Don't do improper chelation and you will be fine. Follow the Andy Cutler

protocol, which is low and frequent dosing.

Give the supporting supplements, which you can read about in the files section

of the group.

Very safe and effective.

Â

TJ, thank you for your reply. It's very helpful to have this spelled out such

that we can set expectations (so a proper course will take years, involving

loads of supplements) .

Any parents out there with mild or high-functioning kids who had any trouble

chelating? I'm afraid of doing anything wrong and making our almost-normal-

seeming kid worse, so I'm hoping to learn what *not* to do before we embark on

this.

Thanks again,

May 5, 2010

4 recovered kids! That is amazing. Nothing is more encouraging than

success stories.

Yes, you got it right. A few more points.

- Testing is not always conclusive, you could get a false negative. It is only

used to convince you to start chelating.

- You could do a ten round " trial " of chelation. If you get results, it is proof

positive of heavy metal intoxication.

- Never use lab results to determine when to stop chelation. You stop when the

child is " all better " .

- If a child reacts positively to a GFCF diet or an elimination diet created

from an Igg test, it is highly likely they are toxic. The metals affect the

body's ability to produce enzymes and other systems in the body that enable the

child toÂ digest dairy, wheat, and other foods properly. Dairy and wheat are the

most common.

So, to be completely clear, would the following be a safe program following the

AC protocol:

For our almost-4-year- old who weighs 38 pounds, 10mg of ALA (I've read Kirkland

ALA 25mg is good, and not ®-Lipoic Acid) every three hours (every four hours

at night) for three days, then four days off. If he tolerates that well, and as

he gains weight (though he's lost his appetite recently and may not gain much),

then we might increase the dosage to 15mg or 20mg, then keep it there

consistently for months or years till we stop the chelation process altogether.

Again, this assumes the hair test results confirm mercury intoxication.

Have I got this right?

> Give the supporting supplements, which you can read about in the files section

Thank you for the pointer to " Supplement file.htm " ! I hadn't gotten around to

looking at the Files at all (obviously).

> Very safe and effective.

Excellent. I'm looking forward to getting our hair test done so we can know what

we're dealing with.

Thank you,

Is 8 rounds of DMSA normal or can you introduce the ALA veyr quickly, eg after 1

round?

Hi

For your consideration, our biomed recommended starting with DMSA first - it

doesn't cross the blood brain barrier so it won't carry metals from the body

into the brain. Once you've done 8 rounds of DMSA (clearing some of the load

from the body) then add in the ALA and you start to remove toxic metals from the

brain. You are doing great. Kind regards,

issues, we've coincidentally got our son on all but the GSE (I will check that

out) and milk thistle (I just picked some up today). We introduced enzymes a few

days ago and they seem to help his appetite. Today also I got taurine and epsom

salts and, on his ND's advice, glycine. Our boy's organic acids test results

show him very high in stress, very in need of antioxidants (vitamin C and E),

having difficulty detoxifying (liver isn't working well), with very high

intestinal bacterial overgrowth (presumably yeast). Based on Amalgam Illness (p.

189), I'll explore the sulfur food exclusion diet.

immediately: do the hair test when it arrives in the mail, then start 5mg ALA

every 3 hours for 3 days, 4 days off; when the hair test results come back, add

low-dose DMSA depending on what it says. I'm a little nervous to proceed when I

haven't read both Cutler books entirely, but, given everything we do know,

chelation seems the best course of action.

You can start with ALA right away as long as there have been no amalgam fillings

or recent mercury exposure.
