At Air Canada right now there are seats from Vancouver to London for $274 each way. Seattle is a short bus ride from Vancouver. I think it would be cheaper to fly to see , and do the tests she recommends. Check and see if you are allowed to import prescription drugs. > Is it worth it? Just to get DMPS? > DMPS is very nice to have because of the longer dose interval and low side effect profile. > Will those tests tell me anything useful? > I wouldn't pay for the tests that the doctor recommended. It's highway robbery the way that he loots people. J > Sunshine > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to recap Dr Downing tests: urine test is 6 hours, liver test involves me taking things that make me sick, caffeine and I'm unwilling to take aspirin and paracetamol anyway…..and the stool test is discontinued……hardly inspires me with confidence. > > I'd first ask you why you want DMPS.

Options is all. I have done 18 rounds now and am at 5mg DMSA every 2.5 hours. DMPS is supposed to be a better chelator, with fewer side effects…I am not in any rush but if I can speed and ease my healing…great. If I can't…then what I'm doing is going really well anyway, as I said before I am a zillion times better than I was and am almost leading a normal-ish life now. I am not dealing with lead. I am dealing with MSC. ALA is next for me, but before I try ALA I want to be able to increase my dmsa dose and I just decreased the dose! LOL. > As for a mercury allergy - well, the first question would be, what would he do > with the result? I mean, mercury allergy or not you will need to detox. -----correct. I see no reason to waste my time and money on this. > PS.

On second thought, better yet, don't > waste your time. -------I argued with him for the full 2 hours, but I was after DMPS from him, so I did not question his methods, I just said I was only willing to use the Cutler method and was unwilling to consider anything else. I didn't want to piss him off because I wanted something from him. His criticism of something he had not read, nor studied was embarrassing to behold, especially as he markets himself as a mercury expert, but I didn't say anything because I was after something from him. Broking & negotiation is my profession and belittling someone when trying to get something from them is unlikely help me get what I want. Anyway….i will avoid this doctor and suggest everyone else does too. Sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 i am from the uk and dr downing is one of many drs associated with bio lab and many of them claim to know about mercury chelation. i have seen two before i knew about the cutler protocol, and was told to take ala 400mg 1xday, cilantro,and chorella all once a day thank god i never did this.the point i make is anyone from the uk who see these drs cannot expect them to be sympathetic to the cutler programme, and can be very dangerous dudley > > > > Good for your for being feisty! > > ------------The doctor called today and said the stool test was no > longer done by that lab and there might be a lab in USA that we could > use……..wonderful…..just shows how much experience this village idiot > has with these tests. > > So to recap Dr Downing tests: urine test is 6 hours, liver test > involves me taking things that make me sick, caffeine and I'm > unwilling to take aspirin and paracetamol anyway…..and the stool test > is discontinued……hardly inspires me with confidence. > > > > > (...)
