Round 5 - DMSA - update

DMSA 6mg, dosing every 3 hours even waking at night, 3 days on, 4

days off. I have been amalgam free almost 6 weeks.

Phew! I have finally found the dose and timings that suit me.

Round 4 was rather nasty, but I learned a lot from it and this round

5 was pretty smooth, any symptoms where very mild. I could go about

my life in a normal manner.

--------Good for you! I think it's much better to be able to function while

on rounds, than to push it and have too many symptoms so you can't.-------Jackie

After the last round I had to reduce dosing times to every 3 hours, I

also reduced the dose to 6mg and that was perfect. I did think about

reducing the time further, but I have tinkered enough for now, this

round was what I have seen others describing as good, manageable

round.

I did have a little redistribution event afterwards, but again it was

much less than all 4 previous rounds, just a little itching,

heartburn and metal mouth.

I also changed my start and end times, so that I took my last dose at

6pm, which hopefully allows some redistribution to happen when I'm

asleep. That seems to work too.

Thanks to all who have been posting what they doing on rounds, it has

been very helpful to help me find what works. Cheers

What does it mean when I can only handle 6mg of DMSA? - high body

burden?

----------Possibly high body burden, or some of us are maybe just more

sensitive to the mercury and/or chelators and the process of moving it out of

our bodies.--------Jackie

Why does it give me heartburn?

------------All of the chelators are acidic. Somebody mentioned taking ginger

with their nighttime doses of ALA to help with this, or you could try alkalizing

things like Alka-Seltzer Gold, baking soda, (I think minerals in general), or

alkalizing foods, which somebody mentioned in a recent post and I think gave a

link.--------Jackie

Sunshine: Yes it was me, I gave the link. LOL.

Ummm…I have had serious problems with heartburn and I am now 95pct

cured of it. It was the bane of my life, I had it 24/7 for years and

years. So it's real frustrating when it rears its ugly head again.

Diet and apple cider vinegar sorts it out for me. Have a decent diet

24/7 and if heartburn comes along, 2-3 tbls ACV and its gone……it

still hurts me and worries me though.

I always get dehydration with serious heartburn too and I'm on the

watercure!

> ---------I don't remember if you're taking any digestive aids,

but if ACV helps you with heartburn, then that may be a sign that you

need more stomach acid (Betaine HCl). But if the ACV works, then

that might be all you need, because it stimulates the production of

stomach acid.--------Jackie

Sunshine: Yes I take betaine at every meal too. My life used to be

ruled by my heartburn, so I do all the right things to keep it at

bay, as I said it is 95pct gone now. But, you know, sometimes it just

happens, it just arrives out of the blue. Yesterday it arrived at

6pm, 4 hours after I had eaten. I had just drank a large glass of

water…absolutely no reason to get heartburn. Very strange, something

is happening in there that I don't understand. And I always get

dehydrated with the heartburn too, and I drink plenty of water every

day without fail.

Anyway…it is manageable now with ACV.
