Jackie-

DMSA does chelate arsenic (it's a modification of BAL, which was an old

antidote for ite, an arsenic based poison gas). Andy does say that DMPS

is a more effective " accessory chelator " (over and above ALA), but it doesn't

appear that there is enough arsenic to worry about it, really. He does need to

work on the lead with DMSA, and so that will automatically help with the little

arsenic that appeared in the hair. If there was no lead, then probably just

the methylation support would be enough. I think the only reason for the pain

in the ass of ALA 3 hour dosing would be to test if there is any mercury left

up there.

Chelate w/ DMSA 3 days/month for arsenic and Lead

-----------My understanding is that DMSA chelates lead and mercury, not

arsenic. Andy says that DMPS and ALA are best for arsenic. But if you have

lead, then you need to use DMSA, for at least one round a month or so. And your

lead was elevated, so you should use DMSA for sure.--------Jackie

Mercury poisoning hasn't been ruled out. It is likely that there is

significant mercury up there, forced there by the IVs. From the

information that we have there have been no treatments to remove

mercury, and it doesn't fall out on it's own My guess is that low

dose ALA will be needed for a long time.

I'm surprised that you have so much faith in methylation enhancers. I

can see how they are needed for support, but where does it say that

they are all a person needs for arsenic?
