Guest guest Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 What's the dosing schedule?Sent from my iPhone Hello everyone, Our DAN doctor has recommended starting 200mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily as transdermal cream. Does anyone have any concerns about this as a potential chelator, or any other points they would like to share?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Our DAN doesn't think it is a chelator, she thinks it is an antioxidant. That's why we have some concerns. > > > Hello everyone, > > > > Our DAN doctor has recommended starting 200mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily as transdermal cream.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Seems like a lot all at once. Once a day dosing isn't probably the best way to dose ala, which has a very short half life. I'm not sure how much different transdermal vs oral dosing is, but I've always heard that dosing at least every 6 hrs is important and Cutler says every 3 hrs. I have heard of using ala at really low doses, 1x/day, merely for antioxidant and Mito support. I just don't know how the dosing translates to transdermal. Anyone else know?In general, 1x/day dosing of a chelating agent is typically not preferable.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I would be very concerned about using such a tremendous dose infequently. We used to dose ALA, 5mg every 3 hours for 3 days straight and saw gains. Many people do this. It is known as the Andy Cutler protocol. You can read about this protocol in " Fight Autism and Win.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Giving large doses of ALA like this is unsafe and could make your son worst, please do your research. Visit recoveringkids.com The Cutler chelation protocol uses ALA and should be administered every 3 hours to avoid any problems. It's important... do your research, we all work so hard to help your kids, I would hate for this to backfire on you ! > > > Hi Lina, > > > > The toxins are you talking are metals like mercury, lead, etc. > > > > Thank very much, > > > > > > > > > > To: " mb12valtrex " <mb12valtrex > > > Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 5:36 AM > > Subject: Re: alpha-lipoic acid > > > > hi chet, > > our dan dr recommended alpha-lipoic for my son as well, he said its a nature acid exist in the body to recycle the glotathion in the body (u no.. glotathion is v important for getting rid of toxins naturally) > > our dose was 100m twice a day, so i think same dose as u. > > he's doing well with this amino acid ( its been 6 mnth) as his toxins levels getting lower every test we made. > > thnx > > Lina > > > > > > To: mb12valtrex > > Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 12:02 AM > > Subject: alpha-lipoic acid > > > > > > Hello everyone, > > > > Our DAN doctor has recommended starting 200mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily as transdermal cream.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Lina - Your doc is correct that it helps build glutathione in the body, which can support natural detox. It is also an antioxidant and supports mitochondria. But, it is important to know that it has the chemical composition of a chelator ( and a very good one for mercury), and should be respected as such. You need to dose it more frequently. There is some differing opinions about how frequently, but i've never heard of docs saying it is safe to dose in large doses once or even twice a day. Do your research. ALA is wonderful, but many think it can cross the BBB, so best to use it as safely as possible.RuthSent from my iPad Hi Lina, The toxins are you talking are metals like mercury, lead, etc. Thank very much, To: "mb12valtrex " <mb12valtrex > Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 5:36 AM Subject: Re: alpha-lipoic acid hi chet,our dan dr recommended alpha-lipoic for my son as well, he said its a nature acid exist in the body to recycle the glotathion in the body (u no.. glotathion is v important for getting rid of toxins naturally)our dose was 100m twice a day, so i think same dose as u.he's doing well with this amino acid ( its been 6 mnth) as his toxins levels getting lower every test we made.thnxLina To: mb12valtrex Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 12:02 AM Subject: alpha-lipoic acid Hello everyone, Our DAN doctor has recommended starting 200mg of alpha-lipoic acid daily as transdermal cream.
