Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 DMSA can lower NK cells in some poeple, but it's usually rare. If you think this might be a problem, one way to tell is if your getting a lot of infections, colds, etc. If not, probably ok. But chelation can bring out many ODD things in the body. And it can create some immune stress. You can try some immune supporting supplements if this is the case. I am not sure what type of skin growths your mean. As in skin tags? Or something more like a tumor? This is not charactaristic though. Not that any of us have seen. > > Is it common to see unusual skin growths during chelation, & should > there be a concern with taking DMSA if something develops?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 , yes I think your right, I got confused. It is neutrophils, but I did read something somewhere about NK cells. Either way we use astralgus and echinacea which help both. Sorry for the confusion. If I find evidence on the NK thingy I will post it for you. > > As far as I know, DMSA can lower neutrophils, but I've never heard > of it lowering NK cells.
