Re: ALA side effects...........

[Guest guest]

Hi Laurie,

I went to http://onibasu.com/ and put in " ALA headache " and got some good hits

on the

A-M archives. It looks like other people have experienced them. Are you doing

every 3

hours? I wonder if you would feel better on 2.5 hours.

Yes, try 2.5 or even every 2 hours. Make sure you are supplying E, natural

d-alpha, not dl-alpha, 400 IU once a day and C, B's, magnesium and zinc 3-4

times a day.

Chelators create a lot of oxidative stress, so the antioxidants are very

important.

Good luck,

[ ] ALA side effects...........

I just wanted to make sure we weren't crazy or something. I began

chelating myself, my daughter and my 2 year old ASD son today. We are

doing Andy's protocol and all supplements and that part has gone

smooth. We are only taking 1/8 mg/ # of ALA.

My daughter and I have had intermittent headaches all day and been

extremely tired. The tired doesn't phase me really, but the headaches

are concerning me. Has anyone experienced this?

If we decrease the dose, will it ehlp or do we live with this? My son

seems fine, but he is non-verbal, so I can't be sure.

Thanks for any help,

Try some magnesium. Usually when my kids get headaches from chelating, they

need a magnesium boost.

Headaches and tired, for me, means I have yeast in my head. Try

increasing your yeast protocol, see if that helps.

Another thing that may help is Lots of Hydration too. Make sure you

push plenty of fluids.

Plenty of water up to 10-12. (.8 oz glasses a day for an adult)

Yes! My husband got this. He spent his first round in bed with a

terrible headache (He never gets headache that was a first for him). On

his second round, the headache only lasted one day and then he did not

get any the following rounds.

Same for my son, he was non-verbal at that time but was holding his

head in his hands: one hand on his forehead, the other hand behind his

ear.

Andy suggested CoQ10.

I also got headaches at my first round but not as pronounced. I did

feel very sick and was in bed most of the week end...

First 2-3 rounds with ALA are difficult in my family... we did not

started chelation at the same time, so there was only one person sick

at a time..

I've had these horrible headaches too. I haven't been able to

complete and ALA only round, though an ALA/DMSA worked, but still had

a few symptoms. Have you consider adding magnesium to see if it might

help?
