All I know is that I come down with the symptoms of a chelation error even before it's time to take the next dose. Sometimes like 10-20 minutes after it's time to take the next dose. Something is wrong here. Shouldn't I come down with symptoms of a chelation error like about an hour after missing a dos?. Not 10 minutes? Can I take DMSA every 3 and a half hours? ------------Yes, Andy has said that some people do better on more frequent dosing, probably because they are fast metabolizers, so it is definitely ok to dose at every 3-1/2 hours, or even 3. 3-1/2 can get confusing, because the time is always changing, meaning your not on the hour, or the time each day will change. If you want to keep the time consistent each day, then try every 3 hours. If your Ca/P ratio is below 1 on your hair test, that is a sign of being a fast metabolizer.---------Jackie ,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

So going from 4 hours to 3-1/2 hours during a round is fine. I have done it. More frequent dosing keeps your blood levels of the chelator up. Stretching doses out too far apart, lets your blood levels drop too low, and then causes too much fluctuation when you take your next dose. It is always best to keep your time intervals as consistent as possible, but a 1/2 hour sooner during a round shouldn't cause any problems.-------------Jackie Thanks. _,_.___ Messages in this topic (0) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

The last 5 rounds of chelation have been disasters. This round is going smoothly. I switched to 3:30 and felt better but I now switched to 3:00 intervals and I feel even more better.

You may be fine if on occasion you take a dose early, but people are different and you need to use your judgment.

It takes a little experimenting at first to find out what works best for you. I'm glad you didn't give up, which maybe some would do, if having problems when they start. That's why these groups are so wonderful, to help you through spots like this. And since you do better with shorter intervals, keep this in mind when you start ALA, because you will probably need to dose that more frequently also. Good luck!----------Jackie ._,_.___ Messages in this topic (0) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 > What dose are you taking? > Tedd > 25 mg this round but only because 12.5 was giving me more problems. I usually chelate at 12.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
