Re: My First Round - I Feel No Different

TK-- suggestion - read through the starting protocol in the files

section. Keep chelating for a number of rounds at this dosage before

increasing.

I agree with TK. Stay at this dose for a while (4-6 rounds). It is

possible that you are tolerating this dose fine, but it can also happen

that it takes a couple of rounds before some body compartment starts

dumping its mercury load, and then symptoms can begin.

If you don't see anything in those couple of rounds then, gingerly,

start increasing. (Best not to increase by more than 50% at a time.)

Remember, this stuff has been in your body for a long time, and now

you're finally giving it a route out. With all the amalgam removal and

the start of chelation, your body is going through some major readjustment.

I'm on day two of my first round of DMSA. I had my one amalgam out a

week ago. I take 16.7 mg DMSA every four hours.

I'm somewhat tired from the adrenal fatigue I've been battling for

over a year. But I feel no different than normal. How do I know it's

working? How do I know when to up the dose?

----------Are you doing anything to support your adrenals? Just a heads up,

that chelation does seem to be hard on your adrenals, so your adrenal fatigue

could get worse as you chelate. So if you're not supporting them now, you may

need to in the future.------------Jackie

-----------You might not notice anything until you end the round, and you

still might not notice anything then either. But it is still safest to do a few

rounds at the same dose before increasing. Some times side effects sneak up on

you. Dean's rule of thumb is 3 rounds with no side effects before increasing

the dosage.---------Jackie
