Yes, ALA was wonderful at my house. I chelated all four of my kids

with ALA, and now I am doing myself.

> *They say to use ALA every 3 hours or not at all, did you do this?

No, I gave it 3x per day. Some kids will not tolerate this protocol

tho. Start at a low dose and watch what happens.

> *How likely is it that toxins can move into the brain.

I never saw anything that would have been caused by that.

> * Will it always increase yeast?

Most of the time, yes. It caused yeast overgrowth at my house until

about round 50.

my son can't

> tolerate them yet

The only supplement my son tolerated when I started ALA, was HNI

enzymes. I added the other supplements as chelation progressed. He

started tolerating a few supps at round 10, most of the others at

round 50.

ALA does deplete minerals, which for my son was not a problem because

he was mineral toxic. But I have had to supplement minerals for myself.

> *Did you have a hair analysis test done? Should I test for copper?

No hair analysis here. If you suspect copper, try giving some zinc

every day.

Not much, which is why I liked it.

No. It supports the liver and excretes metal thru the bm so does not

stress the kidneys.

> *How do I find out what a gentle, conservative dose would be for a

26lb child

I would start with no more than 5mg, see how he does with that.

I have TwinLabs multi mineral that I took 2-3x per day as required. I

do have bottles of individual minerals that I took as required.
