Re: When to raise the dose of DMSA

[Guest guest]

As long as there is no recent exposure like amalgam removal, or vaccinations, or

environmental exposure like lead paint in your house;

There is no reason to wait to add ALA. Many do, but it is not neccessary.

Also, you can raise the dose by 50% if he is tolerating it well.

Subject: [ ] When to raise the dose of DMSA

 

I am currently chelating my sone w/ 6.25 mg of DMSA every 4 hours round the

clock, three days on, four days off (will be on Round #4 this weekend).

Supporting supplements are on board and he seems to be doing well with it. It

appears to be the one intervention that produced immediately recognizable

results. We have been GFCFSF since March of this year (at the time of diagnosis

of PDD-NOS). My son is almost 5.5 and weighs 54lbs. Up until this point, we have

seen slow and steady encouraging progress but no immediate " WOW! "

I am not trying to rush as I appreciate the importance of slow and steady but

this is the bottom dose for his size. His heavy metal test showed elevated lead

levels and I want the treatment to be as effective as possible since we are a

little late to the game at this age.

My question is if anyone has any advice on the timing as far as when and in

fact, if I should raise the dose of DMSA. I do plan to add ALA as well but that

presents another question. When do I know that the body burden it at a level

where I can safely add the ALA?

It may be that I need to test his lead level again before starting the ALA but I

would really appreciate any thoughts or opinions on these two questions.

Thank you in advance for your time in responding. I read daily the digest and

have learned alot from everyone.

Thank you TJ. He did not get his Kindergarten vaccines or any flu vaccines last

winter so it has been more than a year and a half if not longer.

I will add the ALA when I start the next round this evening. Thanks again.

Hi TJ or Dana,

Our painter just have our car porch and fencing paint scrapped on Friday and in

fact on the same day we added in 2.5mg ala to our daughter's chelation round

(She was on 6.25mg dmsa for the past 3 rounds). All these while, we saw paint

kept chipping off from the wall and that is why we decided to paint the carporch

and fencing only.

I wonder how the paint chipping off and scrapping the paint would affect affect

my daughter. What should i do now ?

Regards,

Was there lead in the paint?

How old is the house? I believe they took lead out of paint in the 70's. You can

look it up.

Also, scraping it is much better than sanding it. Make sure you don't cause dust

that can be inhaled.
