RE: Reasons to dose at 6mg?

[Guest guest]

Actually, Andy has said that metals removal increases A LITTLE LESS THAN the

square root of the increased dose. So it really makes no sense to go up to

a dose of chelator that produces a lot of side effects. Low and slow seems

to work best.

If this figure that doubling the dose gets you 30%

more chelation is correct, that would mean that 25mg

only increases the amount of metals chelated by 70%

relative to 6mg.

-------Andy has also said it another way, that excretion increases by

about the square root, so taking 4X as much chelator will only increase

excretion by about 2X. But symptoms increase linearly, so you would have 4X

more/worse symptoms, but only double the excretion, so he doesn't feel it is

worth it.---------Jackie
