Your doctor or pharmacist can order it for you from: Wellness Health & Pharmaceuticals 2800 S. 18th St Birmingham, AL 35209 Our doctor ordered it from them for us and it was shipped to his office and we picked it up there. The brand name for DMSA is Chemet. Chemet is only available as 100 mg capsules. It is very expensive and you should be able to get it from any pharmacy if the doctor writes the prescription for 100 mg Chemet. We got it from Walgreens because my insurance had Chemet on their drug list, but not DMSA. If your city has a compounding pharmacy you should be able to get either DMSA or Chemet from them. Any compounding pharmacy can make it, in either 100 mg or 250 mg. capsules, and have it ready for you in one day. We got one prescription filled from a compounding pharmacy, and it was inexpensive to buy there. The best way to take it is one 100 mg. cap every 4 hours, even during the night, for 3 to 4 days, then skip 3 to 4 days. This is all explained as to why and what supplements to take with it in Cutler's book, " Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis, and Treatment. " It has to do with mobilizing the mercury and keeping it in suspension until peed out, so it doesn't get moved around and redeposited in some other location. Remember to drink a full glass or water before and after each capsule, and several glasses in between to flush out the mercury. You don't want it to get dropped off anywhere before it gets peed out. You have to keep reminding yourself to drink lots of water. If you are taking chelation and your pee isn't clear like water, then you aren't drinking enough water. In Andy's book, he recommends taking the DMSA for a while to draw out the body burden of mercury, then start taking the DMSA with Alpha Lipoic Acid to pull it out of the brain. He says that DMSA taken alone will not get the mercury out of the brain. I highly recommend that book. Duncan McD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
