Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 ----- Original Message ----- From: mywonderbaby Hello, My son's ION profile recommends he can benefit from Lipoic acid. Can I give him 100 mg of ALA once per day not with the intention of following any chelation protocol but just as part of his daily supplementation? ===>No, you can't or shouldn't, or wouldn't want to. The Ala won't know why you are giving it and it will do more than one thing, whatever the ION said it was good for and it will mobilize and redistribute mercury and move it to parts of the body you don't want. If you want to use Ala, use the recommended dosage of 1/8 mg per lb, every 3 hours during the day, every 4 at night, for a minimum of 66 hours. My son is 2 yrs and weighs 28 lbs. Thanks, Maya.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 is correct. It has been well proven in a number of studies that ALA if used infrequently (ie ignoring its half life - like giving it once a day) will cause a concentration of heavy metals in organs, which includes in the brain. But studies aside, I know of one family that decided Cutler protocol was too difficult, so they went ahead and gave ALA once a day, and their autistic son regressed and got a whole lot worse and started having severe seizures. So if you do it once a day, you are taking a BIG gamble with your son's health. wrote: > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: mywonderbaby > > Hello, > > My son's ION profile recommends he can benefit from Lipoic acid.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 there are other antioxidants to use besides this one. Ala is powerful stuff...it took me two years to tolerate 5mg without headaches..I'd never advise anyone to take 100mg let alone take it not as a chelator. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: mywonderbaby > > > > Hello, > > My son's ION profile recommends he can benefit from Lipoic acid.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Maya, Comments interspersed. S S please advice --- ALA - but not for chelation. Posted by: " mywonderbaby " mywonderbaby@... mywonderbaby Mon Dec 22, 2008 3:44 pm (PST) Hello, My son's ION profile recommends he can benefit from Lipoic acid. Can I give him 100 mg of ALA once per day not with the intention of following any chelation protocol but just as part of his daily supplementation? *No, ALA (alpha lipoic acid) is a chelator, it will chelate regardless of what you give it for. It needs to be given at 1/8-1/2 mg per lb every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night for 3 days and nights " on " and at least as long " off " . 14 mg would be the maximum dose for your child at his current weight and you should work up to that , not start at it. My son is 2 yrs and weighs 28 lbs. Thanks, Maya. ------------------------------------------------------------ Click to become a master chef, own a restaurant and make millions.
