctor and

he prescribed an anti-fungal which cleared up his lungs.

We have been using nystantin again for a while. I know I have read here

about GSE and OLE. Which ones? My son weighs about 135 pounds. I want to

get this in place ASAP. What do I use and how do I start? How long after

instituting a good yeast protocol may I begin the AC Protocol using ALA

only. My son has issues with DMPS and DMSA due to sulpha.

Kara,

We've had good success with it here. My son responded positively to it.

There is research out of Berkley that it helps repair cells at the

mitochondrial level and this ability was even higher when pared with ALA. I

found it interesting. I know if I remember to take it twice a day (250 mg

each) I have increased energy. I always remember my son's supps but forget

most of my own!

ALC has always been one we chose to keep giving. We buy ours from Kirkman's

or from Whole Foods. My son has been on it since age three. He is eleven

now. He has improved a lot over the years and regained speech.
