trial of chelator only to determine metal toxicity?

[Guest guest]

Ok, lets say a person doesn't want to get a hair test (limited funds for

example) they just want to do a trial of chelation. I have read that you

should see some response within 10 rounds. but we advise people to begin at

a low dose and work up. My 16 year old for example (we have a hair test but

lets say we didn't) is chelating with DMSA only as he has just had amalgams

removed. We have only done 3 rounds we gave him 12.5 mgs he has felt

nothing good or bad. If we do this for 5 rounds then increase to 16mgs for

another 5, etc.... (of course then we will add ALA). But I am thinking

about others people who may be doing only a trial (most probably with ALA

not DMSA), how do you decide you are a non responder vs. not being on high

enough a dose to get a response yet?
