RE: Why is my child better on chelation?

November 27, 2008

We have had the same experience. We did DMSA chelation alone for a couple of

months and

our son was always happy and loving on round. Once we added ALA into the mix,

he became

very calm and very NT seeming on round. My thoughts always are that are kids

are metal

toxic, and that ALA is doing its job crossing the BBB pulling out metals. In a

way, it is like the

curtain is lifted for a brief period to see what might have been but for the

metal toxicity.

Hopefully, when we have all chelated enough rounds, the curtain will be

permanently lifted.

My friend told me this week after a round, her son told her " I can talk now. "

So our kids are

definitely in there, and chelation is one of the major means, for a lot of our

kids anyway, to

emerge. They are fully conscious of what goes on, no matter how it seems, so we

have to

forge on. My son will even ask for the chelator sometimes, and it is nasty

tasting, so I know

it is doing its job and making him feel better. It is satisfying and makes you

not mind getting

up every 3 hours in the night to administer the ALA.

If my memory is not betraying me, when I read " Children with Starving

Brains " , there was a chapter about oxalates that said that one of the

benefits of ALA is to reduce oxalate levels, and that's why some kids

feel better when they're on it. I would look it up, but one of my

friends has borrowed the book. I have, however, found the following

link googling " oxalates ALA " :

When you click on the link, it will attempt to open a doc file in

which Owens talks about oxalates. I have no first hand

experience with this, just thought I would throw it in the discussion.
