next refill. Is that reasonable.

TK--- Yes

Also, would 6 weeks of that be pretty reasonable?

TK--- reasonable for what ?

TK--- correct

I need lower doses.

TK--- no

reasonable.

TK--- anywhere from what you are taking on up to the above dosages

for your body weight. Increase the same way you would for ALA or

DMSA to tollerance.

lengths (3-7 days) of 12.5 DMSA. I dont know, I *thikn* that I

felt better on round, with maybe some side effects off round, but

when I thought about it more, it seems like maybe not (I wasn't

doing chelation for about 2 weeks due to not being able to with

other people staying in the same room at night, and noticed the same

pattern of feeling really good some days and bad others, so I dont

know that it is truly related to chelation.)

TK--- forget about the above it doesn't apply - dmsa and dmps are

different.

> So, I am not sure what kinds of dose increases are okay. Is it

just 5 mgs every time for the DMPS, and if so how many rounds

(assuming you dont notice any significant side effects, which I have

not

TK--- Do it continously or do rounds. As dmps can be used

continually dosage depends on how well you do while taking it. If

you do a few weeks or several rounds [3-4] at 5mg and are doing fine

without side effects, then increase dosage to 10mg and do the same.

-- BUT, I want to know what is a SAFE way to do it assuming there

may be side effects but I'm just not recognizing them as connected

to the chelation.)
