Dumping phase???

[Guest guest]

I just finished my 6th week chelating with DMSA.:

week days on days off mg DMSA interval(hrs)

1 4 3 12 3

2 4 3 25 3

3 5 2 25 3

4 5 2 50 3

5 5 2 50 3

6 4 3 50 3

I did not notice any difference either on or off and generally my

symptoms have improved since starting chelation. More energy, more

mental clearity, less peripheral neuropathy. The last two days I have

felt the best since getting toxic.

I took my last dose at 12:00 am last night and about 6 hours later I

began getting intense stomach cramps which slowly improved, but

generally I became very weak and achy -- kind of like the flu. I do

not have a fever.

I know it is impossible for anyone to say for sure if this is dumping,

redistribution or maybe I just caught some bug, Just thought i'd put

it out there for any opinions.

Thanks,

Jon

End of round redistribution.

I think that you have been increasing your dose too fast. I would

stick with 25 mg and see how that goes.

-------------Of course it is up to each individual to make decisions/choices

for themselves, but I would like to point out that you are breaking a number of

the protocol rules, and I don't recommend anyone else doing this.

First, you are supposed to take as many days off as on, and you are not doing

that. I read the above as 4 on/3 off, and 5 on/2 off, so you should be taking

more time off between rounds.

Second, you are ramping up your dosage too fast. We suggest a minimum of four

rounds at the same dose, with little or no side effects, before doing a dosage

increase. People have found that side effects can sneak up on them after a few

rounds.

Third, Andy suggests only increasing your dosage by 50%, and you have doubled

it each time you've increased. This won't cause problems for everyone, but many

can't handle that large of an increase.

So maybe this has worked for you, but I do want to caution others, that this

would be too fast for many, and could cause alot of problems/side effects. And

maybe it does have something to do with the problem you mention

below.-------Jackie

----------I'm glad you're feeling better, but I would still caution you to

slow down a little, and take a little more time off between rounds. Problems

don't always show up right away. But you may be lucky, and be one of those who

tolerate higher dosages, but still, be careful.---------Jackie

-----------That might be adrenal? The ramping up fast on chelators may be

stressing them out. Do you have any other adrenal fatigue symptoms? Might be

worth doing some reading and checking into.--------Jackie

----------Yes, hard to say. How many months post amalgam removal are you?

Since it happened within hours of ending a round, I would think redistribution

would be the most likely culprit.---------Jackie
