New to this and confused!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi - I have a three year old son and we've just had some lab tests done

and determined there were high toxins of mercury, lead, tin, tungsten,

arsenic, cesium, gallium and rubidium. He also had a little yeast and

a couple bad parasites in his gut. It was recomended that we get him

on DMSA, NAC, Lipoic Acid, K-Pax, Zinc, digestive enzymes, probiotics

and fish oil. I'm starting very slowly because all this stuff scares

me to death. So far we're not doing very well. The fish oil -

Coromega - had vanilin in it and he was acting wild and staring at his

hands like he did before we went GF/CF. We are now going try Nordic

Naturals. We also started doing the enzymes - about half with every

meal and two capsules of the probiotics daily per his Dr. He developed

diarrhea - possibly from the enzymes and the probiotics or he did have

a bad cold, too. We are going to start the digestive enzymes again

slowly and see where that gets us. Any sugguestions/advice would be

greatly appreciated since I am very overwhelmed!! Thank you and I am

looking forward to being a part of this group - It's always nice to

know there are others out there in the same situation. Amber

DMSA and ALA need to be given on a protocol. Most people use 3 days

" on " and 4 days " off " . Some kids need them to be given every 3 hours.

I used only ALA, and I gave it 3x per day.

Some kids don't need NAC and will do badly with it.

Which enzymes? There is usually a 3 week adjustment period. Some

kids don't tolerate certain enzymes.

Thanks Dana - It is the EnZym-Complete DPP-IV from Kirkman. Dr said to do 2

with every meal and one with every snack. Doesn't this seem like a lot? I'm

doing about 1/2 with every meal and none with snacks. (He's 3 and doesn't eat

that much) Thanks for the help - Amber
