If I were starting over, I would use 1 mg to start with. It will

have an effect. There is no way to know whether you will feel the

effect until you try it.

If you don't feel any effect from a few rounds of 1 mg, then I would

move up to 5 mg.

If your weight is low because you have adrenal problems and are

underweight (vs. you are just a small person), be sure you have

addressed that before you start to chelate.

When I did not have Crohns I would average between 42 - 45 Kgs (95 -

102 lbs). I think my weight is low now because I have much lesser

length of the small intestine, plus I do run around a bit getting

household chores done. I am not sure if I have adrenal issues, but am

waiting to get the ACE in a couple of weeks and start with it anyways.

Do you suggest that I wait to chelate till I have started the ACE for

about two to three weeks?

You could have enough caps made up to try a round with 1 mg/dose and

if that goes well try a round with 5 mg/dose.

and chelating at the right dose.

If you have lead you could still chelate with DMPS for some time until

you feel confident that you are beyond possible gut problems and then

introduce DMSA later.

Right. The other thing about DMPS is because you don't have to wake

at night, once you figure out the right dose, you can extend rounds

longer and there will be less end of round redistribution.
