Dear Moria, listmates and dear Andy,

Thank you for providing the protocol info. I think my son may be ready to
start DMSA and ALA now. I will retest his hair before I start. I want to
share a little bit of my experience about the natural chelation which is
why I say my son may be ready to start DMSA+ALA. On Jan. 4th this year, I
started to bio-chemically treat my son. That time he was 2 year and 9 month
old. Prior to this data, my son didn't get any treatment, I was just
frustrated and didn't know how to start. Anyway, the hair sample collected
on this date showed he had 1.2ug/g mercury versus 0.4ug/g reference. I
started to give him some compounding vitamin and doing gfcf diet. From May
12th, I got a liquid cilantro extract and started to gave him. May 29th,
his second hair test showed 4.6ug/g mercury data. I consulted several
doctors and was told my son's mercury is coming out. Now I have put him on
this cilantro extract almost 3.5 months and I think it is time for moving
further. I do supple many supplements to him at the same time. He is low
of every nutrient minerals, like zinc, copper, selenium,ect and extremely
high for some elements like sodium and potassium, boron. I really don't
know what the boron is. His toxic level is over 100%. Here is the data:

I want to share this info to the group and also want to ask dear Andy to
give me some suggestion what the proper dose of DMSA and ALA I should give
to my son. I always consider of safety issue. My son is damaged by the
vaccines for sure. I got 2 MMR and 3 DT three months before the pregancy,
one flu shot during the pregancy and before my boy turned 2 he had total 19
shots. MMR really caused his dramatically behavior change. But I don't
think it is just because of one MMR, it is because of all the toxin I had
dumped to him. Poor little guy.

Take good care, everyone!

Dear Ping,

Well, um, yeah, it sounds like your son has mercury poisoning
all right! I would expect he would benefit from chelation.
Details about the various protocols is a big subject.
I don't feel up to typing quite that much (it would be pages).

Let's see---- overall I'd say that most people on this list
use DMSA first for a while, then use DMSA + ALA.

It is recommended to take/give the DMSA every 4 hours INCLUDING AT
NIGHT. This is discussed a great deal here on this list. Some
people take/give the DMSA every 8 hours (which does NOT require
getting up at night), but this has bad results for some people,
so the "every 4 hours" is thought to be safer.

The general idea is that you give/take the DMSA for a few days in
a row, then you stop, to give the body time to rest, repair and
recuperate. You don't give the DMSA every day. People refer to
this as a "cycle", and people use "cycles" of different lengths.
3 days on and 4 off is one. 3 days on and 11 off is another.
Those are examples.

I hope this is some help, although I have not explained it all!
Please ask questions about the parts you want to know more about.
Some things will also be more clear from other discussions.
There are a lot of details.

By the way, ALA also chelates arsenic.

best,
Moria
