Re: starting chelation need advice

[Guest guest]

what happens if i take a dose a little bit too late, lets say dmsa

after 4 hours and 15-20 minutes? Stop the round or continue?

How do i know that my dosage is too high? What would happen?

That's fine.

Yes.

If you are able to complete 3 days, that is recommended. If you feel

the symptoms are intolerable, then stop. If you are unsure, you can

post the details and ask for advice.

> 4. What should i do if i miss a dose?

If you miss by more than an hour, stop the round.

> 5. I am very sensitive and have adrenal problems. Is 12.5mg

Are you on adrenal support? 12.5 mg is a good starting dose for

many people, but if you feel you are sensitive, you can start

with 6.25 mg.

It varies. Some people feel better on chelators. There is no way

to know what it will be like for you until you start. This is why

you start with a low dose - it will keep any side effects minimal.

It is possible. 3 hours is a reasonable starting point if you think

this is an issue.

how do i know if i need to do dmsa more often than 3 hours? Have

taken my 3 third dose (every 3 hours) and feel better. No problems so

far... still afraid of redistribution tough

I started off dosing DMSA every 4 hours. I noticed that about 30-45 minutes

before the next dose , I would start feeling generally lousy, sort of

'inflamed', weak, etc (your symptoms may be different). When I took the next

dose, these symptoms would improve rather quickly. I moved to dosing every 3

1/2 hours, but still sometimes I would have a period of feeling lousy before

the next dose. Now I just dose every 3 hours and it is much better. I still

do 4 hours at night and that seems ok. I guess perhaps the DMSA metabolizes

a bit slower while sleeping, or maybe I just don't notice feeling worse

because I'm asleep..

So, you can tell when you feel this sort of pattern whether your doses are

close enough together.

i understand... but i guess the 4 hours schedule recommended by

cutler still has some nice margin of safety that will protect you

from serious damage. Right?

the more often you take the chelators the better obviously

You can miss it by one hour. So 4 hours and 20 minutes if fine. Once

you get past five hours though, you have to end the round.

Your dose would be too high if you get sick taking it.

You would feel lousy, be really tired for example..you'll know if it'

s too high. 12.5 mg should be fine though. My four year old takes

that amount as do I.

The bottle is fine.

It's no problem opening and splitting the capsules up and then using

them later on. DMSA only loses potency if you mix it with liquids or

foods. If it's in capsules in the bottle..it's fine.

Side effects would be minimal at that dose. I was tired for my first

day on chelation, and didn't feel like eating. That was about it.

After the first five rounds..that went away. Now I usually feel fine

on it. Increase vitamin C if you do feel tired.

In my personal opinion...I have had prescriptions that made me

sicker than this stuff. This was like nothing really.

If you experience side effects that are not tolerable, you can

reduce your dose or stop the round.

You can do a four hours schedule since you don't know if you

metablize it faster or not. You will be able to tell by side

effects, if they appear close to when it's time for another dose.

Such as at the three hour mark, then you can change to three hour

dosing. We are chelating three of us, and so far all do fine with

four hours. three hours is only essential if you are using ALA.

--- I started on DMSA 6mgs every four hours. I suffered from headaches

and adrenal problems for the whole of the first two rounds of this and

had a dramatic improvement when I went to 3 hourly.

I don't know if it's at all relevent but I metabolise hydrocortisone

very quickly too.

Changing from 4 hourly to 3 hourly has made all the difference to me

and I have been able to increase my doses of DMSA as a result.
