keratosis on face fixed by ALA?

[Guest guest]

Hello, all...

I have been giving my son Alpha Lipoic Acid as a chelator (we are doing Andy

Cutler Protocol), and I've noticed that both rounds I've done have caused the

bumps and redness on his cheeks to clear up! The first round we did ALA only,

and this round we've added DMSA.

I'm desperate to find out if this is pointing to a supplement need/metabolic

defect (sorta via the Yasko protocol) that he might have. The ALA we are using

also has Rosemary leaf in it. His Kreb's Cycle is all jacked up...possibly due

to high Arabinose (yeast!), possibly due to heavy metals, or maybe just inborn

errors....but I know his metabolic cycle does not look good.

Do any of you know whether the ALA w/Rosemary might be correcting one of the

cycles (ie., methylation, etc.), from which we might figure out which cycle he's

having problems with? I always wonder when I'm giving him foods with oxalates,

salycilates (sp?), etc...whether he should really be getting those foods.

Thanks for ANY info you can figure out from this!

Hey there! I just responded to you on the other board, but wanted to be sure you knew that Rosemary is a NF-kB inhibitor.Sent from my iPhone
