AC Chelation, More Bathroom Accidents, Hyper & Low Urine Ph

[Guest guest]

Our son just completed round 6, 25 mg ALA & 25 mg DMSA, every 3 hours for both.

He weighs about 120 lbs. He had one break between round 2 & 3. No gains.

However, lately noticed more bathroom accidents during chelation rounds. We

took him to the rest room every hour or so which we increased to every 1/2 hour

without success. Also he had a bout with constipation for about ten days. A

laxaitive seemed to help that. 

 

He seems more hyper during chelation.

 

I just tested his urine Ph and it was about 6. I know we need to increase the

urine Ph to above 8 using baking soda, citrate or malate supplements. What

dosage? Every day or only during chelation rounds?

 

Any ideas about lack of gains & side affects? Thanks for any input.

After starting way too high for my approx 125# daughter, we began again w 6mg

each of DMSA and ALA. Now after many rounds we have edged up to 25mgDMSA and

approx 12mgALA. Side effects have been almost non existent w this lower dose for

us. You may want to drop the dose to a more tolerable level. Magnesium oxide[not

well absorbed] keeps the gut going here.

The usual starting dose is 1/8 mg/lb, which would be 15 mg. He may be more

comfortable at that dose or lower.

Mg can be supplemented in the citrate or malate form at the dose that is

appropriate for his weight (an adult dose is 750 mg/day in divided doses).

Supplements are taken on and off rounds.

Use 1/4 tsp baking soda or less in between meals. Or make an electrolyte drink

with baking soda and sea salt (use google to search for SCD honey lemon

electrolytes). See if he will take in more fruit and vegetables, fresh

vegetable juice.

What you are describing are side effects. It is likely that the doses are too

high for now.

Increased urination is very common and normal for chelation. This is a sign of

detoxification and its how the body eliminates metals. DMSA via urine, ALA via

stool. Usually this slows down and subsides as you get farther into chelation.

Constipation is usually yeast. Are you using any antifungals/probiotics?

Hyperness is common during chelation. Consider extra magnesium which will also

help the constipation.

Urine pH isn't necessary for frequent low dose chelation.

Side effects means its doing something. Gains can take time. You should see

something, even tiny things by round 10. Gains don't always show up on the round

either, sometimes they appear after. Keep a video journal and written log of

what you see/doses, etc. This will help you go back after 10 rounds and see what

changes have taken place. Gains are not always largely obvious.

My son also had wetting accidents the first few months. Also, gains seem to be

" hidden " at first by yeast.

At my house, all of those symptoms meant yeast overgrowth.
