Re: DMSA or ALA for Lead

[Guest guest]

The harshness and side effects are not see if you use the proper

dosing protocol. We are two years and running on my son, daughter and

myself with dmsa/ala. Ala will not remove any significant amount of

lead. So if you have confirmed he has Lead from either hair testing or

blood...he stand a better chance with dmsa.

In the past, several people have posted that based on test results,

ALA does chelate lead, altho probably not as effectively as DMSA.

For some reason we have people playing troll right now and trying to agitate the

list on

this issue.

DMSA has side effects, ALA actually has more side effects.

Proper usage of DMSA will reduce the side effects to modest and easily

controllable issues.
