Guest guest Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 I have cluster headaches and was wondering what is safe for me to take for them. Thanks Connie(Va) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Dear Sissy: There are many antivirals to try. The rash could be from die-off. Start with low doses of the enzymes and work your way up or try a different brand (possibly allergic to that specific brand). There are tons of antiviral products out there to use. Give him gobs of Vitamin C to keep the effects of die-off down and to help with the viruses. I found Buffered Vitamin C from Thorne Research is best, but Kirkman sells some too. I have heard of other antivirals like lysine, and black walnut hull. I think de-worming is also needed for these kids. I would hold off on using Vitamin A to kill the viruses for now, and try other antiviral remedies. I have not heard of too many bad reactions from lysine.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 > Please help me my son his taken supplements for the amonia,but I think is worse Excessive ammonia is usually caused by improper protein digestion and/or bad bacteria overgrowth. Do you give enzymes designed for protein issues? I used OLE for bad bacteria issues. >>he is constantly banging against objects with his hands,feet or body and continues manipulate as well as clasp his hand. This can be several things, including B6 toxicity [do you give B6 supplements?], yeast overgrowth, zinc deficiency or toxicity, and a few other things.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 > Dana, > I thought you had a son with CAPD. Yes, #1. >>Did chelation help the capd? Not technically, but a few supplements have. Anti-virals, fish oil [with mito cocktail], mB12, folic acid, carnitine for proper absorption. Basically the same supplements that helped #2 and #3 with language have really helped the CAPD. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 > > What we're the signs that your son was mineral toxic? Every time I tried to add minerals, my son regressed. I bought them individually, and it was primarily calcium and iron that caused the problem. I used IP6, a demineralizer, and my son had nice improvements.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 If I were to use IP6, would I use it before or after ALA chelation?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 > Hi Dana, > Thanks for your reply. > I am trying to figure all this out by books and these groups, cannot afford the DAN Dr. in my area (he wants $1000 before I could even make the appt.) along with all his private therapies. I recovered my son without a doctor. You will do fine. > I have never given my son any vitamins, I am always nervous about vitamin toxicity. Start with a low dose and work up as required, and as you feel comfortable. > His " stim " for the longest time, was tapping two things together, we just realized that he has cut back on that the past few days (not completely). Now I noticed he is back to looking at magazines (Motor Trend, National Geographic and the newspapers) when he is excited, he has been sticking his tongue out and mouthing with it, then he tends to need to grab someones arm, hand etc. (Aside from being non-verbal Autistic, he has apraxia). These can mean yeast overgrowth or virus issues. Mouthing was usually yeast overgrowth or food intolerance here, so you might want to start with that. For some kids, mouthing means zinc deficiency. > If I do introduce a vitamin, is there any testing I can do to monitor him? This lab has a good online list of tests http://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/ > In your opinion, is a multi-vitamin a good place to start with him? A multi will work for many kids, altho not all. My son never did well with multis, I had to supplement individually. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Not Dana here, but just wanted to let you know that is what my son (18) is recovering from. Chelation and biomed working amazingly with him. We are using only ALA at 1/12mg per pound right now. Andy's timing. FWIW, we never pursued an official diagnosis.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 For my son, not much now. We started with addressing the yeast with GSE. Then we added zinc, cal/mag, enzymes, probiotics, Vit A, D and C. Then we started chelation. Oh, and we also did NoFenol. But, mostly, we got the yeast under control and started ALA. I got the impression from my reading, that would pretty much fix everything rather than supplementing. We've been living an organic, whole food lifestyle with much different than the average American diet since he was a child. So, I guess you could add that. I can't imagine how much worse things could have been without that lifestyle, but I get an idea from reading others' stories.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 > > I read somewhere that you had aspergers. Did chelation with ala cure > your 'aspi' symptoms? I have been using ALA for myself, for 2 years now. I think, like my kids, that it is not the ALA per se, but the other supps that have caused most of the improvement. I don't know that I am " cured " , but most of my main symptoms are significantly reduced, and some are no longer present. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 > Do you believe all symptoms would return if you stop the supps? Depends. Some supps I am finished with. Others I still need, altho not at the high doses that I once required. This is the main benefit of chelation at my house. Supps are only required for a relatively short period of time, until the body's stores are normalized. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 hi Dana I just wanna ask what would be your options of chelation if your kid doesn't want to take medicine orally and would they be as effective as the one taken orally? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 > hi Dana I just wanna ask what would be your options of chelation if your kid doesn't want to take medicine orally and would they be as effective as the one taken orally? Oral is the most recommended. Some people use suppositories. This is not as effective as oral. Some people use transdermal cream. This is not as effective as oral. Some people use IV. This can be more or less effective than oral, but also tends to have more significant possible side effects and problems. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Thanks Dana I wated to use Andy's protocol on chelation but it said there that you have to give it every 4 hours the whole day, I'm not sure if my kid would take it, if I wake him up in the middle of his sleep that's my biggest concern.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 oh thanks, can you tell me the starting dosage and for how long should I keep them on that dosage, my kids are turning six an and is there a specific brand of ALA that you use or recommend?

I kept that dose until I saw no improvements for 5 rounds. Generally, it went 10 rounds with changes, and then 5 rounds of nothing. Then I increased the dose. Watch for yeast overgrowth. >>an and is there a specific brand of ALA that you use or recommend? I have used several different brands. Choose one with the fewest additives and fillers.
