My advice is if you son has been diagnosed by a doctor that you follow that doctors’ advice as to how to lower these levels. IF he has not been diagnosed by a doctor or you for some reason are not trusting of your doctors’ advice. I would suggest you take him to see a Hematologist. A Hematologist is a doctor who specializes in disorders of the blood. This doctor may be more qualified to treat your son than a family practice doctor.
A visit to a hematologist should be covered under any insurance you might have under the second opinion clause most all insurance policies have. What is most important, from what I have read, is that you get your son treatment for this problem. For left untreated if the toxicity levels get to high they can be fatal.

I would suggest following his doctors recommendations for treatment. There are no medical doctors on this site so giving you medical advice
wouldn't be a good idea. Getting medical information from the internet can be a very dangerous thing to do & that is the best you can hope for here.
