Confused about when to increase the ALA and when should I add DMSA

[Guest guest]

I've seen more than one post where someone has said that increasing the amount

of ALA does not increase the amount of mercury excreted. Is this true (maybe I

read that wrong)? If it does not increase the excretion, then why would you

increase the amount of ALA? Wouldn't you just stay at the 1/8 amount?

I started at 10 mg (son is approx 75 pounds). I did first 5 rounds at this then

moved up to 20 mg next 2 rounds. I've seen no negatives except a ton of yeast

and very noticeable improvements in his speech(I'm so ecstatic). Was I too

quick to increase?

Son also has some lead which was detected by a blood serum test so I know I need

to add DMSA at some point. The yeast is really bad right now so I'm going to

hold off but I was wondering if I should wait a certain amount of rounds before

introducing it. I'm also concerned about adding this because he does not

tolerate any form of sulfur (magnesium supplements, epsom salts, ...). Is there

anything to counteract this with the DMSA?

thanks

Maybe it was more like increasing the amount of ALA doesn't proportionally

increased the amount of ALA excreted (ie; double the dose doesn't mean double

the amount excreted). Increasing after 5 rounds isn't a bad move.

I can't help you on the sulfur issue since we never dealt with it. Congrats on

seeing the language improvmements; those are always so encouraging.

No, that's ok. I would get the yeast under control before increasing further.

And, be sure that the symptoms you are seeing are really yeast and not yeast and

some other things that can be treated separately (like possibly adrenal

fatigue).

There should be a file called Neutrophils, yeast and DMSA. Use that to get the

yeast under control. Then try a round with 1/8 mg/lb DMSA. It would be good to

add DMSA as soon as possible to start moving the lead out. It takes longer to

chelate lead because it is stored in bones and will only come out gradually as

the body burden is lowered.
