Chelating - Redistribution / DMSA / adding ALA

July 29, 2007

I have been chelating with DMSA. I got up to 25mg per dose and was

doing fine with that for 3 rounds. So I then upped to 37.5mg dose.

I had very bad emotional/mental side effects for the 2 days after my

round ended. So I'm going back down to 25mg per dose.

My questions are…

Does that mean the mercury redistributed to my brain?

I am a poor excreter, is it that my detoxification paths (whatever

they may be – I guess liver & kidneys) cannot handle passing that

much mercury? Is that why I can't handle a larger dose of DMSA?

How do I know when it's time to go up in dosage? Just try again in a

few rounds?

Also, when my body starts dumping mercury from my tissues – if I

can't get my DMSA levels up enough – will there be a lot of

redistribution from the tissue dumping alone? What will the Mercury

do, store itself in other previously unaffected parts or redistribute

back to where it just got dumped from or possibly both? And then I

guess my blood levels would go up too and ALA would be a bad idea b/c

it could take mercury into brain?

Is there an optimal level of DMSA to be on before starting ALA?

Also, I am a little more than 3 months post amalgam removal and

figure it's time to start the ALA. Well, I'm scared. Since I've had

such emotional/mental reactions to DMSA does that mean it will get

worse before it gets better with ALA? (I'm afraid of cracking.) I'm

thinking that if DMSA isn't chelating my brain but can effect my

emotions so that it's going to be really hard with ALA. Am I

figuring this right?
