Something I've been wondering about. I've been giving the same advice

to parents about their kids -- they'll know if it's working maybe

during the first round, but to give it at least 10 rounds and then

reassess. But in my own case, I felt nothing from chelation until many

many rounds had gone by. At one point I increased from 70 mgs ALA to

100 mgs, and got side effects, and thought whew! finally I know

something is going on.

My hair test met the counting rules so I wasn't doubting that I was

toxic. What I'm wondering about is how good a trial of chelation might

be for adults who seem to be quite toxic but at the same time not very

sensitive -- in the downregulated group.

What does it mean to be in the " downregulated group " ? Can you

explain or is there something in Cutler's book that describes this?
