hi,

i am just about to order some dmsa from living network 6.25mg. i have

been asked if i want to have 200mgs of ascorbic acid with it, whats the

best thing to do,with or without,

-----------I guess my first question is what form of Vit C do you take now,

and do you tolerate the ascorbic acid form? If you tolerate the acid form, then

200mg isn't very much, and you would probably be just fine with it. If you

don't tolerate the acid form and have to take all your Vit C in the buffered

form, then I would get it without.----------Jackie

also do i just take my supps as

normal during the day, and if they coincide with the same time as

taking the dmsa is this ok?

----------Yes. I take my chelators with or without food, and with or without

other supplements. It doesn't seem to matter.----------Jackie

also its 6mnths since i had my amalgam removed could i start on ALA and

DMSA quite soon, even though my hairtest (194) showed high lead.

------------If you show high lead, then I would definitely use DMSA. And it

would be best to do a number of rounds on that alone, to see how you feel on it

and get used to it. But since it has been 6 months, you can add in ALA, or try

it by itself whenever you want to. But I would suggest starting with the DMSA

alone and see how that goes. Then add in ALA after at least a few rounds, only

if things are going well on the DMSA.----------Jackie

I feel

that i have a lot of mercury in my brain, as my worst symptoms are,

things not seeming real,and feeling spaced out, weakness in muscles,

and insomnia,and thoughts really bothering me and making me feel uneasy.

its getting really hard to keep facing the days with these feelings.

any advice would be appreciated.

Dudley.

thanks for your advice. Re the ALA/DMSA you said i could perhaps

start with them after a few rounds, could that cause a problem if i

still had mercury in my body?

Also could ala take lead into the brain

hi jackie,

thanks for your advice. Re the ALA/DMSA you said i could perhaps

start with them after a few rounds, could that cause a problem if i

still had mercury in my body?

Dudley.

---------Hi Dudley. I think Cutler is unclear as to whether ALA chelates lead

at all, or to what extent, so I don't know if it could carry lead into the

brain. You could try searching archives using onibasu and see if you find any

comments by him on this.

As far as starting the ALA, you seemed anxious to do this, so technically,

since you are 6 months post amalgam removal you could start/try it at any time.

But as you say, if your body burden is still high, then you may need to chelate

with DMSA alone for awhile, and if you have high lead, this might be the best

plan for you. And there seems to be a huge variation as to when people tolerate

ALA chelation, so I really can't give you an answer as to when it will be ok for

you to start. Unfortunately, some of this comes down to trial and error.

Here's what I would suggest you do. Start with DMSA only and see how you do

on that. If you do have high lead, then this might help alot, and you might

feel better on rounds. At some point when you feel really comfortable with DMSA

only rounds and have few or no side effects, then consider adding in ALA. There

is no set number or exact time when this will be, you'll just have to try it at

some point, and if it doesn't go well, then you stop taking ALA, and do more

chelation with DMSA only. And then at some point, you try it again. Keep doing

this until you can tolerate using the ALA. Good luck---------Jackie
