Re: DMSA

,

We are just finishing our 8th treatment and yes it is hard on them. I've

heard it helps to be on the various recommended supplements for a while prior

to chelation to prepare the body. However we did not do this. What I saw in

my son during chelation was more tantrums, aggression and frustration. I've

been told that their worst behavior is times 100 when chelation is pulling

the metals out of their organs, and times 1000 when it pulls from the brain.

It really wasn't all that bad for the end product. It has opened alot of

doors for my son-he learns easier & faster, he understands more, has good eye

contact and is social. I hope this helps.

There are several recommended supplements, but my son does not

tolerate any of them, so I am not using them. I am chelating with ALA

instead of DMSA, which has its own issues. I am seeing NO regression

or negative results at all, but I understand that the better the gut

is healed, the easier time the child will have with chelation, and my

son has been gfcf for almost two years, plus lots of other

interventions.

You can read my son's story through the first two rounds of chelation

on this link, if you are interested.
