Re: Cutler method question?

[Guest guest]

I don't want to put words in Andy's mouth, but from emails Andy's

preference is for oral. The main preference for oral over transdermal

is that you can be more confident as to what the actual dose size is.

Andy also doesn't believe in suppositories because of the psychological

factor. I know McCandles is big on suppositories because of the amount

of mercury that has been measured coming out, and it also avoids gut

issues. We use oral, and our only issue is needing to be on top of

yeast control. But its managable and the results so far have been

brilliant. The main thing you need to do is get the dose size right

(maybe build up to it slowly over a few months) and make sure you set

your alarm clocks so you keep dosing every 3 hours (although time

periods change depending on DMSA vs DMPS). We have been getting good

results with ALA/DMSA every 3 hours round the clock. It makes the

timing easy to remember 3,6,9,12,3,6,9,12 and we believe our daughters

metabolism does not slow down as much as other kids when she is asleep

so we don't go to 4 hours at night.

You can get the chelator into them any way you want but it doesn't change the

timing

constraints.

Personally I think stuffing a suppository up a kid every 3-4 hours verges on

child abuse

unless it is truly medically necessary to do it that way instead of by mouth or

transdermally.

I reccommend giving the chelators by mouth.
