TK--- with DMSA or ALA the suggested max round is 14 days - with just DMPS in low dosages continually. For a select few who are doing low doses of DMSA and or ALA that do much better on round than off, these few could do longer rounds - I recommend that most people stick to shorter rounds with DMSA & or ALA. For low dose DMPS I suggest continual chelation if you do better on round. I saw some posts a few months ago > about continuous chelation.

TK-- As long as this does not make you worse and you are not going beyond 4hr for ALA it is ok - ALA 4 hr max then you need to discontinue, DMSA 5hr, DMPS 9hr I know to discontinue > the round if I miss a dose by more than that. > > Thanks, > > > > > I am on my 9th round, most rounds 7 days.
