Now: EMILY: Reconsider this protocol was: supplements and chelation

[Guest guest]

Please reconsider this protocol. That is A LOT OF DMSA For a 35 pound

child. And are you planning to give him a suppository every four hours?

Number one: DMSA last fours hour in the body and should be dosed every

four hours, for three days including at night.

NUmber Two: The DAN is wrong, you need to give minerals and vitamins

all the time. You DO NOT stop them on a round. Your instinct is right,

you should increase them or at least keep the same doses. Chelation

does not actually chelate the minerals out as we might think, at least

not dmsa chelation, but removing the metals give the body need to

replace them with minerals. So we need more minerals.

Number Three: you should not use suppositories at all. Unless there is

some medical reason your child cannot swallow dmsa. If then,

transdermal should be used..not suppositories. The absorption rate is

unclear making the dosing unclear.

You should not use NDF at all. It contains chlorella which will move

mercury all around the body but will not remove it. This is dangerous.

The reason all the kids have major meltdowns on this method of

chelation is the high doses and ways it's given. Again....don't do

this method. Please hold off and learn a safer way first. We do not

see meltdowns with Andy Cutlers low dose oral protocol. It's in the

files. And anyone here will help you with including me. I'd hate to

see your child get sicker because this DAN does not know how to safely

chelate.

Yes, GSE is fine and you will need something for yeast. Keep the

biotin and probiotics. Constipation won't happen if you use oral and

anti-yeast treatment. And honestly, if your trying to remove metals

you don't want the colon all backed up like that.

You are right to be afraid to do what this doctor has told you. It is

not the safest way to do it. Small doses every four hours orally is

the safe way to do this. Giving a child a suppository is traumatic

enough. 35 pounds, he needs 5mg of dmsa every four hours.

You dose it at 1/8-1/2 mg per pound of child. So a start dose for him

is 5mg. You can order your own dmsa online cheaply. You do not have to

do it the way this guy wants you too. Giving high doses infrequently

moves around a lot of metals and causes problems, that's why those

other kids flip out on that protocol. Also, because they are not

getting any vitamins/minerals. The body needs those to deal with the

stress of chelation. I also see no mention of liver support. You need

liver support as milk thistle or liver life to chelate.

In the files there is a supplement file, way down towards the bottom

of the list. Open that, at the end is a " list of supplements for

chelation " , that is what your child needs to be on.

There is also a chelation protocol " Andy's protocol " file. And here is

a link to this information also:

I don't want this to sound desperate, but it is...this can be done way

easier than this. I have done almost three years of chelation on both

my kids and we did not have problems like that. You won't either if

you use the low dose protocol.

Your doctor may balk at it, but what you can do is try to ask for oral

dmsa, stating that you don't want to do suppositories. Or you can

forgo this guy and do the chelation with the low dose protocol. You do

not need him to rx the dmsa. If he doesn't like it, then he doesn't.

It's fine to use him for testing and stuff, but he's not going to do

you any favors with the chelation. And this risk making your child worse.
