Meant to say three on, eleven off!

[ ] Just about to start ALA

Hi,

We have been chelating using oral DMSA for about a year. We are

giving approx 50mg every four hours, three days on four off. Our son

is 13 years old and weighs about 6 stone and 3lb. Lead originally

showed up as high on his blood test. It has reduced and is now shown

in the mid elevated area on the test results. All other metals are

within the reference range. We have had yeast type problems, but not

too bad. We are about to start ALA and I have been reading the

protocol in the files. Am I rights in thinking I need to give ALA

with DMSA three hourly throughout the day and four hourly overnight?

Also, what dose of ALA would I start off with?

Thanks,

Jane

Yes.

I'd probably start with 10 mgs for a few rounds to make sure all is well.

Thanks, my son does not swallow capsules. Is it ok to open both and mix in a

little water?

You can try it. ALA is acidic and some people find it irritates

the mouth or throat and causes discomfort. If he has this problem,

you can put the powder in a bite of food.

My son does not swallow pills either. We just started our 2nd round with ALA.

The previous 5 rounds were with DMSA only. I have been giving the ALA and DMSA

with juice.

I did not know that ALA irritates the throat. Now I am worried.

He may be fine with it - not everyone has this problem.

Try it and see.

I have been giving ALA in small amounts of water or OJ for a long

time and my kids have no problem with it at all. If he's really

sensitive OJ is probably better than water.
