Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I think most adults have a pretty good idea whether mercury is a big problem for them or not - based on hair test, description of mercury symptoms in one of Andy's books, and history of response to exposure - amalgams, vaccines, etc. In this case, both DMPS and DMSA are reasonable choices as accessory chelators along with ALA. I think Andy believes DMPS is a better choice over DMSA, but both work. It is not unreasonable to review what Andy says in the book about lead and arsenic, since they can go along with mercury. If lead seems like a possibility, DMSA is a better choice. For arsenic, the best choice is DMPS. Other toxins are discussed in Hair Test Interpretation. I have history of worsened symptoms related to both mercury and lead exposures. My hair tests say mercury, and symptoms suggest both mercury and lead. I am reasonably certain that both are problems. Not sure about arsenic and copper. I used DMSA for 1.5 years. I have been using DMPS for about 8 months. Based on subjective experience, I would say both have done me some good. -- > > I'm sure it's true that not everyone has a lead problem.
