They should be able to do this without a prescription since DMSA is available OTC. You could assume that he chelates at 3 mg for 2 months, then 5 mg for 2 months, then 7.5 mg for 2 mo, 10 mg for 2 mo, and so on. This is just an estimation. He would have to determine the correct doses as he goes along from his symptoms. I wouldn't calculate (how much DMSA is needed) for longer than a year. > Also: has anyone ever needed more than 2 years of continuous chelating?

There are many variations on how long a person has to chelate. With the doses that your husband is starting at you can assume that he will need to chelate for longer than 2 years. > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
