Hi Joanne, I recommend you increase your dose more slowly as side effects can

creep up

on you and can be quite unpleasant. How much do you weigh?

odor while

taking DMSA?

Yes, DMSA is sulfur-y and you will smell it.

What are you taking for adrenal support?

accepts that reasonably well.

Have you posted your DDI hair test results here?

If you have had no recent exposure to mercury, you can start ALA (See Files

section).

Again, take it slow. You do not have to be uncomfortable during chelation, and

increasing

the dose does not result in proportionately larger pulls and speed of detox.
