Re: How to divide up a DMSA capsules in half?

[Guest guest]

Me three, I divide my doses by eyeballing them. Hard to mess up with a 25mg

DMSA capsule, really.

True, gives lots of advice. So does the CDC. Common sense tells you

that, when the advice is way more complicated than it needs to be, you should

just ignore it.

I agree with you, Best. Dividing up small caps and taking them

every 3 hours even in the in the middle of the night for three days and

then waiting 4 days and then starting all over is " WAY more complicated

than it needs to be " .

" Common sense " tells me that people who think like you " should just

ignore " the entire Cutler protocol and take an entire year's dose at

once. " Common sense. "

" It's January first, time to change the batteries in the smoke

detectors, boink my wife, AND take 31200 mg of ALA. "

, you really ARE the Best! You bring a smile to my lips and warm

fuzzy feelings all over the rest of my body!

Yes, for goodness sakes, people are talking about wanting the list to become a

" police state " again, LOL.

Seriously, please. We all have enough to deal with. I personally really

appreciate 's advice. Being insulting is entirely

counter-productive and has partially hijacked this important thread.

I had read another good way to split capsules was to pour one into juice, say a

25 mg capsule into 50 ml oranje juice, then dose as needed by amount of juice,

with a syringe. of course mix it up well. seems less inaccurate than eyeballing

the pile of powder and less complicated than scale measuring (especially if you

don't have the scale, as is my case).

am I being way too simplistic here, any glaring errors in this interpretation of

how to do things ?

thanks to all who can respond.

We do are dosing in juice during the day however at night I eyeball splitting

the capsules and use water (mixing the dose at the time it is given). My dentist

was concerned with the kids teeth using juice at night. I was told I could use a

washcloth to wipe off their teeth after the dose but my daughter would not have

it so I went with water at night. Any comments? Does this seem like it would be

ok?

Thanks!

Sounds fine. We have been giving dmsa at night for four years and not wiping my

son's teeth off and he's fine. Cavities are more from nutritional deficiency

than sugar. See Weston Price on Children's teeth and remineralizing.

Andy has said many times in the past that it's fine to eyeball the dosing when

you divide it up. As long as the timing is done properly because the timing is

more crucial than whether or not you get 20 mg one dose and 21mg on the next

dose. Just divide it as closely as you can. I am sure if someone has time they

can dig these old posts off Onibasu and repost them here.

We are four years and running on eyeball doses. Round 97 done and 87 coming

up...it's fine.

capsules or two, and pour. When I empty a 25 mg, I use them up too. No waste.

Maybe he'll chime in here.
