Re: Dosage for a 60 pound boy, DMSA

[Guest guest]

Jill,

If you are starting all over again, I would start closer to the 1/4 mgs per lb

dose (which would be 15mgs per dose). Maximum you should use is 30 mgs per dose

(1/2mg per lb). You can work up to the higher dose as you monitor what he

tolerates round to round.

I give my 65lb son 25mgs DMSA and he tolerates it just fine. To give you what

you asked for (which is always nice!), the recommended dose range is 1/8-1/2 mg

per lb per dose for oral DMSA and oral ALA. Since you have done this before, my

thought is you don't need to start at 1/8th unless chelation was a brutal

experience the first time around.

Good luck to you.

Curious. Was your son ever on the autism spectrum and did your earlier

chelation recover him?

dosage for when he weighed less.

Thank you for your help!

And yes, my son was and is still on the spectrum...but is tremendously

better...in a regular 3rd grade classroom, doing excellent work and with good

friends. He has low tone still and can stim...but has made great strides.

Chelation was very helpful; MB12 was HUGE, intranasal, and now both shots and

nasal. He has lyme and co=infections courtesy of me, congenitally, but his body

seems to have dealt with it okay. Fighting PANDAS for the first time this

winter. Always something! He was not vaxed. My mom is bi=polar/ADD; my uncle

schizophrenic, and my ex, his dad has ADD...so there is a big genetic component

here. Autoimmune. I am likely very metal toxic, am chemically sensitive.

My son has issues with social thinking mostly and feeling his body in space.

His gifts are his charm, humor, smarts, musicality...he is way more awake than I

ever knew could be possible when he was 2-3. Last night he said, " Mommy, I

think something happened to me when I was about a year old, where I wasn't like

other babies, where I wasn't as healthy. " We had an amazing

conversation...which emerged organically, about health and the environment. It

was so cool.

Thanks again and best,

Jill
