Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Since Andy has written that it takes 3-5 years to get lead out, I wouldnt be dropping the Dmsa anytime soon. Lead takes a very long time to leave. You can do just one Dmsa round a month and that will keep the lead coming out. You would need to test, you don't need a Dan, anyone can get a porphyrin test at www.labbio.net > > Good morning. > > I used TD-DMSA for over 1 year. I am using oral DMSA right now, with ALA.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yea, they all have the same error rate if that's what you mean. And no porphyrin test measures what's in the CNS/brain,, only the body. Personally? I would only trust a series of negative results, at least two. Lol, much easier to include Dmsa once a month. > > > > > > Good morning. > > > > > > I used TD-DMSA for over 1 year. I am using oral DMSA right now, with ALA.
