Re: ALA alone??????

Hello Haven,

I remember Andy answering you that you can use ALA alone....yep. ALA is anyway

what most people end up using in their protocols. If you start slow I am sure

you will be able to see his tolerance.

Re: [ ] Re: ALA alone??????

But can you just start with ALA alone? My son had asthma attacks after IV

chelation. He has some kind of sulfur allergy (broccoli give shim hives,

but eggs are okay. It's weird).

I think Andy said ALA could be used alone, but I'm not sure.

[Guest guest]

Hello, Simone!

We did 10 rounds with DMSA, then DMSA with ALA until round 24, after which we

dropped to just ALA. We are at the highest level for my son's weight, according

to the AC protocol. We also do GAPS with BED concepts so there is a lot of

natural detox that goes along with these dietary interventions. It has been

going very well. My son does very well on round, and we chelate each weekend.

We are on round 32, currently.

Best wishes,

Fiona

Ala can be used alone, not an issue, but if your child has lead than DMSA will

be needed at some point.

Yes you can chelate with ALA alone.

> Be aware that ALA alone is a bit harder on the adrenals if that is an issue

for you.

Also, real or potential risk of using ALA right away, due to

crossing the BBB. For example, if recent mercury exposure,

it is good to delay use of ALA.

I also would like to know what the gaps and BEDS concepts are. thanks.

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We have used ALA alone since for 15 months now. We have seen wonderful results,

starting with round 1. They were subtle at first, it just seemed like we were

peaking through the fog at the boy who used to be there. I use 1/8mg per pound

of body weight.

My understandng of using ALA alone is that it is fine as long as you do not have

any dental amalgams, have not had any recent amalgam removal, and have not had

any mercury containing vaccines in the past few months. We did not have those,

and we had spent months ramping up supportive supplements and milk thistle for

liver support.

My child is actually better ON round.

I was not comfortable with NDF because the ingredients show it contains ALA

(lipoic acid) - so your dosing needs to take that into account. It is expensive

when you consider ALA costs $8 per 90 capsules.

I'm a big fan of herbal medicine, and we use herbs for many things - we use no

allopathic meds, no pharmaceuticals, but I wouldn't touch " chelating " herbs,

anymore. I've heard too many horror stories and inadvertantly seen the results.

When my son first regressed I found a " greens " supplement that I thought would

help his pH so I started to give it to him. It contained cilantro. He got worse

over time, slowly.

Also, if you have any OCD/PANDAS issues this contains strep thermophilus which

may exacerbate the condition.

I am re-reading Andy's book. Somehow my first copy disappeared (along with

my sewing kit) when we had to move things to replace our flooring, so I just

ordered it again and now I'm reading.

We are going to start a home program and this will be the perfect time to to

chelate using ALA alone. My son does have OCD, and I don't know if it is

PANDAS but he gets strep and staph infections often. I think in PANDAS you

see some really bad behaviors, but my son is very mellow and well behaved.

He did start to have a lot of anxiety in the school setting over a year ago,

and I had to start picking him up earlier and earlier or he would get very

upset and start to cry.

I think Andy said we could do in trans-dermally by just mixing the contents

of an ALA capsule (right dosage of course) with some kind of lotion and

rubbing it on his skin. I was thinking about mixing it with pure Aloe Vera

gel? Any thoughts, advice or comments?

[Guest guest]

Oh yes, that's what we need! A tube of cream with DMSA/ALA that can be applied

every 3/4 hours with a little shmear. I'm trying to figure out how my 25yo son

will do the a/c protocol while he's out and about- a small pocket tube of cream

would sure be better than carrying around pills and water and taking them in

public. Can we get Lee Silsby or one of the compounding pharmacies to work on

it?

Let's hope Lee could do it! I'd be up for a tube of ALA compounded with

aloe vera! But would still like to hear from someone knowledgeable to know

if this would work.

[Guest guest]

Andy said " High quality lotion "

We do this with our younger boy because he has a real problem with the oral

syringe.

We mix the ALA with lubriderm lotion and apply every three hours day and night.

He is making good progress.

[Guest guest]

DMSA doesn't really do too well transdermally because it is susceptible to

oxidation.

ALA will do just fine by itself.

Does your son have any amalgam fillings? If so, you need to get them removed

safely before chelation.

TJ,

So you'd have to mix each dose separately, at time of application, right? If I

emptied some caps into a cream, to last for a few rounds, I wouldn't know how

much he should apply each time.

Also, where on the body do you apply it?

I don't know of any. You can have some compounded, but they will want a

prescription even though it is considered just an antioxidant.

Compounding pharmacies don't do anything without a prescription.

We mix it at each dose. I suppose you could measure out a certain amount of

cream and then put in so many doses, and then split the cream up into that many

gobs. I think it would be a little tricky. Unless maybe you could suck it up

into an oral syringe and measure it out that way.

There must be a way to measure cream besides by the teaspoon.

An oral syringe is the way you would give medicine to an infant. They hand them

out at the pharmacy when you get antibiotics or some other liquid medicine. For

chelation you would mix the ALA, DMSA, or both with some juice, suck it up into

the syringe, then squirt it into your child's mouth.

Don't forget the treat afterwards!

All good ideas, but my son is 25! I'm looking for a small tube of ALA cream

that he could take with him in his pocket while he's out and about, or sitting

at the computer, to use every 3-4 hours. He doesn't like to be interrupted for

much, and having to get up to get water and capsules while in the middle of

something, I know isn't going to happen. I'm not always home to dose him. The

cream though would be great for the night time use. I could put a dolop on him

without waking him.

Any place special on the body?

Interesting! But it has fragrance in it, and probably other things that would

make my son itch. We need a clean product, which is easy to dose according to

ac protocol.

We put it on the back or the belly, depending on the way he is sleeping. Legs

are fine as well.

Make sure you do it every three hours, day and night for at least three days.

So pure aloe vera gel would not be high quality? It seems to me the

lubriderm would contain all kinds of chemicals. I need to know if aloe vera

is acceptable. My son has sleep issues and I can't wake him up in the

middle of the night. i just want to be able to rub it on every three

hours. And he has the problem with sulfa drugs.
