Update/calling all chelation experts

[Guest guest]

Group,

Recently I posted about our little one, 6.5, chelated for 2.5 years on

low/frequent Andy's dosing, who developed this odd movement/tic.

We did discover through her having a night time accident that we were dealing

with some ineffective magnesium. She never has had a night time accident since

being potty trained at 2 years " except " if her magnesium is low. I was surprised

as we were giving her plenty but switching to new magnesium cut this odd

movement/tic nearly down to nothing so I can only assume we were chelating with

a low amount of magnesium.

It will still occur when she is super excited and is much finer now, not

surprising given she is now getting some magnesium, among other things like more

clo and E and zinc. But, because it is still occuring I have to consider that

this is some kind of motor neuron problem caused by chelation and is therefore,

redistribution. I'm at a loss to figure out how this could have happened as we

have been very careful to only dose according to Andy's protocol. I do know that

motor neuron problems are sometimes encountered by people on Dmsa, particularly

if the protocol is not followed. I'm also certain that Ala could cause motor

neuron problems.

Again, she has no dx, is relatively happy, (although we have noticed some

increased anxiety, mostly at night before bed time about things like her parents

or me dying or is she going to know any kids in her class the upcoming year,

etc.) appears otherwise healthy, eats and sleeps well, plays well with other

kids, attends social situations and has good cognitive processess. To this end,

I offer that she does attempt to hide this movement from others and believe me,

as a psychologist I know that any 6 year old who knows that this movement is not

a good thing to do in front of others..... is pretty savvy. An autistic child

would never understand this, a lot of NT 6 year olds would not get this. I

don't want to make her more self conscious about this than she already is.

In Andy's book he mentions that the only cure for bad chelation is proper

chelation. In attempting to figure out what to do about this we are considering

giving her oral dmps at very, very low doses on a 4-6 hour protocol as suggested

in Amalgam Illness. I need to ask the other, more experienced people on this if

this seems like a wise course of action. Honestly, I'm afraid to use dmsa/ala

anymore until we figure out just exactly what happened.

Truthfully, we are afraid to give her anything but are concerned that if this is

fresh redistribution it could cause more damage if we leave it alone then if we

try some low dose dmps. Also, Andy mentions in his book that if someone has a

fast Phase I it could make certain classes of drugs more toxic. She is not

chemically sensitive indicating a fast Phase I and slow II, but her anxiety

makes me wonder if she is not fast Phase I. She is on Armour, 1 grain, her pulse

appears normal and she also takes Diflucan for yeast, with no apparent problems.

We have also recently given her some Robitussin for a cough she had, again no

problem with that. Anyone know what class of drugs Andy is referring to with

relation to fast Phase I?

Anyway, I wanted to get some other opinions about our possible tx idea and see

if anyone could offer an explanation of what we are seeing here. I posted here

from the beginning as the A-M list is at present, mostly comprised of new people

and some old people who think most things are due to yeast problems. I see

little likelihood of being offered any reliable help there and need the

assistance of people who have more experience.

I appreciate your attention,
