Gearing up to start....a few more questions.

[Guest guest]

OK....my kids are " NT " - whatever that designation means. They can't digest

food even after 1 year SCD and are very sensitive to yeast. Allergies, etc.

Son is 5 1/2, twins are 2. I would like to chelate all of them, I am Rh- so had

that and a flu-shot while pregnant, etc.

The board already answered my first question (Can I do this without a physican

on board to help supervise.)

Questions:

1) is the hair test absolutely necessary. I would like to do this as cheaply

as possible or I probably won't be able to proceed at all unfortunately.

2) If I start with just the DSMA....how many rounds do I do with just DSMA

before adding the ALA?

3) I am seeing that some parents use other chelators. How do I know if my

child is having a negative reaction to one or both of these chelators and would

benefit from a different one?

4) My understanding is that if there are no metals involved with my kids then

chelation will be risk-free. If there ARE metals, then there are some risks to

chelation, although the AC protocol is fairly gentle on system. My question is:

what are the risks? What would I look for in case of a severely negative

reaction? (the primary concerns are kidney/liver failure??) not sure what to

look for in terms of monitoring their response.

5) How do I know how many rounds to do before I am finished?

6) Is it a really bad idea to do this without monitoring the kids with various

tests?

Thanks again,

jessica

1) Hair test is not necessary. It is only to convince you to chelate.

2) You don't have to start with DMSA unless there has been recent exposure, like

a vaccine or amalgam filling removal. Do you kids have any amalgam fillings? ALA

is cheaper and most important because it crosses the blood-brain-barrier to

remove metals from the brain.

3) Use ALA. You'll know if your child is having a bad reaction by their

behavior. This is usually due to the dose being too high or yeast. Both these

issues can be resloved.

4) If you follow the protocol and give the supporting supps there are no risks,

it's very safe. The most important thing is to give antioxidants while chelating

like Vitamin C and E. Chelation causes oxidative stress. Kidneys and Liver are

stressed with the large doses the DAN doctors give our kids. The low doses in

the AC protocol are very safe.

5) You are finished when your kids are " all better " . Then go a couple of months

after that. No supps, no special diet, no gut issues, etc...

6) Many of us do this without the aid of a doctor. After a while it seems you

know more than the doctors. Just go low and slow and you won't have any

problems. Make sure you have a good yeast protocol on board and give the

supporting supps.

Thanks TJ. I think I am mentally prepared...now a week of vacation and when I

get back - we're going to do this thing. I am SO EXCITED! I can't wait for my

kids to be able to digest food, for crying out loud!!

Thanks so much everybody!
