DMSA hard on the liver?

[Guest guest]

A quick question .... I was reading on I believe it was Moira's site

that said while ALA is helpful to the liver, DMSA is hard on the

liver. In what way ... and are people developing liver problems while

on it? Should I decide to use DMSA ... this concerns me. Lord knows my

liver has been through enough abuse in my bad old days.

DMSA is not hard on the liver when used appropriately.

ALA is particularly helpful for the liver.

Both are helpful to the liver in the sense that they remove mercury

and other toxins that interfere with liver function (among other things).

If you're concerned about liver effects, just use small doses. I'm 180

pounds, and have stuck to 12.5 mg every 3 hours, 3 days on and 4 days off.

That's 100 mg per day. At that dose, I can't imagine there would be any

liver problems, side effects are minimal, and I'm getting good results.

Also, I recall Andy saying that the rate of metal removal is proportionate

to the square root of the amount taken, so bigger doses do not remove metals

much more quickly. So if I were to take double the dose, the metals would

only be removed 40% faster.

I prefer the way of the tortoise -- slow and easy wins the race.

Re: DMSA hard on the liver?

The low dosing on this protocol should not cause any issues. You

should also be using milk thistle daily while chelating and probably

all the time. Mercury toxic people need liver help anyway.

DMSA is probaby no worse on the liver than tylenol and people gulp

that down without thinking about it.

Three chelating in my house, so far no liver problems..if that helps.
