Re: reasons for not using DMSA

[Guest guest]

As with anything, some kids don't tolerate it well. ALA is the more important of

the two because it crosses the blood brain barrier and removes metals from the

brain, but is better if you can use both because it will remove 20-30% more

metals according to Andy Cutler.

Subject: [ ] reasons for not using DMSA

I'm about to start chelation my son of 6 years and 25 kilos, I have doubts

because I've read that many popes have chelated only ALA and I could never find

the reasons for not doing so with DMSA.

I have no Dr. to advise, so I ask you, what are the reasons for not using DMSA

thanks to all

[Guest guest]

ALA is cheaper, readily available, doesn't require an MD prescription (neither

does DMSA, really, but it is harder to get), and probably sounds better to

people because it is 'natural'.

Best yet, ALA crosses the blood-brain barrier, which makes it all you need to

rid your body of mercury.

I use DMSA and ALA because of lead. DMSA chelates lead well and ALA does not.

The combination of the two, for us, really seems to work.

Good luck.

pam,

could you please give me a more detailed explanation about how you combine the

use of both??? his  last hmetals test shows lead too.  what l have read from

andy`s book, he recommends DMSA after amalgam removal, and then move on to ALA

but since that is not my kid`s case; is there a BEST way to go when starting??

We started with DMSA for one of my sons and DMPS for the other (but needed an

r/x for that). After several rounds we introduced ALA in very small doses. Now

we vary it - sometimes I do just ALA and sometimes a combo of DMSA/ALA or

DMPS/ALA.

DMSA is good for lead, which is an issue for one of my sons. But mercury in the

areas that ALA reaches is the priority. DMSA can reduce neutrophils and is more

work for the liver, so I use ALA alone if I feel my son's immune system needs

extra protection or his liver needs a boost.

Hi Dana and All,

Thinking of starting DMSA orally with my 5 year old.

My BIGGEST concern is, he is a yeasty kid, so YEAST WILL BE A TERROR SOON!

What all can I do to keep that in check?

Nystatin continuosly

GSE continuosly

Oil of Oregano rotation with GSE?

Biotin 2000mg a day(didn't had constipation when started though)

Dana, any suggestion on that!

Saurkraut 3 tbsp every day.

Thinking of Carylic acid(but he didn't quite tolerate it last time, lot of

bloating with Kapprycidin?)

Yes, all kind of probiotics.

By the way I found out that VSL #3 capsules have traces of CASEIN,

anyone seeing negatives from it?

Thanks a ton,

Sasmita

Any other suggestions?

us either, and vsl#3 helps with oxalates so if you got yeast and high oxalates,

it can help

What worked best at my house was the combination of biotin and GSE.

Presuming you meant biotin 2000mcg, that would not have been enough for my son.

I ended up giving him 20mg [20,000mcg] 3x per day, plus a lot of GSE 3x per day,

when the yeast was really bad. If the biotin is constipating, give it with

magnesium.
