was: DMSA ? now: safe urine metal tests...

February 3, 2008

He would still get sick. that would still be an elephants dose.

My 140 pound 12 year old is on 12.5 mg for rounds. She can go up to

about 25 mg safely by weight. No more. 1/8-/12mg per pound is the

range. I have taken 12.5 and 25 myself..it's powerful stuff and I

would never take 100mg or 1500mg.

I also would never recommend giving a one time dmsa dose just to

measure urine metals. All you will do is pull a bunch of metals loose

and leave nothing to mop them up. What would make more sense, is to

just take a urine sample towards the end of a round of chelation on a

sensible dose of dmsa. That would tell you what he was dumping..enough

to satisfy the doc and insurance anyway. Urine metals will not tell

you how poisoned his body is. Since there is no way to measure total

body burdens. So just measuring what he dumped at the end of a round,

will prove that " yes the metals are there " which can also be proven

with a hair test.

Please search our old posts for " challenge tests " too see the numerous

reasons why what the doctor has recommended is dangerous. And how you

can safely do a urine metal test.
