> Bb, because of ny state law my naturo pathic is unable to test so I guess we will do a round and see what happens. She's using 250mg dmsa 2 tablets 3x per day for 5 days and rest for 9. Sounds kind of intense?
> MarkNot only intense, but insane. The ND has obviously never read the book Amalgam Illness by Phd Andrew Cutler.
If you have mercury and/or lead, those doses are going to stir up so much from storage, and then redump it fresh inside of you causing new damage and new symptoms. The half life is 4 hours. Any chelated metals that don't make it to the urine before 4 hours just get redeposited somewhere. Not cool. Feels like crap and you can get sicker than you were previously by doing that.
Safe and as effective, or more so, than what the ND said: 12.5mg every 4 hours, 4 days on, 6 days off. After a couple months of that, go to 25mg same pattern.
The amount of mercury dmsa pulls out does not increase at the same rate as the dose. if you double the dose, you pick up a little more mercury but the amount is not double. The dose doubled, but not the effectiveness. Long story short, low dose frequent dose chelation is the only safe way to chelate. Other dosing patterns may or may not work, it's kind of like a crap shoot doing it that way, but for sure is very risky. People end up worse than they were to start by chelating improperly.
It really doesn't matter what dose size you take....12.5mg or 250mg, whatever....the important thing is to take it every four hours and do not miss a dose.
