WAS Re: Digest Number 13718 NOW New with questions

HI,

We have used ALA we purchased from iHerb. I actually brought it to a

pharmacist friend to have compounded in the right amounts for my 2

kids. We have noted constant and good improvement, and are only up to

1/12 mg per pound.

Like yours, mine are both older. One is 14, NT, and the other is 18,

Aspergers. We started over 6 months ago. I can tell you that

unknowingly we chased a lot of symptoms for years. I think that the

chelation has made it so we can stop chasing symptoms and things are

getting better. Once you decide what your child needs, and have

researched it thoroughly to know proper dosing and timing, then just

start. We started VERY low dose, lower than recommended at 1/16 mg per

pound and still saw great results. We had no problems with my sons

yeast building up again, which was a big concern for me. We just

occasionally had to give him some GSE, but just biotin daily kept it

pretty much at bay. I was worried that he would react strongly to the

change and moving metals out. But, it was the 14 year old we had to

adjust supplements for.

In the end, I can say I have been pleasantly surprised at the ease of

chelation and speed of improvement. Other than the couple of issues

that had us add extra magnesium and increase water intake for our

daughter, it has been very smooth. Family members have all be very

excited with the improvement in my son, the 18 year old.

Hope that helps.
