Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 ... I'm waiting for the results of the hair test to do the counting rules...it should be here any day now... I sent the hair test in two weeks ago. I've been supplementing with zinc 25mg a day forever... my understanding from the doctor was that the DMSA binds onto the lead along with zinc. I " ve looked through Moira's files and I purchased Andy's Amalgam book several years ago. I would continue to work with a doctor on this, but now the cost for an hour's consultation is over $400.00. So I plan to do a 5-6 rounds of ALA and see what happens. I like your suggestion of starting with 12.5 mgs for the ALA. If I understand you right, my son should be taking 90Mgs of zinc divided throughout the day...it sounds high... Thanks for your help...

I had to stop because his zinc levels became very low. I want to start up again and I'm trying to get a RBC test done to see his current zinz level. My question is: does ALA also bind to zinc along with mercury or is it just the DMSA The problem is not that chelators remove zinc (they do not do this to any extent). One factor is that mercury toxic people need a lot of zinc. Starting dose for children is weight + 20 mg in divided doses through the day. Another factor is that nutrients are used up faster during chelation because the body is healing. Be sure to give enough zinc both on and off chelation. that binds to zinc along with lead? I'd like to begin chelating with the ALA alone ASAP because I won't have the zinc levels back from the RBC for a month. I plan to use Andy's protocol... my son is 10 years and 70 pounds. I plan to use 25mg every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hour during the night starting Friday afternoon through Monday morning then take 3 days off and start again the next Friday...does this sound right? This is basically right. I would suggest starting with 12.5 mg. Have you done a hair test? Do be sure you have read through Moria's website (see files section) so you understand what you are doing. -- > Thanks for your help...
