I'm 4 days post amalgam removal and so I started my first round this

morning. I'm doing 12.5 mg DMSA every 4 hours for 3 days. Then start

my next round 3 days after ending the doses.

So I'm just after dose 4 on the first day. Don't really notice

anything strange or symptoms other than my urine smelling like the

DMSA. Wondering if I should bump it up to 25 mg per dose next time.

Guess I'll see where this round gets me first before uping the dose.

-------------It would really be best to stay at 12.5mg for this whole round,

and even for a few more rounds, just to make sure nothing sneaks up on you. The

biggest mistake most people make is trying to go too fast. So please be

patient, finish the round at 12.5mg, and see if you have any symptoms when " off

round " .-----------Jackie

-----------A smaller increase would be going to 16-17mg, which you get by

dumping out 2 capsules (50mg) and dividing it into 3 piles.----------Jackie

Noticed the supher like smell at first when I was breaking apart the

capsules and splitting the 25 mg doses into 12.5 mg. A bit of a pain,

wish it was just in pill form as it'd be easier to split, than it is to

take apart the capsules, try to get as close to half a capsules worth

of content and pour it into an empty capsule container.

----------Yes, kind of a pain, but it gets easier and faster, the more you do

it, and the jokes about feeling like a drug dealer are endless!------Jackie

I'll comment more as this round goes and also try to add what other

supplements I'm taking.

Thanks,

Mike

Yeah, I'll stick with it at this level. I did notice my head feeling

funny. Which is strange considering that DMSA only works on blood

mercury. It felt similar to other times when my head feels strange,

but it was a bit different. I also notice my sleep was affected, I

felt like I had taken some caffiene just before bed, so I felt

more " wired " than normal.

I'm curious has anyone found a good scale to use for this? Suppose I

could ask the neighborhood drug dealers what they use. ;-) LOL

Perhaps a local chemical store or pharmacy might have something?

I'll look online, as I'm sure I'll find something easier, though I

might get someone watching my house by ordering stuff like this. :-/

Thanks,

Mike

FYI I looked up scales for measuring in milligrams, very expensive. In

the hundreds of dollars. Guess, I'll just stick to capsule

splitting. Though given my lack of major side effect symptoms I'm

still considering going from 12.5 to 25 mgs per dose and not have to

worry about it. LOL Yes, I know, not making up my mind very well on

this.

So I'm almost done with being ON my second round at 12.5 mg DMSA per

dose. No major symptoms to report other than being more tired due to

getting up in the middle of the night to take the capsule. Oh, and I

messed up last night, I didn't wake up at 3 am, but and hour or so

later. Took my dose anyway, and took my next dose a little bit later

so as not to have too much in my system all at once. I am currently a

little shaky in the hands right now. But it may just be caused by the

adrenal support supplement I took, not sure why I chose today of all

days, seems the experimenter in me forgot to not introduce too many

variables to the equation. LOL

Mike

this is another post that I remember about filling capsules, that you

might be interested in. Cap-M-Quick has a manual filling machine, and

this post explains how to measure out the correct amount.----------
