Re: Re: dmps & dietary issues?-Val

[Guest guest]

Val, I really agree about considering body size with dosage. And I can't

imagine, at this stage, being able to tolerate the huge chelator doses the book

talks about.

I hope your longer rounds work better.

I must be very lucky that DMSA does not upset my stomache. I'd forgotten that

could happen!

The strange thing I have noticed, which may be entirely unique to me, is that

staying on a low-dose stimulant during rounds & a day or two after, which is

dosed simultaneously with thyroid, gets my metabolism going high enough to

function, and that I notice no changes at all with 25 mg DMSA. All I have to do

is skip one dose of stimulant while chelating, however, and I realize I probably

wouldn't be able to do this at all. Without it, anything that 'overloads' me

even slightly, including the wrong kind of food, zaps every last bit of energy I

have. I've begun studying the liver detox pathways more intently in connection

with this, as well as neurohormonal function. I'm certain there are multiple

reasons for it, but I've managed to survive and cope with symptoms for many

years by exercizing & keep myself moving, and I was always certain I wasn't

getting enough blood/oxygen flow to the brain on my own. Mercury (replacing O2)

attached to RBC's doesn't seem to adequately

explain it. In time I'll be researching this more & will share it with the

group, because I believe it's critical our metabolisms are boosted at least into

a range where some detox can occur or the process will make us much sicker.

You might try sticking with plain meats (or unprocessed vegetarian

alternatives), vegetables, fruits, select fats/oils & basic grains as a trial

with one chelation round and see if it makes a difference. It doesn't take long

to experience whether it makes a difference, and you then find you're more than

motivated to make any needed dietary changes. If you're intolerant to

something, such as dairy, and don't know it, it may be interfering with your

ability to chelate, too. I looked at Dean's website recently and he's got a lot

of worthwhile dietary info to explore.

I just hope things start going better. I admire your patience.

You're absolutely right - diet is something I need to improve.

However, doing it is another matter. I have improved it somewhat -

but not totally. And actually being on 6 mg of dmps is not that

bad. I just still notice some effects with it but I guess that's

normal? I just took a nap and woke up feeling pretty good - yet I'm

still chelating? Yesterday, I was feeling kinda crappy but not

now? So, I guess its the ups and downs of chelating. And I'm kind

of a small gal - so I'm thinking small doses might suit me better?

I mean all sorts of sizes and shapes are using dmps here so a small

female wouldn't be nearly at the same dose as a big guy?

dmsa upset my stomach and I didn't want to wake up in the night to

take it. But I tried it again a few months ago and it wasn't that

bad? I think what stephanie said was right - you have all different

symptoms when you chelate. So, I'm going to stick with small doses

of dmps for now (6 mg) and I'm also going to stretch it out this

round - like 5 days instead of 3.

so confusing..
