Re: Starting Chelation w/ DMSA

[Guest guest]

It should be no more than 12.5 mg to start EVERY 4 HOURS for 3 days

AROUND THE CLOCK, then a 4 or 11 days break, your choice.

Bear in mind that most people contributing on this list know more about

chelation than most doctors. Including DANs.

DMSA is non-prescription in the US and Canada and many other parts. You

do not need a doctors " permission " to use it the way you see fit.

Do you think I can split the capsules into 1/4's? Would that be okay?

Yes. And if you are worried about precision, you can always use a

milligram scale. There are some cheap ones out there. Search onibasu...

Subject: [ ] Starting Chelation w/ DMSA

Hi All! I Picked up our 1st rx for DMSA yesterday. Our 8 y/o son is 60lbs

and very chemically sensitive. The dose prescribed is 50mg for 3 days, then

11 days off. I was looking at past posts for doses/days and it looks like

the dose should be lower and 3 days on, then 4 days off. Is that right?

If that is correct, can I just open the capsules and split them? Thanks for

the help! Jill
