>Absolutely correct Darren. And I am really concerned because the

chelation is obviously stirring up the mercury - it was found in my

RBC's 2 days after this particular round.

Are you having any symptoms, ?

after a year still do not feel any better and am still only able to

tolerate 25mgs DMSA.

I am not able to get past 25mg DMSA myself (or 25, now just 30mg ALA), but I

have seen a lot of improvement. So, I wouldn't be concerned that you have not

been able to up the dose. I am concerned that you " have all the symptoms of

mercury redistribution " but " do not feel any better " .

What do you mean about having symptoms of mercury redistribution? How do you

experience that?

What have you experiences as you have gone through this for a year? Any up

phase? Any " stall " phase? Anything? Is it all just around in a circle?

I ask, because I have seen cases of people who do get worse with chelation. In

those cases, it was due to some unidentified mercury in the mouth.

Why haven't you added ALA, even in small quantities?

(called IWDL in the UK) and their tests picked up a whole bunch of

other toxic substances.

I'm curious what they were. Could you tell us?

>I did the test after almost two days of

chelating so the mercury should have been in full flow.

Not necessarily. It could be chelation other things. Also, I don't understand

this process by which DMSA might be cleaning off the transport molecules of the

cells (which is what Andy thinks it does), in which case the cells would begin

to dump things like arsenic, antimony, aluminum, tin, nickel - ie the things

whose excretion mercury blocks.

, we have to clear up this bad response, if you have been doing this for

a year.
