Guest guest Posted September 9, 2000 Report Share Posted September 9, 2000 , Chelation or heavy metal detoxification is a way to remove toxins from the body--in this case, mercury. The safest and most effective way to do it is with DMSA and alpha lipoic acid. The basic protocol begins with DMSA, maybe 7 days on, 7 days off, or something like that, until mercury or any other heavy metals are removed from the body. Then the dose of DMSA changes, and lipoic acid is added to pull the mercury out of the brain. Usually the cycle is shortened at this time. Most people are doing this under a doctor's supervision because it requires periodic urine and blood tests and supplements to build up the body after chelation.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2000 Report Share Posted September 9, 2000 HI, thanks for the info although I am still unclear how DMSA is administered - is it IV, pills, liquid, shots etc? Also isn't DMSA the same thing people are using to give their children transdermal sercretin? Also how does one get the protocol fromIbelieve it was a Dr. Amy or something like that?

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2000 Report Share Posted September 9, 2000 , DMSA is given orally, on an every 4 hour schedule, usually. The stuff used to give transdermal secretin was DMSO, not DMSA - very different stuff. I think we're starting to have acronym glut, worse than the computer industry! :-) Terri At 02:31 PM 9/9/00 -0400, you wrote: -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> Free @Backup service!

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2000 Report Share Posted September 10, 2000 Some people are using DMSO not DMSA for transdermal Secretin. I am using Speed Gel to give Jen Secretin transdermally. Jen had 3 Secretin Infusions and she has been receiving Secretin transdermally for over the last year and half plus. We did had to switch from Secretin to the Serapan due to the lack of supply. I like the Speed Gel rather than DMSO because of the smell of DMSO is very strong. Speed Gel has no odor and it is no passed out through the urine. If I used DMSO ... I told Jen would not be permitted in school due to DMSO being passed out thought the urine.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2000 Report Share Posted September 10, 2000 It is in pill form. No, that is not the same stuff as the transdermal secretin. If you want Dr. Amy's protocol, your doc will have to get it from her office in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I don't have her phone number right here, but I'm sure it's in the archives.

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2000 Report Share Posted September 10, 2000 We used DMSO and it makes your kid smell like garlic! My daughter developed an allergy to it so we switched to lanolin base from a compounding pharmacy. As the kids are " normalizing " with chelation we are decreasing the secretin and will have a trial off it. We continue the melatonin 1mg at nite and N aceytl cysteine (NAC) supplements several times a week on the belief that it may obviate the need for secretin and help the brain detox. We also use vitamins and extra " C " . Best wishes, Beverly --- In egroups, " Beverly Weakley " <bridalsh@g...> wrote: > Some people are using DMSO not DMSA for transdermal Secretin.
