The general rule is to keep dose the same for 5 rounds you DO NOT mess with the

dosage during a round. If you go 5 rounds with not noticeable gains or side

effects you increase dosage by no more than 5mgs.

You absolutely do not continue a chelation round if you are unable to give a

dose night dosing is mandatory or redistribution starts and you will do more

damage to your child. Night dosing isn't as bad as many think it will be. If

you are afraid about it you could get up a few times and do a trial night dosing

without the medicine (if you'll give it with syringe then do that with juice

only or if you'll mix in pudding or even empty caps if that is the method you'll

use during chelation).

We donot give chelators with regard to food. Chelators are given by the clock,

period. They do not bind to food or minerals. Do not dose according to this

doc total dosage for the day is irrelevant. Read the files and stick to Andy's

recommended dosages. Increase slowly or your child could suffer a lot of side

effects.

Read the files and make sure you are giving the proper amounts per Any's

recommendation increase any that need but sure you aren't giving anything that

is contrary like Glutethione or EDTA.

Thank you so much for your reply!

My son has been waking up at 3am the last couple of nights. Maybe he is

subconsciously getting ready for the chelation schedule.

I will ask about the ND about the glutathione b/c she has him on nebulized

glutathione and some of the supplements do contain glutathione.
