Which to increase DMSA or ALA?

[Guest guest]

We are finishing my daughter's 14th round of DMSA 15mg and ALA 12.5 mg.

We started at DMSA only at 5mg then slowly increased. We have been on

DMSA 15mg and ALA 12.5mg for two rounds. So far, she seems to be

handling both ok. She is 6 yrs old and weighs about 45lbs. Should I

increase the DMSA or ALA? THanks for any help. Sheila

Forgive me if I'm forgetting, but hasn't she had mood problems on round or

closely after the round? If so, I wouldn't be in a hurry to increase the

dosage, you don't necessarily get more out when you are using more chelators.

This seems like plenty of Dmsa/Ala, much more than ours ever took. Trying to

go too fast too soon often cause problems.

THanks for any help. Sheila

She is always moody, on and off round. She seems a little bit better

than she was before chelating though. I will keep it at the current

dosage for a while. Have you done a urine metal test to see how much

is coming out? Last month her stool test came back with goods pulls

for mercury. I am going to have a OAT test done for yeast to see if

we have a problem there also. So far, I have been treating it with

Biotin, and GSE and that seems to be helping.
