I don't have any experience with Chelation Pro-Support but have heard the

first one is a problem but the Pro-Support 2 is better. We had to stop giving

my son Zinc at night because he would always wake up (I think it was making

him nauseous). I break it up and give it to him twice a day now with meals

and never with calcium. He does much better this way. Good luck and I hope

you find out what's causing the problem.

The NAC in pro-support causes problems for about 1/2 of the kids,

improvements for the other 1/2, according to another support group.

Kirkman Labs has another version w/o NAC and very helpful staff to

answer your questions.

Originally we were told to stop any supplements w/minerals during the

3 on days, but then our protocol changed.

Each round of DMSA has caused different reactions, so far nothing

really awful for us, but lots of good changes, too. I do think Ian

is a bit edgier on days 4 & 5, but not always. The range of

reactions is enormous from person to person.

How exciting to be starting chelation! Good luck!
