[Guest guest]

JB,

Sorry no one on AM got back to you...I guess that's cause I was not

online...hee, hee...Usually I reply back quickly but I was sick for a

few days.

We use dmsa/ala on Andy's for my 5 yr old and 12 yr. We began when he

was 3 and did/dose not swallow caps either. You can mix the stuff into

a small amount of food or liquid that he will take. Then be sure to

follow it with a lot of water. We give my son a water bottle to glugg

down as much as feels the need to after his dose. This way no ala is

left in the mouth. Ala is the one that can irritate their mouth. For

my son, we began using a tiny bit of juice in a medicine syringe for

him to suck up. As he got a bit older and hated the " smelly juice " we

switched to miniature peanut butter cups. I split them in half, put

the powder on the pb and put the top back on. He chews those up. You

will have to find what will work for him the best. Some kids do find

with the bit of juice. Just don't mix it into too much liquid or he

won't finish it.

Since it is virtually impossible to measure 3.5 mg you can go to 5 mg

safely and start there. Divide up the 25mg ones from VRP. Open the cap

on a small plate, divide the powder into five piles. Then you have

five of his doses. It's a bit of mixing and tinkering, but you get

used to it. I found it easiest to pre-divide the whole round up and

put them in empty capsules..then a zippy bag. That way at dose time

all I have to do is take out once cap, open it, sprinkle the powder on

whatever he's going to eat it on..and done!

I don't advise that you premix a bunch of juice and keep it in the

fridge..it will taste nasty after a while. You want to mix right

before giving. Make sure that the juice is cold to dull the sulphury

smell/taste. You can use a bit of pudding or applesauce or whatever to

put it in too.

The first few rounds take some getting used to. he may wake up fully

or he may not. My son was pissed off and didn't want to drink it at

first but I stood my ground and told him I would not let him go back

to sleep until he took it. By the second round he stopped the fussing.

By the third he was barely waking in the night. Now..he doesn't

remember me waking him to take it. He doesn't open his eyes. I say

" time for dubby, sit to mommy " and I help him sit up. I put the stuff

in his mouth and tell him " chew and breath through you nose " he does.

Then I had him the water and say " swig " . He does then I say " sleep "

and he lays back down and out.

Your boy is little so it should be a bit easier. I would practice

taking juice from the medicine dropper during the day as a game. My

son names this " dubby " . I take a dubby, mom takes a dubby. Then we

moved onto explain that dubby would come in the night. We talked about

it a bit in that way, to help prepare him.

If you need anymore help...please email me..!

Thanks, and I found and ordered the 25mg from kirkman along with their

vitamins as per the McCarthy book that my wife bought.

Its going to be pure hell to get him to take the DMSA and ALA, during

the day... even worse for the night dose, I reckon.

He doesn't listen if I tell him to eat or drink something to begin

with, and he certainly won't wash it down with water afterwards.

Its going to mostly likely turn into either a force-feeding or a

missed / spilled dose.

I will try, but even if I put it in a dropper and squirt it in his

mouth, he might just spit it out.

We'll see....

I guess I would try putting it in one of his *favorite* foods or drinks? Or

something that he *only* gets when you're chelating? I also think Kirkman's

will send you a sheet with some ideas/suggestions on how to get kids to take

stuff, so maybe something on there will work. I also remember reading on A-M

parents reporting that it wasn't as bad as they imagined it to be, or after a

few rounds it was no problem. So try to be patient and positive about it, and

hopefully it will go ok. Alot of parents are doing it, so it is

possible!-------Jackie
