*** sure, if you can split capsules down to 1 mg. 2 or 3 mg might be

easy (25 mg caps divided by 8 gives about 3 mg per cap)

*****Yes. There were periods of time when I was chelating

continuously with low dose DMPS, kept chelating during illness (which

is not a good idea in general, but was determined to be best at that

time for me), and was taking antibiotics for the illness. I can't

recall which antibiotic, probably a penicillin related one. I took

Flagyl once as well, and I think I kept chelating through that too

(I'll have to think about it a while to remember for sure).

****The type of antibiotic might make a difference. There is one

antibiotic that does give people problems (not because it does

anything to the mercury, there are other reasons that I can't recall),

but I can't recall the name. Jackie was on it once.

****For the specific case of Lyme, it would be best to ask Andy (with

the details of which antibiotic, dose, and duration of treatment plus

basis for the lyme diagnosis). The group owner, , also has been

collecting information about Lyme (I think he had it himself?), and

some of the information can be found at www.lymebook.com
