Re: please contact me if you have done continuous ALA chelation

[Guest guest]

From what I read in Andy's books, it's not recomended to do prolonged

chelation. the body needs time to heal and recover in between. Also,

if using dmsa you could create some deficiencies in minerals, and

lower immune function, actually creating a problem with your

neutrophils dropping too low. DMSA can cause low neutrophils in some

individuals anyway, but using it for weeks on end....probably not a

good idea. That is why you don't hear of anyone doing continuous

chelation with it. You will be subject to colds, viruses etc as your

neutrophils drop. This can be correct but requires that you stop using

dmsa for a period of time.

I can't advise on long term ala. I do feel better when I use it also,

and feel sluggish and cruddy in between rounds, but this is par for

the course. I am too tired to continue getting up at night.

Are you on any endocrine support? Adrenal stuff, thyroid stuff? I

found melatonin essential for dealing with not sleeping at night,

which is an adrenal and a mercury problem. Also, for some reason..dmsa

seems to mess up my sleep and I need the melatonin for a few days post

round.

You can do rounds a bit longer than three days. We have done four days

rounds periodically due to what you describe....a hard time coming off

rounds. Some people I have talked to do four or five days, but then

stop for 11.

--- I would love to do continuous chelation! I get off round symptoms

and they were so bad last time that I had to go back on round after

just a day and a half due to the intolerable headache. I felt better

almost immediately, stayed on round for 5 days and this time the off

round symptoms have been fine.

Trouble for me is that my two children are also chelating and can only

do the weekends when they are not at school. So if I were to do longer

rounds all the time I would be off sync with them and yet still having

to get up at night even when I am not on round myself (if you

understand what I mean!) I can only really chelate at the same times

as them.

Also, unfortunately with DMSA or ALA the night time wakenings would

eventually be a problem. I would ideally like to do continous

chelation with the DMPS as this would eliminate the off round

symptomsI find that longer rounds are much better for me but I cannot

get hold of DMPS.

I am interested to see what other people are doing to solve the

problems of off round symptoms.
