Re: DMPS Dosing Clarification

[Guest guest]

Jerry we are doing DMPS and ALA. We dose ALA every 3 hrs, and DMPS every 6.

Half life for DMPS is 8 hrs. Every 6 hrs is OK. I would not feel comfortable

giving DMPS every 3 hrs.

This dosing so much (if not such a small amount, more frequently, of half-life

and all) is marvelous. I'm giving it a go as I found Cutler's 1 (rather

large) dose per day for 3 days (and 11 days off, of the DAN! protocol) pretty

useless, and expensive (as with DMPS). Here's moving more towards the Andy

Cutler protocol, (Mostly with ALA for now) that, where it works, it *works!*

(I'm familiar with the scientific-method and ABC, with respect to my ABA

background, not so much formal, of formal/pro-political ABA. and that's all I

care about... (topping up with minerals, of supplements and all, as is usually

indicated with chelation) whether it's actually *chelating* (or anti-oxidizing?

or whatever?) going on, or not... and *thanks!* for helping *me* with as much..

If we don't open up Communication who would?!. My sense of It, of this.
