Re: Reconstruction's first round - 6mg

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I just finished my first round of DMSA at 6mg every 3

hours for 3 days. I am six months post removal. Many

of my symptoms were similar to those of

Proudfoot. Felt better some of the time and worse

some of the time. I had a feeling of tiredness and

lightness in my chest some of the time. I dreamt more

than usual and slept lightly, which is opposite of the

usual when I am not chelating. I had very tender

glands under my left arm, which is one of my mercury

associated symptoms. I felt kind of euphorically

zoned out with occassionaly brain fog. The beginning

of chelation and the day after were the worst.

I have had anaphylactic attacks after previous

attempts at chelation using EDTA (not advised) and

this time I had a very mild type of flushing in my

ears which is part of the same spectrum of allergic

reactions. I started at 6mg because of my concern

about these attacks, so it looks like I picked a good

starting dose. I will stay at this level for awhile

and see what happens. Slow and steady is the way to

chelate!

I have heard about heavy metals in tatoos,

particularly cadmium, and I got a lot of hits Googling

for " tattoos " and " cadmium " . Anybody else have any

experience dealing with this or know what you can do

about it?

Best of luck and health to all chelators,

Dave
