Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 How much does your 16 year old weigh? I wouldn't say someone was a non-responder until they did 10 rounds at least of ALA. DMSA will clear some metals out of the body if given by itself. It does not cross the blood-brain-barrier. Removing metals from the body will give some physical relief, maybe not so noticeable.

Â Ok, lets say a person doesn't want to get a hair test (limited funds for example) they just want to do a trial of chelation. I have read that you should see some response within 10 rounds. but we advise people to begin at a low dose and work up. My 16 year old for example (we have a hair test but lets say we didn't) is chelating with DMSA only as he has just had amalgams removed. We have only done 3 rounds we gave him 12.5 mgs he has felt nothing good or bad. If we do this for 5 rounds then increase to 16mgs for another 5, etc.... (of course then we will add ALA). But I am thinking about others people who may be doing only a trial (most probably with ALA not DMSA), how do you decide you are a non responder vs. not being on high enough a dose to get a response yet?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I agree TJ and we have a hair test on my 16 year old but I have a friend who is interested in chelation. It will take her awhile to gather the extra funds for the hair test(then to gather the funds for chelation supps will take a couple more months). She has several people in the house that may need chelation but none of them have any Amalgams or recent vaxes. I'm figuring for less than $10 she can buy a bottle of ALA and do some rounds (hey even if there are no metals it's a great antioxident right). If she starts low at 12.5mgs and does 5 rounds with nothing then moves up to 16mgs or 20mgs for another 5 rounds and sees nothing good or bad is that enough to rule out metal toxicity or should she be prepared to go higher. It does describe an ALA theraputic trial in AI, but I know some of that info is outdated. Should those higher doseages (25-50mgs ALA) be used for this purpose with the knowledge that the round can be cut short if extreme symptoms appear?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'd go by what it says in AI, or the Hair Test book. Older kids take longer to respond. You could start with max dose, 1/2 mg per pound If there is a strong reaction like yeast, then you know there is a toxicity issue.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I was discussing something similar with a biochemist that specializes in toxin removal and their suggestion was to go to a gluten-free, vegan diet. Given one month, if lives did not drastically change, then continue toward alternatives. Their opinion was that if you changed to diet and allowed the immune system to heal, the body would be able to begin handling some of the overload and that chelation without changing the diet first was doing more harm than good. Can't disagree there on any level, and it is very easy to eat a lot of fresh veggies and fruit, even if you still eat a fist-sized portion of meat for dinner.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I can understand the thought process here but if a person is metal toxic all the 'right food' in the world isn't going to heal them. For a metal toxic person the metals must come out for any real healing to begin. People have chelated without special diets (even when the diet was found beneficial)and have healed. The idea that you can't chelated before fixing gut problems (yeast, diets, etc...) has been disproven.
