----Well, we just started round 2 this morning. She's getting 3mg DMSA

every 4 hours. That's pretty low. I don't know if I can split the caps

up any more without losing accuracy. I'm already splitting it into

eighths. Can I decrease while already on round?

I also posted another question regarding being on round while getting

dental fillings. The title of the post is " Time Sensitive, Please

Advise " . I wonder if you might address that one too? I basically forgot

that she has a dentist appt tmr. And we are on round. TO quit this

round, or not, is the main question. Thanks.

-----------No, you really shouldn't change dosages while on round. If she

does really good while on round, then maybe try to up things off round to help

her, like you mentioned lithium, ACE, and I would also give her extra Vit C, and

see if that helps. Otherwise, you may have to lower the dose, like

said. You don't want her too uncomfortable (and you either!).

There is a past post by Ed, I believe, that explains how he uses the

Cap-M-Quick filler machine, and mixes his chelator with Vit C and fills capsules

that way, with whatever dose he wants.

And, there is a Dr. Nielson, I believe, that compounds DMSA and ALA in small

amounts, like 1mg, 4mg, and 8mg capsules. So you could search archives for both

of these ideas.-----------Jackie

--------I mentioned in my other post to ask on Autism-Mercury, but you could

also ask on the new dental forum, Dental-Chelation, run by Dean, and see what he

has to say.----------Jackie

It's up to you. If you prefer not to reduce the dose, then certainly

try increasing the ACE and/or lithium.

If you decide at some point to use smaller doses, you can try what

Andy suggests here so you aren't splitting such tiny amounts:

FYI you can purchase 25 mg caps that might be easier to divide down if

you need to in the future.
