Is there any possibility that you still have some amalgam hidden under

a crown or in some other location. I am just wondering why you are

having problems with such a low dose of DMSA.

Do you have gut problems. I have noticed that many people who have

difficulty with low doses do have significant gut or endocrine issues.

That is something that I would want to have input from Andy on, and he

would only be able to comment after knowing your medical history. You

may want to consider seeing one of the practitioners recommended by

Andy in the files section or asking your family doctor to consult with

Andy. Just a suggestion. I really don't know what all the factors

would be that Andy would take into account before suggesting

continuous chelation.

I had this problem in the first 6-8 months of chelation. I felt

absolutely horrible off round. In my case, this was only partly

the redistribution at the end of the round - those symptoms

passed and blurred into a general feeling of awfulness that

got worse as the off days continued.

I think it is important to follow the recommendation of doing as

many days off as on, but you might feel better by lengthening

your rounds. I did this pretty early on, increasing by one day

at a time. Sometimes it was hard to keep the round going, but

it did help. I kept up 4-5 day rounds for a long time. In the

past few months I am doing 6-7 days on and 6-7 days off.

It is not a good idea to chelate continuously with DMSA. No longer

than about 2 weeks, I think? Check Moria's site.

I think it's worth trying longer rounds to see if that solves the

problem. Increase only 1 day at a time to make sure you can

tolerate the on-round symptoms and end-of-round symptoms.

--- Thanks to everyone who commented about this!

Am taking it all on board.

I think that I may just do the ALA and DMSA 2 hourly when it comes to

that time because experimenting could be too stressful for my adrenals

for one, and I relly don't worse worsening brain symptoms if I can

avoid it. The weeks I did 4 hourly DMSA were not good.

TK....I didn't go into detail as I have written it all before. You

foilks were very generous with the advice then and I took it. It

turned out that 3 hourly just stopped all my symptoms. I have very

weak adrenals and even on maximum adrenal support I was getting

problems with 6mgs 4 hourly. As I say, that has stopped since

increasing the frequency.

And to answer someone elses question - I don't think there is any

Mercury laft inside my teeth (definitely not under a crown as I had it

completely replaced.) As I say my symptoms stopped when increasing to

3 hourly so if I DID have any mercury left, surely I would still be

getting the symptoms at 3 hourly?
