Getting DMSA or DMPS prescribed

[Guest guest]

So, given that we need to use DMSA or DMPS to chelate, at least to get

it out sooner than ALA alone it begs the question. How does one get

DMSA or DMPS prescribed by a Dr so that you can get it at a pharmacy?

And I know I could get it through other means, but I was wondering

about the " normal " way of getting it.

From what I've read, the FDA only says DMSA used for chelating lead.

So given that I don't have lead poisoning how would one get it? I

didn't read about DMPS but I would assume it's something similar.

So has anyone gotten this prescribed and how did they do so?

Thanks,

Mike

You do not need to use these.

ALA alone is about as fast as you're going to go, the rest only speed it up a

bit.

DMSA can be had over the counter.

Find a doc willing to Rx it. THis may require some shopping around.

80% of all Rx's written are for something the FDA didn't apporove.

Thanks for the feedback Andy.

Where in the Seattle area could one find DMSA? Specfically in the

Redmond, WA area, but general Seattle area works. Tried a couple of

pharmacies and they looked at me funny. Health supplement stores did

as well. I know I could order online, but I was wondering about a

local source.

I thought that ALA would redistribute rather than Chelate. I knew it

would help get it out of the brain and intercelular, but I didn't

realize it'd work as a general chelator as well. Obviously I need to

read the book again.

-----------I don't know if I have ever heard anyone say they bought it OTC. I

think everyone orders it online, like from VRP, etc. If you are in the Seattle

area, then I would suggest you think about going to see . She is

recommended by Andy, and will also prescribe DMPS, if you'd like to try that.

She also understands alot of other things, like adrenal issues. www.npjulie.com

--------ALA is tricky, because it can redistribute if used improperly,

especially since it crosses the BBB. It is actually the workhorse chelator, as

puts it, and is actually the only essential chelator necessary. The other

chelators can help by reducing symptoms, lowering body burden, and speeding up

chelation somewhat. If your body burden is still high, then using ALA may put

more mercury back into your brain, so that's why we start with the other

chelators alone, to lower body burden. After that, ALA is the only *necessary*

chelator, if you can tolerate taking it by itself. Some people feel best on ALA

alone, and others say taking DMSA or DMPS with it reduces side

effects.---------Jackie
