,

How much Biotin do you give (our son is 3 years old & 40 pounds) and do you also

give Magnesium ( & which kind) with it? (He tends to get constipated and then

has runny poops when it does come out.)

Our son is currently on Diflucan but I want to switch him to Biotin.

Thanks!

Re: [ ] Re: concerns

The biggest thing to know before starting any chelation - whether ALA,

DMSA or DMPS, is that you should remove exposure to metals. Does your

daughter have any fillings? Are they silver? That is usually the

biggest concern, since they are mercury. They need to be safely removed

before chelation. As for things to add, I believe there is also a file

about supplements in the files section. You will want to start there

and read a lot before starting. The time you take to ask questions,

read and educate yourself will be well worth it. I took almost a year,

and got Andy's book Amalgam illness on top of all the files section and

reading the messages here. Wait until you feel comfortable that you

know what and why you are doing it.

Many of the parents here get a hair analysis test from Doctor's Data,

which can be ordered without a physician. You send in the hair and get

results back. Then, you can post the results here on the message board

for people to help you interpret. That will give you a good idea of

where to start, and if you may want to start with DMSA instead of just

ALA. Andy has developed what are called " counting rules " which help

discern the presence of mercury. When you call DDI for the hair test,

you can mention this message board for a discount. Again, more info

about the hair test is in the files section. A lot of people start with

DMSA then add ALA. DMSA chelates without crossing the blood brain

barrier, so if there is a lot of metal to move, it is best to start with

that so less chance of redepositing in the brain. There are many more

knowledgeable people about that here than me, so if you have questions

after reading the files, ask away! :-)

Make sure the Cod Liver Oil is a brand that tests mercury free. It

should say on the bottle. We also have our son, who tends to be yeasty,

on biotin daily. It helps with yeast. Chelation can increase yeast. I've

read that l-Carnatine helps ALA absorption, so I have the kids taking

that also, but not necessarily with every dose of ALA. There's been

some talk here about TMG - can't remember if it was good or bad or if

there were problems since we don't use it. But, thought I'd mention it

in case there were. You might search past posts for that.

As for the doctor you are seeing. I have a great naturopath that I use

for health care, but I wouldn't trust him to chelate any of us. He

doesn't know about the protocol we use, and uses EDTA. I do hope to

educate him about the process as we progress. I believe he will be very

open to it. But, if he isn't, we will still do it our way.

Best to you,

P.
