Re: first try with DMSA / splitting pills

[Guest guest]

That's one way - razor blade on glass.

Another is to add it to an _acidic_ juice (eg. OJ), shake _well_ and drink

half. Keep the rest in the fridge. Don't keep it for more than 12 hours. I

use a 4oz tincture bottle with a piece of tape on the side. I put a mark on

the tape, dividing into 3 (I use 33mg).

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to the group, and I just tried my first oral chelation

last weekend. I got some 25mg DMSA because it was the smallest dose I

could find. Last weekend, I tried it every 3 hours, but it made me

pretty tired. So I only did 4 doses and then quit. I guess this means

I should go to a lower dose? I don't weigh much anyway, so ideally I

would have liked to start lower.

To go to 12.5mg, do I simply break open each capsule, do my best to

divide it equally in half, and put half in an new, empty capsule,

other half in the original capsule? What a pain!
