Oral DMPS 1mg to start with?

[Guest guest]

For those who have been following my dilemma regarding TD DMPS - to

take or not to take:

I decided to call the pharmacy directly and ask if they can compound

oral DMPS - they can. They can make it as small as 1 mg per capsule!

They make it in 1 mg, 5 mg, 15 mg sizes. I can use the prescription

my (DAN) doc gave me for TD DMPS of 1 mg drops made without

glutathione and amino acids for the capsules to be made. I don't know

why the doc told me the pharmacy cannot make the pills so small!

So now my question is, since the doc wanted me to start sloooowly and

carefully, (she seemed quite insistent on 1mg drops), should I still

start with 1 mg capsules or do I need to use a different dosage? I

weigh 39 kgs (85 lbs). Will 1 mg have any effect?

In my correspondence with the doctor where I asked her to reconsider

the TD DMPS for oral DMPS, she was still cautioning me not to get over

anxious about the skin rashes etc and that the yeast could be a

problem with oral - now I have that issue cleared up by the list - no

matter what, there will be yeast issues which need to be kept under

control through diet (back to SCD) and supplements.

I am not planning to start chelating right now only because I want a

competent dentist to check for any possible traces of amalgam - I just

don't trust what I heard from the dentist who messed me up last time!

But I wish to get all the information and advice beforehand so I can

at least order the right chelator.

I am waiting for various test results that I hope should come in, in

about 3 weeks time. This includes the DDI Hair Test. Maybe the lead

etc levels can then decide whether I should be taking DMSA or DMPS.

I did re-read a reply from to one of my posts on the topic,

stating that " people generally report less gut problems with DMPS " . In

this case my choice seems to lean towards DMPS even if I may have lead

issues - my Crohns history is what makes me cautious, not wanting to

disturb the gut too much.
