Re: DMPS Chelation Side effects?

[Guest guest]

Doug,

Yes I have experience some of the things you

are having except watery eyes. Due to the Andy

book water eyes are a sign of mercury toxins.

I also have thyroid problems which I am on

Armour thyroid at this time which seems to be

helping but I think I need to up my dosage. I take

melatonin 3 mg sublingual at night to sleep which

Andy Cutlers book says to use for sleepness nights.

This seems to be helping !!!!!

I am going on Round 3 also and I am upping my

dosage of DMSA to 25mg. I have noticed a

crackling sound in my brain while chelating and

headaches as well. I tend to get candida YEAST

while chelating though.

I think you are doing well with it and stick to it.

Just make sure you go slow....and add ALA....

on maybe round 6 if you tolerate chelating as well.

I have to wait 3 months before I can start using ALA

because I just got my fillings out 2 weeks ago.

GReat Chelating

DMPS Chelation Side effects?

Here's a couple things I've noticed, I am nearing end of second round

12.5 mg DMPS every 8 hours. Seven days on seven days off.

Between rounds I had a trace mineral and vitamin IV. I waited four

years from end of amalgam removal to begin.

Watery eyes? I get this slow persistent leakage. Always dabbing at

the corner of my eyes. Maybe unrelated?

Some sleep disruptions. Maybe thyroid related because I seem to wake

up hot more often.

Some of my joints seemed more inflamed during chelation. Same areas

where I have had severe inflammation during the acute phase of amalgam

illness before and just after amalagam revisions (hips, shoulders,

cervical spine)

Skin eruptions, minor, hot spots and itchiness usually on upper body,

neck and face.

Otherwise I am tolerating it well and psychological symptoms are muted

or non-existent while chelating.

Anyone experience any of the above?

Thinking of going to 25 mg next round.

,

I have a hard time imagining a crackling sound. But I have been

living with severe tinnitus aka ringing in the ears. This seems

somewhat lower in amplitude while chelating. No headaches thus far.

I am going to do go to 25 mg next round to see if I tolerate the

higher dose, then the following round I am going to " embed " a

provocation dose (250 mg spaced over four doses/24 hours) and urine

sample for toxic metals analysis in the middle of a 7 day round

This seems the safest way to minimize side effect of a provocative

urine test.

Could this sound be more like ears popping, or pressure being released

from a clogged head. I have some sounds like that, which I'm pretty

sure are associated with clogged ear tubes and the rest of my head

being stuffed up. It could be interpreted as a cracking sound?

The headaches are pretty normal. I would imagine a lot of people here

have them, either from ALA chelation or other detox symptoms.

-Headaches we see if the dose it too high. At least as far as oral ALA

goes...

We counter it with high doses of C.

Crackling...definitely inner ears. It is fluid.. I have this off and

on even if I don't have a cold or seem congested. Do you hear it when

you swallow? If so, definitely ear fluid. Make sure yeast is not

causing ear congestion. Otherwise, allergies, or food intolerance or

just having a cold/sinus thing going on can cause this.

--------Doug, I also got this when I switched from DMSA to DMPS. It

was a new side effect, so it was very noticable for me. I told

that DMPS affected my eyes, that it felt different from DMSA,

and she told me it pulls from different areas? I wish I remembered

her exact words. Anyway, she wasn't surprised. Kind of annoying

though, isn't it?--------Jackie

--------If you're having a number of symptoms, you may want to do a

couple more rounds at 12.5, before moving up. And Andy generally

recommends only a 50% increase in chelator dosage, so 25 might be

too big of a jump. DeanSA said his rule was 3 rounds of no

symptoms, before he would do an increase. And TK has always said,

the biggest mistake he seen people make was trying to go too fast.

So if you're functional at 12.5mg but still getting some symptoms,

you may want to stay put for awhile.-------Jackie
