Re: I cant tolerate even 3 mg of dmsa? Is that possible?

Hi Joni,

If the depression and anxiety do not last after stopping te

DMSA you know it is from the redistribution of the metals. In

this case you should try a shorter time period between doses

which is alright to do.. So if you are taking it every four

hours the maximum allowed , then try every 3 hours. I found

that the second and third dose I needed to take early to

avoid anxiety.

If the depression lasts then you will have to find something

to treat this if you cannot stand it. In my case on my first

round of DMSA after not having depression for at least 6 years,

it came back full force and did not leave. I went back to

taking 5HTP which I knew had helped before. I stayed on it for a

month or two and now after 8 months of doing more chelation the

depression never returned again but for a few fleeting hours.

Have you tried to take it more often? Each two or each three hours,

for example?

Have you ever tried Saunas? A lot of gyms and YMCA's have them and it

may be worth a try to see how you respond. After using the sauna

(probably at least a few times) to clear some mercury and other

metals/toxins it may be possible to chelate.

dear joni,

I couldn't tolerate any DMSA for about 5 months. So I went alone with

ALA - small doses - 6mg. Then finally I was able to start with 6mg of

DMSA, and even then I was going to the loo every 1.5 hours. Now after 9

months I am on 50mg, so don't give up. Its a slow process for many of

us who were severley mercury poisoned. I had 10 amalgams for over 30

years. It takes time to recover from that kind of overload.

Kind regards

Have you read the section of Amalgam Illness on adrenal insufficiency?

There is more information on adrenals in the links section. Thyroid

problems can also cause depression and anxiety.

If you have adrenal and/or thyroid problems (and many of us do) it

will make a big difference to treat them.

I would also suggest reading Andy's comments on depression and how to

treat it:
