Re: DMPS every 3 hours? (any negatives?) -- beigetable & mercurybeater

[Guest guest]

I'm hoping that perhaps (mercurybeater) and beigetable can

chime in, as they wrote in replies with their experiences using DMPS

every 3 hours (as well as anyone else, of course)...

After having read your replies, I'm now considering taking DMPS more

frequently during rounds, possibly even up to every 3 hours like you,

as an " experiment " to see how I feel and if there seems to be less

side effects/redistribution going on then.

I was wondering if there were any possible negatives, or risks, to

doing this? (eg. is it more taxing on the adrenals or liver, to take

it so frequently?). B/c I understand the standard procedure (and

what Cutler recommends) is taking it every 6 to 8 hours.

I've completed 4 rounds -- I used 10mg DMPS every 6 hours, 3 days on

and 3 days off. I thought 10mg was quite a low starting dose and so

probably safe, but by the 4th round, I got bad side effects and even

stopped for 3 weeks to take a break. I'm now set to resume chelating

again, and am trying to figure out my dosing game plan...

(BTW, in retrospect, I don't think it was the 10mg dosage that was so

much the problem as the 3 days on, 3 days off schedule. I think I

need to take a lot more time off after rounds than the 3 standard

days. Is this common?)

My plan had been to reduce the dosage to a very low 5mg, taken every

6 hours, 3 days on, and longer days off (anywhere from 5 days to 2

weeks off, depending on how I felt). How does this sound?

But now, I'm even considering taking it more frequently during the

day... if so, should I lower the dosage accordingly? Eg., instead of

5mg every 6 hours, do it 2.5mg every 3 hours? (if I could even widdle

it down to that little!) Or maybe 4mg every 4 hours?... Any advice

would be greatly appreciated!

PS. Not that I've done any tests or anything to confirm this, but I

believe I'm also a fast phase 1 liver metabolizer, in case that makes

any difference.
