The two sulfurs on the DMSA and DMPS molecules chelate heavy metals.

When the heavy metals aren't free to bounce around in our bodies we

feel better. I feel about as good on DMPS as you do on DMSA.

Because as the blood levels of DMSA or DMPS fall the mercury comes

loose and starts to float around, bash into our cells, kill a bunch,

maim a bunch and make us feel lousy.

How can sulfur

It can all totally be explained by chelation.

I doubt it.

Does it do

Takes the heavy metals out

For the immune system?

Takes some heavy metals out so that there is better function.

DMPS does about the same for me.

While it doesn't cross the bbb some mercury can spin off and cross

(without the DMSA) as it gets dropped (from the DMSA) close to the bbb.

A person would be in bad shape if the bbb is that damaged.

I think it can all be explained by chelation.
