Guest guest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Most who work or whose kids are in school chelate from Friday after school until Mon morning. Depends on what works with your family's schedule.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 What about another round, does it start again on Friday afternoon? I understand you get one round (of 3 days) each week? Is it correct.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yep. we do 3 days on, 4 days off. Some also do 3 days on, 11 days off.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks a lot for your reply. Just one more question. Does chelation with DMSA suppositories work the same way, 3 days on and 11 days off. I have read that suppositories are given only once in the evening for 3 days? Is that true?

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Ive never used supositories, so others can answer this better. I believe the timing and dosing would still be the same as if you were giving it orally. Every 4 hrs for @72 hrs and 1/8 to 1/2 mg per lb.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 No, that's not true. The protocol you are describing, the " once a day " is dangerous and harmful.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Suppositories are not recommended for a variety of reasons. Dosing schedule, regardless of route, needs to be based on the half-life of the chelator, which for DMSA is every 4 hours day and night for at least 3 days on and as many off.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Many Thanks. That makes sense. It is exactly what I have been thinking. I guess the best option is DMSA pills. However, my boy still can't swallow pills, would that be ok if i keep mixing DMSA in his pear puree?

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Thanks, I will have a look. I have ordered AC books, I hope to find many answers there. I am so new to chelation and terrified to harm my child. But what about urine metal challenge test, I want to use one DMSA suppository just to see how much metals are coming out. Would that one suppository be ok, just for this test sake???

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ruta, I was also SO scared to chelate. After the first round, I was kicking myself for not starting earlier. Start with the low dose (1/4 mg per lb is what I did) and give it every 4 hours. It is more common to see nothing, or positives, rather than negatives if done this way... not regression. Don't bother with the challenge tests. We all have mercury in our body from daily environmental exposure. Anyone, Autism or not, will excrete mercury/lead if given a chelator and asked to pee in a cup. It won't tell you anything important and the odds of metal redistribution leading to some type of regression is high with a challenge test. Plus, it is just a snapshot in time. My son *never* showed much of anything coming out on the random urine tests but has continued to work his way off the spectrum. Instead of seeing lines on a piece of paper showing mercury and lead, I saw overnight potty training, loss of sensory problems, conversational language, etc. That is what you are looking for. Take care. Enjoy the books. This is not as hard as it looks.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 That is OK. The taste/smell isn't great. I would mix it up dose by dose and not ahead of time, but that isn't hard. If/when you add in ALA, I found mixing it in food tricky. ALA is kind of shard-like and led to some coughing jags. Work on the pill swallowing. It opened up our WORLD! Pam > > Many Thanks.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hi Pam, Thanks for encouragement. It was much needed! I just have this gut feeling how my son will blossom if I do proper chelation. Could you please also advise which brand is the best to use for DMSA chelation. I will have to buy this product online.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Honestly, it happened so easily for me. I just gave him the smallest gel cap I could find (it was a wild Oil of Oregano capsule) and asked him to swallow it. He quickly moved on to larger pills. My son was 6. At age 4, when I started chelation, he was a big chewer. His first instinct was to chew anything put in his mouth, and I was unable to get him to swallow pills. I'll admit I didn't try too hard. Some people buy Pearls, a probiotic, for pill swallowing teaching because they are teeny. Popping the pill in and drinking water through a straw instead of from the glass seems to help. There websites dedicated to this, I'm sure. Pam > > > > Many Thanks. That makes sense. It is exactly what I have been thinking. I guess the best option is DMSA pills.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Don't do the challenge test. It can be harmful and the information it provides is not useful. The hair test is the best test if you must have a test. Many people do a ten round trial of chelation and see if they get some results.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I had an MD who prescribed DMSA from Kirkman Labs. Now, I buy from vrp.com. 25 mgs capsules is what I use, but you decide what you want to buy based on how you are dosing. You can divide the capsules quite easily.
