Re: getting ready to chelate

[Guest guest]

I'm almost ready to chelate one child, myself and possibly my other children

later on. I am a bit apprehensive just because of the unknown. Has anyone

on the list ever had any bad, irreversible effects from chelating that

required hospitalization. I guess I'm asking for responsed from anyone that

has had serious adverse effects. I will feel better knowing that most folks

who chelate do it safely. Thanks. N.

Liz,

The ALA I give in a very small amount of liquid, he can general drink

it with one sip of a straw. I got him used to that so I can do the same at

night. I've heard tons of other approaches on here so I'm sure someone will

come up with something that works for you.

As far as reluctant support from the other half, I am ashamed to say this,

but my other half doesn't know I'm chelating . He thinks its all vitamin

supplements. My husband would take 2 years reading stuff, not be able to

make up his mind and then finally say " do what you want, that's what you're

gonna do anyway " and he's right. So I'm doing this basically with no support

other than this board.

I supplement and give him enzymes every day,even during chelation.

I'm new at this though and if I'm doing it wrong someone jump in and let me

know too.

Selenium (only 50mcg) and magnesium)

4. My husband is halfway on board with this. Anyone do it with

Thanks in advance. Let's get that metal OUT OF THERE.

That sounds like a great idea. We are with you all the way.

Use a syringe type or dropper with a juice or a suspension liquid

ex. (Ora-sweet)

And give a one stop shopping approach………. 1 & 2 spppppt…. And

done.

Stay consistent and keep demand on if it becomes a debate.

If you do have resistance, run trials with just juice or a

preferable drink before they trust the syringe method.

This method had been very effective for us with all dosing we have

done for 4 years now.

Besides it is very consistent and there is never a guess as to how

much they are getting .

Good luck hope you do well with implementing a transition.

High copper is much less common than mercury toxicity, but, as

I see you know, high copper means ALA should be used carefully.

I don't think you HAVE TO worry about copper. It is not really

likely that it is a problem. Another option is to start chelating

AND do a hair test AT THE SAME TIME.

here is a collection of ideas:

http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_buy_DMSA.html

Look toward bottom of page for headings such as

ideas for giving kids stuff, night doses. Also stuff about

teaching kids to swallow and other ideas. Try various

things and see what will work for you and your kid.

I don't think you should stop.

yes, keep going, and add to this list.

See section on SUPPLEMENTS, read items about chelation supps.

Kerrie, you and I are really cut from the same cloth. I was thinking

about doing it and not telling my husband either. He would read

about it for 2 years, think it over for another year and then say, go

ahead and do it!

I didn't. I used ALA only, without a hair test. I gave zinc for a

week or so before the ALA, then added the ALA. I did not have any

problems doing it this way.

I mixed it into peanut butter and honey.

I gave HNI enzyems all the way until round 50. Then my kids no longer

needed enzymes =)

And

> do I keep his supplement schedule going? (basically B2, B12, C,

I would keep everything you are now doing. Consider adding a yeast

protocol. Yeast was the only negative side effect I had while using ALA.

I had " reluctant support " , until my husband saw the results. Then I

had " really nice support " .
