Re: Response to Shiri and other Chelation questions---HELP!

[Guest guest]

Google " loss of pigment zinc " and " loss of pigment Vitamin B " to learn

about pigment issues. Also, there are other reasons.

Love and prayers,

is very low dose and higher frequency. After reading alot about DAN protocol and

some of the side effects of doing a higher dose protocol I decided it was better

to go low and slow than cause possible irreversible damage that some parents

have reported with high doses. For example, my son gets 10 mg of DMSA orally

every 4 hours, including at night. Dan protocol would give him 150 mg every 8

hours. That dose is 15x of what I give, and b/c DAN protocol is less frequent it

can cause redistribution. The AC protocol also does not recommend TD dmsa b/c

supposedly dmsa is not very stable as a cream and I think it has to do something

with it oxidizing. I have heard of DMPS or ALA being more reliable as a TD

cream. I would go on the Autism-Mercury group and read up on that protocol, I

truly beleive it is the safest way to chelate our kids. My Dan was on board to

do AC after some convincing, but not many are.

put off chelation for 2 years doing everything else, b/c we were so afraid to

start. I can tell you it is the biggest improvement we have seen so far and I

wish we would have started sooner!

we get rashes I take pics and email them to my DAN's nurse b/c it can be a

number of things. We get rashes from yeast (but not blotchy like you describe)

and we've had viral rashes when on antivirals. We have not had rashes from

chelation, but we are doing oral so don't know if transdermal can cause it.
