> My son is 4 yo and I just started first round of chelation yesterday. I was

going to do it once a week but I hear that some parents recommend that sometimes

every other week works better with younger kids. I give him 5mg DMSA(he

weights 36pounds)every 3 hours and he seems to be ok so far. Any word of advice

regarding schedule?

I just started with my 3 yo 2 weeks ago. We are doing Andy Cutlers dosing

schedule every 4 hours for 3 days then 11 days off. It ends up being 16 doses

and we start at 8 am so we only have 2 nights of waking him at midnight and 4am.

I think 5mg dose is good for his weight. Good luck!
