Go to the above group and, after you've joined, post that question.

I'm sure you'll get a slew of responses corraborating your son's

reaction, since I first heard of this response on that list. I've

heard the same thing from adults who've chelated themselves for known

levels of hg-- they feel clear, calm, better than they have in years.

I've heard that this can vary over the course of a long treatment as

the body prepares big " mercury dumps " and goes for periods without

expelling much of anything and then another big spill, etc..

I'm not a big fan of mercury challenges. I don't really see the point

and some kids react badly from what I've heard, possibly because it's

too much chelator at once and the kidneys can't handle the amount of

metals which get pulled in a short period. So check out this site for

the more gradual approach.

Yes, some of our kids seem better on the DMSA, probably due to the sulfur content.

I have a question regarding DMSA

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this. My son went to his first Dan appointment. The doctor recommended my son have urine test for mercury and organic acid test. My son needed to take six pills ( DMSA) and than collect his urine for 6 hours. My question is the doctor said, my son may become very irritated, and maybe have a few meltdowns etc... because the DMSA will make the mercury come out and move about the body. So I was preparing myself for the worst... But I got the total opposite ...... My son was so good, even the look in his eyes was different. He was calm, he was even able to sit at the table to eat with his father. Something he never does. I did not have to give him any Gaba, Taurine, Melatonin, he went to bed with no problems. Even in school the next day they said he had a really great day. But I can see now after a few days he seems to be going back to the way he was. Not sleeping, noise and other people brothe him. I was wondering if anyone has every seen that kind of reaction with DMSA? Thanks Janice
