Re: enzymes and metals -- enzymes first?

the heavy metals?

Yes. I used HNI enzymes to get my son stabilized. Then chelated with ALA. The

ALA eliminated most of the food issues and allowed me to remove the enzymes

[after about 50 rounds]. There were certain other food issues that required

certain supplements to resolve.

It worked very well here.

> What if one had to increase the enzymes very slowly due to being very

sensitive to change and it would take months to get to the full dosage, would it

still be better to do it first before starting the metals?

In my opinion, yes.

> But I've also heard those who emphasize the heavy metals say that getting rid

of those took care of a lot of food sensitivities.

Yes, but the enzymes helped deal with most of the food issues until the metals

were removed.

I agree with Dana that the enzymes are needed first to help with healing the gut

and getting more of the nutrients from food and supplements. We did not do

enzymes first, we had started on IV chelation after the diet was in place. Huge

gains but the gut still needed healing and we went to enzymes. They really

helped heal his gut with probiotics and zinc. His heavy metal load still went

down, but I think it's important to start healing the gut first and then address

chelation.

it might take care of a lot of other problems.
