advice on rash re: chelation

[Guest guest]

Hi all, quick question - we've been having some rotten side effects

with DMSA - and finished round 6 on Sunday - even now though perky,

his cheeks are very flushed and he's come up in a mottled rash all

the way up one arm.

Any ideas - viral?

Cheers, Elaine

>>Amy Yasko says DMSA in antiviral I think. How much does your child weigh? I think I remember you saying 25mg per dose, if you are only on round 6 then you got pretty high pretty quick unless he is a big boy. Sam had lots of rashes but he gets those with yeast flare/die off/GSE and boy oh boy did we have yeast!!

I'd be inclined to give him an extra week off and do another round at half the dose you are using now. Doubling the amount of chelator does not double the amount pulled, I always forget how to explain it, maybe Anita or or Rene can recall.

PS So what side effects other than pale/tired and rash?

I don't know how to explain it either Mandi, just know the standard rule is if you get any side effects, drop the dose down.

The standard dosing for Dmsa should be 1/8 to 1/2 mg per lb, hope you can convert. No more than that is recommended.

At the most we only ever gave our 50 lber at the end was 10 mgs of Dmsa, and she had trouble with that. We had to stop once and get her neutrophils back up. So at the end we were only giving her 5 mgs of Dmsa.

Yes, good advice from Mandi, skip a week, give lots of minerals, particularly magnesium and zinc. Takes a long time whether you give a lot of this stuff or just a mite. They might as well be very comfortable.

I have been reading a lot on cortisol.....It stimulates the

metallothionein,, the molecule which removes heavy metals form the body.

I think the trick is to get this mechanism up and running again (quite a

few studies I have read point to adrenal problems in our kids, no

surprise there!!) and then DMSA would become moot. Cortisol is good in

short bouts but over production leads to problems. I cannot get my head

around what exactly long term cortisol production does in terms of

affecting the biochemistry. My thinking is if we can normalize the

cortisol angle then the metallothionein will do its proper

work....Vitamin C is critical to normalizing adrenal function.

Weird, he's still got it - and looking at pictures it definitely looks like a measles rash - school are going to freak!!Maybe I went too high too soon - I'll keep an eye and drop the dose, thanks,Elaine I don't know how to explain it either Mandi, just know the standard rule is if you get any side effects, drop the dose down.   The standard dosing for Dmsa should be 1/8 to 1/2 mg per lb, hope you can convert.
