Re: First time posting/ DHLA Nano-plex

[Guest guest]

Kim, Heidi,

I cannot agree more with Heidi's statement below. I generally do not like a

blend of different dietary supplements, as it is difficult to evaluate what

actually works. When a bad reaction occurs, it is hard to tell what causes

it. Plus, it limits the freedom to play around with the dosage of

individual ingredients. I am passionate towards biomed interventions to

recover our kids, but conservative in choosing appropriate supplements.

DHLA is not totally new to the market. Life Extension has a similar product

called " R " -Dihydro-Lipoic Acid

(http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00683.html). I think you might be

able to get Andy Cutler to comment on DHLA Nano-plex, if you post your query

on " Autism-Mercury " group. There is a large number of parents who are

believers, experts of lipoic acid in that group. I would be curious to

learn about their comments as well as Cutler's. In the past Cutler

commented that R-ALA (the pure, natural form of lipoic acid) is of marketing

hype and does not work better than ALA, which consists of the R " natural "

and S " synthetic " form in a 50/50 ratio. I could not believe in this

comment, as I am a big fan of the naturals and believe that our body

recognizes and utilizes the natural nutrients better than the synthetic

ones. I used R-ALA to replace ALA in my chelation mix and run 3 UTMs over

the course of two months. I found that Cutler was right. The level of my

son's metal excretion in urine was just about the same, when using R-ALA.

ALA and R-ALA make no difference at least from the prespective of metal

chelation. I am now back to use ALA again, because it is cheaper.

DHLA Nano-plex is not a 100% natural product as claimed, because it contains

some S form (synthetic) lipoic acid. It does look very interesting from

this product info:

http://www.healthproductsusa.net/30nano-dhlainfo_health.htm. It seemingly

sounds promising. However, I would be cautious as most of the studies cited

for the health benefits quoted there are done on ALA as powerful antioxidant

not on DHLA. There are also online reports of DHLA acting as a pro-oxidant

under certain circumstances. I feel that more studies are needed to

understand DHLA's chemical action and if there is any are potential

side-effect.

Heidi and Limin: Thank you so much for your honest opinions of this

product. I agree with you both, especially about being very

conservative about supplements I use for my son - and I LOVE the

history and testimonials to back up the decision before giving it to

my son. I am very leery of the " sales and marketing " people out

there that claim to have the magic ingredient or magic supplement.

I bought into that concept when we first started biomed - and

learned the hardway that there is NO magic supplement. How I wish

there was! I have bags full of " Stuff " that didnt work, both

reputable and " magical " .

Sometimes I feel a little desparate - desparate enough to believe

what I read, such as the info on the DHLA Nano Plex. I dont feel

that I have done enough to help my son (I am not as aggressively

treating him as others do), because even though I want recovery, I

am so afraid of the negative side effects that sometimes cause

regression. Unfortunately, the time keeps ticking away, and now my

son is 8 years old and still the same. I am envious of those

parents who really jump into biomed and see those improvements. I

have never jumped into anything - I am way too cautious. That is

why I love the fact that parents can describe to people on these

groups what they are doing, how their kids responded, and it is

actual accounts of what happened - not some sales person talking.

Thanks again - I wish you all the best!
