RE: Alkaline Urine and DMSA/Andy?others

[Guest guest]

Andy,

I have read the problem with using DMSA is it dumps all metal in the urine,

putting a heavy burden on the kidney. I read on your book about the

importance of keeping urine alkaline when using DMSA.

I bought these PH strips http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1

<http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1 & pid=3621 & at=0> & pid=3621 & at=0

and i am planning on giving my daughter sodium bicarbonate as needed. I will

be adding ALA also, but wanted to start with DMSA first.

My question is " Is this approach some what safe? Do you have any other

recommendations?

Thanks ahead

Leo

Correct.

An incorrect conclusion due to not knowing enough about chemistry, physiology or

heavy

metal toxicity that many unknowledgeable people (a surprising number with

health care

licenses) draw.

For cadmium. Not for other things. It won't hurt for other things but the only

thing it is

known to make a difference with is cadmium.

Yes.

Continue to learn and ask questions, but don't worry. You're doing OK so far.

Remember the most important thing is the frequent day and night adminstration.
