Guest guest Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 My son is doing the Andy cutlet protocol. He is now 5 we started when he was 4 years 10 months. He is not cured but making great strides. My recommendation is to read andy's book and it really helped me to listen to a 1 on 1 interview Andy did on autism one radio. you can google it and listen online. tisha Brown Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Re: Dana, ALA & Chelation > I have a question for Dana and anyone with experience. > I've been reading thru your experience with chelation and I wanted to know if you had your kids tested for mercury toxicity before chelation or did you just go by the symptoms they were presenting?

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 > thank you for your help. Is there any particular brand you prefer? Kirkman sells 25mg capsules [use the hypoallergenic variety]. You can divide the capsules into 1/4 or 1/3 to start. I have used capsules from my local health food store also, but the lowest dose sold at my HFS is 100mg, so it was difficult to divide the capsules at first. It was easier later on when I was giving higher doses. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
