Dr. Jaquelyn McCandless
Jaquelyn McCandless received her Doctorate in Medicine
at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and
is certified as a Diplomate of the American Board of
Psychiatry and Neurology. She has been in private
practice in Southern California since 1966. Since the
early 1990抯, Doctor McCandless?interest in women抯
issues and sexuality led to an alternative medicine
practice with a focus on brain nutrition, anti-aging,
and natural hormone therapy. She and her husband,
mathematician and educator Jack Zimmerman, PhD have
conducted relationship workshops for years, publishing
> a book on their exploration of the spiritual dimension
> of intimacy in 1998, Flesh and Spirit: The Mystery of
> Intimate Relationship (Bramble Books). They have been
> married 27 years and have between them eight children
> and thirteen grandchildren.
>
> In 1996 after their grandchild was diagnosed with
> autism, Jaquelyn returned back intensely to basic
> medicine in response to the complexity of Chelsey抯
> disorder and began working with the biomedical aspects
> of developmentally delayed children. Jack turned his
> visionary educational interests even more toward the
> council process in schools and the exploration with
> other innovative educators of inclusion programs in
> response to the overwhelming increase in the numbers
> of special needs children entering our school systems
> now.
>
> Jaquelyn now utilizes the knowledge she gained
> exploring and using treatments for her grandchild to
> help other ASD children, including writing the book
> she so desperately needed when this aspect of her
> current life-journey started five years ago.
>
> Q: Dr. McCandless, thank you so much for your
> generosity. I know all of the parents greatly
> appreciate your work. My son is 5yo, Aspergers, and
> VERY high functioning - Doing bio med for 2 years.
> What treatments do you use in your practice to
> increase eye contact and attention? Also, Can you
> comment on your preference for chelation (TD DMPS v TD
> DMSA) and the TD DMPS, TD DMSA alternating protocol?
> Do you give minerals every day or every other day? I
> know different Doctors use different schedules for
> supplementing. Thank you so much!
>
> A: I don抰 use td-dmps, I had a few kids that had
> severe enuresis that didn抰 stop even after they
> stopped td-dmps. I抦 finding td-dmsa very successful.
> For td-dmps I give minerals every day. In terms of eye
> contact, the diet needs to be strict, we need to
> chelate the heavy metals out, and get the right
> nutrients in these kids to heal.
>
> Q: Thanks for being here tonight. I have a two part
> question
> (1) What does developing severe dandruff and white
> scaling skin on eyelids indicate?
> My son developed this after regular EDTA baths and a
> supplement with malic acid and Vit D.
> What can it be possibly due to? I have stopped EDTA
> baths and the supplement
> but the symptoms persist.
> (2)What you would suggest to decrease the high mercury
> and lead metal load in an HFA adult
> with 2 fillings and no amalgams, who has no access to
> removing the fillings
> (lives in a country where no such facilities are
> available).
>
> A: 1) I have no idea what that indicates, I haven抰
> seen that before in my kids. Maybe try stopping the
> baths and see if the symptoms persist. Take the child
> to a dermatologist. 2) I would use natural chelators,
> not dmps or dmsa, if you have mercury amalgams.
> Cilantro, clay baths, high selenium are some natural
> alternatives.
>
> Q: I started my child on Valtrex today. Should I see
> positive or negative results right away? What kind of
> results am I looking for? Does his dose sound
> correct- he is 8 years old and 55 pounds and is on 250
> mg 3 times a day. Is there a better dosage that you
> prefer?
>
> A: With Valtrex for that size child, 500 mg 2x a day.
> Go on to 1500 after a couple weeks. I usually test a
> child first ?Immunosciences viral test. We can never
> kill off the viruses, we can suppress them.
>
> Q: Hello Dr. McCandless - I have a 3 year old
> daughter who is mod/severely autistic. My DAN has
> prescribed oral EDTA capsules (125mg) for chelation,
> and has advised to take one capsule a day. He does
> not want to add any other chelators. He just wants to
> use hair analysis to measure toxic metal output. Is
> EDTA sufficient on its own to chelate (I am hoping for
> recovery), and is hair analysis sufficient to measure
> toxic metal output? Thanks!
>
> A: I would have to hear what was on her testing. If
> she showed a lot of lead, edta capsules are
> appropriate. Lead hides mercury, and it makes sense to
> get lead out first. Hair analysis is not the best
> measure - urinary from Doctor抯 Data is the best.
>
> Q: Will oral EDTA cause yeast problems?
>
> A: Not usually. A lot of kids have yeast problems
> anyway, and you may think it抯 the EDTA, but EDTA is
> not famous for causing yeast problems.
>
> Q: Hi Dr. McCandless, thanks for joining us tonight.
> A question for lauricidin: We tried lauricidin last
> month and my son appeared more spacey, more wild
> giggling/meaningless babbling/visual stims, complained
> tummy hurt and woke up in the mid of night, is that
> some side effects you have ever observed? We also
> doing TD-DMPS so is it OK to give Lauricidin while is
> on TD-DMPS?
>
> A: I have not seen this time of reaction with
> lauricidin. Some kids need to start with just a couple
> pellets twice a day. The giggling and babbling almost
> always is yeast. Try an organic acid test to see if he
> has yeast, then start lauricidin and work up slowly.
> It can be given with anything, and given continuously.
>
> Q: Dr McCandless, Do you feel it is necessary to
> have yeast "under control" before beginning TD-DMSA or
> is it generally okay to begin while yeast is still an
> issue? I feel like if we wait for the yeast to be
> under control, we'll never chelate. FWIW, we are
> GFCFSF and are transitioning to SCD. Also, what
> dose of glutamine would you recommend for a 20 lb "gut
> kid"? Thank you so much for your time and dedication
> to our children.
>
> A: We should have yeast somewhat under control. If
> your child has diarrhea/constipation, don抰 start
> chelation. Especially if constipated. The toxins in
> the gut with dysbiosis means the child is not
> absorbing what is needed. So it is important to get
> yeast under control, although not completely
> eradicated.
>
> Q: My 5-yr old daughter got respiratory infection
> recently. She got a few IV antibiotics and oral
> steroids in hospital. She is fully recovered now. What
> interesting is that her attention is much better than
> before, so I am not sure whether that related to the
> IV antibiotics. I heard about some Dan doctors put
> oral antibiotics in their protocol to kill the virus.
> Is there any test we could run to find out whether
> regular IV antibiotics will help the child? What
> would be the possible side effect?
>
> A: Probably the antibiotics cleared out a lot of bugs
> in her system. Kids will sometimes get better for a
> while. Make sure to give lots of high-potency
> probiotics, stay away from sugar, so she doesn抰 get
> the bugs back. Steroids cut down the inflammation.
> They also injure the immune system. They should only
> be used for emergency.
>
> Q: From amino acid results it showed that toxic
> ammonia levels is suspected. How does one get toxic
> ammonia levels? Do you use Alpha-ketoglutaric acid
> and what's your experience with this?
>
> A: When amino acid tests show ammonia is high, that is
> from gut bugs, the by-product of gut bugs. Alpha
> ketoglutaric acid, two capsules a day, will get the
> ammonia down. Cut out the sugar, heal gut with natural
> or drug (diflucan, flagyl).
>
> Q: Dr JM-for a kiddo who has "almost" recovered
> except for speech delay and some anger issues (Dr
> Green suspects viral~PANDAS~or other) what would your
> preference be for treatment? Valtrex? Acyclovyr, or
> other?
>
> A: If Dr Green suspects pandas, he should do a strep
> or viral panel, before doing things. Dr Green is an
> excellent doctor. Ask him to get some panels, to see
> what抯 bothering your child. Pandas and viral panel
> are pretty easy to do. I would use Valtrex if you do
> treat, Acyclovyr is only 1/6th as strong.
>
> Q: My son is 3 1/2, non verbal ASD. SO far not
> responding to bio med after 1 yr. We have been
> fighting yeast and have used nystatin and diflucan,
> also gf/cf/sf and have tried SCD. We still have yeast
> issues. I don't want to use another prescription, what
> supplements are best to fight yeast and also won't
> interfere with chelation? Do you have experience with
> the Low oxalate diet? How is it for kids with yeast?
> Better than SCD? My son has food sensitivities, so it
> seems impossible to combine the 2.
>
> A: Most yeast outsmarts nystatin. If diflucan is not
> working, do a stool test. The best supplements to
> fight yeast, huge amounts of high potency probiotics.
> Remove all sugar, including fruit, from diet. Low
> oxalate diet does help a certain subset of kids
> marvelously. If your kid has yeast problems over and
> over, I would suggest the low oxalate diet. There are
> so many diets ?keep trying until you find what works
> for your child. Try combining the diets, even with
> sensitivities there are enough diets that you can find
> a combination that works.
>
> Q: Have you seen any differences in patients
> reactions to TD-DMSA from Coastal and the TD-DMSA from
> Lee Silsby - are there differences in terms of how
> well they are responding and bad reactions like
> diarrhea? Thank you so much.
>
> A: Lee Silsby was first to make td-dmsa, I used that,
> it was really good, but expensive and proprietary.
> When I heard that Coastal was making it, I starting
> transferring my patients. Tyrus at Coastal is
> wonderful. Coastal is not proprietary. A lot of kids
> are responding very well. The transdermals don抰 cause
> the yeast issues that oral chelators do.
>
> Q: Do you have kids who are overweight? Could all
> the supplements we give our children make them
> overweight? (His thyroid is OK.)
>
> A: The two that were overweight had low thyroid, I put
> them on low doses of armor thyroid, and they got more
> active and slimmed up. Take temperature every morning
> before he urinates or eats ?if below 97.6 3 out of 4
> mornings, thyroid is low. Make sure the kids get lots
> of exercise, don抰 let them be couch potatoes.
>
> Q: My son has a few small areas of broken capillaries
> high on his cheeks which appeared a year or two after
> starting autism biomedical interventions. Have you
> found any special significance to these broken facial
> capillaries in children with autism?
>
> A: One other parent told me her child had that, but I
> don抰 know what causes it. If I find out any special
> significance, I will certainly put it on the list.
>
> Q: I loved your book and what is hard for me is
> sorting through all possible causes for my son's
> difficulties. I just feel overwhelmed & don't know
> where to start. The most pressing issues have been
> aggression/behavioral stuff. One clue may be in the
> blood work, which showed odd patterns over a 2-year
> period (hasn't been tested in the last year, but I
> have no reason to believe these numbers have "cleared
> up"):
> WBCs have been running 4.4-4.6 w/ a reference range of
> 5.5-13.5
> segs 23-33 reference range 50-75
> seg # 1.0-1.9 with reference range 2.0-7.3
> lymphs 55-66 reference range 20-45
> Does this speak "virus" to you, or something else?
> What step would you advise first? Already doing better
> with diet/ supplements, but feel there's still
> something "underlying".
>
> A: As we chelate the white blood cells start
> normalizing. I would test first and see what抯 going
> on. If you suspect viruses, get a viral panel. In the
> meantime, give lauricidin, a natural anti-viral. Start
> low, just a few pellets. For 50 lb child, 2 scoops a
> day, but start slowly with just a few pellets a day.
> Get your child on a restricted diet; then proper
> nutrients; then MB-12 and LDN; then chelate; then look
> at viruses.
>
> Q: Hi Dr. JM. My 4 year old Asperger son has
> excessive mucus. Frequently spits slimy/sticky mucus
> that before gf/cf was maroon color, now clear. Also
> excessive mucus in stools, and mucus in urine. Seems
> to get worse in cycles, not food related. No one can
> say what it is; DAN says probably leaky membranes.
> Have you ever seen this? Biomed has decreased it, but
> still a problem. Thanks!
>
> A: Some kids do have excessive mucus, I don抰 know
> why. I would guess the secretory igA is very high, the
> body is trying to coat the gut with mucus so the
> pathogen doesn抰 get in. So cut out sugar; give proper
> nutrients; treat gut bugs. That抯 more or less a
> speculation, because I don抰 know why there is
> excessive mucus.
>
> Q: Hi Dr. JM could you please comment on long term
> antibiotic treatment for an autistic child now
> diagnosed with lyme. My child was just diagnosed with
> lyme He is 5 years old gf/cf/sf/eggfree 2 1/2 years
> mb12, glutathione myriad of supplements chelating
> with td-dmsa and using ldn with beautiful social
> results. This week he was on antibiotics for a chest
> infection and he was so connected like a different
> child Thank you!
>
> A: The temporary wonderful effects from antibiotics is
> because the bug pathogen infestation is relieved for a
> while. But the effects don抰 last too long. I can抰
> comment on long-term antibiotic treatment, except that
> it kills off the good bugs along with the bad.
>
> Q: Thank you so much for your work and book Dr.
> McCandless. My daughter has been on LDN since mid
> August, we are seeing good socialization, we were
> hoping to see improvement in gut, but we are still
> seeing lots of loose stool. Her mercury levels and
> aluminum levels are extremely high, lead is also high.
> Do you think the LDN will help with gut healing in
> this situation, should we begin chelation or work on
> gut healing before starting chelation? Her stool was
> not as bad on raw goat milk kefir, but we stopped all
> dairy at this time. We are doing probiotics, enzymes,
> vit. and minerals. Thanks for your comments.
>
> A: I don抰 think you should wait. Malic acid will get
> aluminum down, or ALA. But if you have high mercury,
> you don抰 want to give ALA yet. You should begin gut
> healing, then chelation. LDN doesn抰 interfere with
> anything else ?it抯 designed to help the immune
> function better. It will not help gut healing, it will
> not chelate. So get the gut in shape, then use td-dmsa
> to get lead and mercury. For those that use td-dmps,
> they have to use edta for the lead because td-dmps

>
> Q: First, Thank you so much for taking the time to
> talk to us, your expertise is so much appreciated. Q:
> My 3 yr old son is on a long list of supplements and
> I'm able to get most in by hiding it in his food. The
> one I'm having the most trouble getting in him is
> SuperNuThera, he took it no problem for the first 6

> alternatives for a strong multivitamin as a
> replacement for SuperNuThera?
>
> A: You have to get vitamins and minerals in him before
> you start chelating. Try Brainchild, that抯 excellent.
> Some kids take that when they don抰 take supernuthera.
> I use tough love ?I get the vitamins/minerals in

> him, then give him vitamins/minerals firmly and
> lovingly. But do try a different brand first. There is
> a cup you can buy, you put a pill in it and they
> swallow it. Age 3 is a little young to swallow pills.
>
> Q: Hi Dr. I have a 3 yr old who has been on td-dmps
> since August, we showed moderate levels of mercury on
> challenge, we did not use double dose for challenge.
> Since switching to Lee Silsby formula we are seeing

> Could you elaborate on what you've seen with td-dmps?
> Also, my son has a bad reaction to vit. A at any dose,
> any idea why this could happen? Thanks.
>
> A: No, not if you抮e seeing good results. My patients

> You might try a different form of vitamin A then what
> you抮e using now.
>
> Q: Hi Dr. McCandless, my son is taking armour thyroid
> 15mg 2x/day, we see in 20-30 mins after the
> administration he shows cranky and bad temper,
> crying/kicking for no reason, It however won't last
> long. We thought it could be the td-dmps but now we
> isolate that it's the armour. We stopped it for a few
> days and after the TDDMPS he had no problem. We added
> in today and that crankiness came back, just in 20
> minutes. Any thought? (my son has high TSH, he's
> 42inches but 38 lbs only)
>
> A: I would be concerned if he抯 having a bad reaction
> to armour, he might not need it. You can have it
> compounded into smaller doses. 30 mg a day might be
> too much for your child. Given his weight, the 30
> might not be too much per day, but try giving smaller
> doses, like 7 mg 4x/day.
>
> Q: My daughter is 7 yrs old. She will not eat any
> fruit or veggies. Must hide in her pancakes, meatloaf,
> etc. She is GFCF. What is your suggestion for
> constipation that began toward the end of the first 6
> weeks of administering MB12?
>
> A: I don抰 believe the constipation is due to mb-12.
> It抯 almost always related to yeast, and not getting
> enough fiber in diet. Since she抯 not eating
> fruit/veggies, you need to find creative ways to get
> her to eat that. Give her high doses of high potency
> probiotics to treat the yeast.
>
> Q: Our 50 pound son was recently started on LDN at
> 1.5mg nightly. Is this enough or should we increase
> the dose? Do you generally start this at a low dose
> and then move up? We're seeing a nice jump in
> language and he is waking up in a better mood too!!
> Also, do you think acyclovir is as good as valtrex?
>
> A: When I started my study, I started everyone on 3
> mg. Most did well; but some needed to go to much
> smaller doses. Now I have people start with 1.5mg. If
> your child is not showing any reaction, go up a little
> at a time until you get to 3 mg. If they have a
> reaction, go down in dosage. If you see a nice jump in
> language, probably a good dose. Valtrex is 6 times
> stronger then acyclovir. If you have insurance, go for
> Valtrex. Acyclovir is just not strong enough.
>
> Q: I tried MSM with my son and he began stimming (
> constant arm movements) which he NEVER had prior.
> This also happened when he decided to try scrambled
> eggs (constant finger flicking) and ate several over a
> two week period. The stimming disappeared a week or
> two after stopping MSM/eggs. What does this mean???
> Allergy or yeast???
>
> A: Most of our kids need sulfur, but some can抰 handle
> it. Eggs have sulfur too. Your child might be
> intolerant to sulfur. I think you need to cut out eggs
> and sulfur products. Usually they get over this. He
> might just be overdosed on it right now. He might
> also have a bad reaction to Epsom salt baths.
>
> Q: Hi Dr. McCandless. Is there any benefit to going
> above 3 mg of LDN daily as our doctor had suggested?
> We saw some good results with the LDN at 3 mg. (My
> son is 52 pounds.)
>
> A: I don抰 think you need to go over 3 mg at 52
> pounds. More might not be better. I suspect you抮e at
> a proper dose. This is a drug you can experiment with
> ?it抯 non-toxic. So if you want to try slightly
> higher, you can.
>
> Q: are there any tests that would indicate that TTFD
> or authia cream would be warranted? what about metal
> free or NDF? with respect to Vitamin A-- what is the
> right level for kids (per pound?) Are there other ways
> to get it beyond Cod liver oil? What about
> Pantontheric acid for eye symptoms?
>
> A: There aren抰 any except to test thiamine. 30% of
> kids have a thiamine deficiency, and they respond
> wonderfully to authia. Helps get out cadmium, arsenic,

> I don抰 know anything about pantothenic acid for eyes.
> We need pantothene for metabolic function.
>
> Q: I have tourette syndrome and undiagnosed sensory
> processing disorder. I'm on MB12 shots and currently
> chelating via TDDMPS and noticing great benefits with
> sensory issues. Have you seen any results with
> chelation and tics? For ones with multiply foods,

>
> A: Yes I抳e seen tics go down with chelation; and with

> lauricidin, grapefruit seed extract, uva ursi,
> Echinacea will all help. Getting metals out will help
> immune. Eliminating viruses will help immune. Test and
> see if you need treatment for viruses, or pandas.
> Vitamins need to be given as you chelate. Vitamin
> deficiencies do get better as you get the heavy metals
> out.
>
> Q: We are thinking of having our 2.5 yr old asd son

>
> A: He does do urine organic acid ?I sent him a child

>
> A: If he抯 living on French fries he抣l stay nonverbal

> Q: Dr. M - it sounds like everybody knows so much

> Q: My 4 y.o. son has been on td dmps for approx. 6
