DMSA dose and feedback

[Guest guest]

I made the mistake of having the challenge test w/ 2 grams of DMSA and had

reflex problems for several months after. That was 1.5 yrs ago. I then tried

going to a local doctor (deals w/ autism and children) to detox last summer and

didn't like what he was doing. (Metal Free). I just didn't want to throw away

a year using it and then find out it didn't do anything, so I started DMSA with

supplements on my own: Cuttler protocol. (wanted to go 3 days at 25 mg/4 hours).

Had a very hard time by the 2nd day -didn't sleep all the 1st night and was

groggy and anxious, so I dropped down to 12.5 mg and made it 2.5 days. Did

that 3 times... with 3 wk breaks inbetween. However, the loss of sleep - I stay

up all night waiting for the alarm and then really groggy the next 3-4 days.

SO.........I decided to just do one day's worth. Take it every 3-4 hours

thoughout the day, I take 25 mg/dose and 4-5 doses over the day. This totals

only 100 to 125 mg per cycle. I have done this for 3 treatments now, but

whether I go 3 or 2 or 1 day, I don't feel very well the day after I stop. (1st

day off). Today was mild discomfort in kidneys and seemed like the DMSA is a

diuretic. (lots of urination in the AM). I guess I want to know is if

anyone has calculated the typical load of Mercury in the body and how much TOTAL

DMSA one has to have taken to pull it out. I may need more supplements or

something to ease the post symptoms and then how do I judge when to start ALA

with DMSA. should I send my urine out or just go by symptoms or get to a

certain load of DMSA? Thanks, J

Another friend of mine is taking 100 mg 3 times a day for 3 days (she is

splitting the doses) under doctors orders - that totals almost 1 gram per 3 day

treatment! Yikes!

I would concentrate on trying to find a way to take the nighttime dose. If

that's simply impossible, what about dmps every 8 hours?
