Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Good heavens. First I send an empty one and then I just lost my real reply (the first and more intelligent one, I'm afraid). Sorry about that. I just wanted to tell you that although DMPS is a great chelator of mercury and some people have reported pulling lead as well, we've had great results here using DMSA/ALA. At a dose of 8 mg ALA and 10 mg of DMSA (which I thought was 12 mg, but am math-challenged) we pulled mercury just at the yellow. We also pulled lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, antimony, and nickel. All of these were also pulled in the fecal test, but at lower values. I think I jumped the gun and used a BM from too early in the round. I do know that Andy isn't keen on using EDTA for mercury poisoned people. I have no idea why he says that as I've never checked into it. I know he's not infallible, but I generally find it useful to at least look into why he's saying something to try to figure out if it my apply in our particular case. Perhaps Mandi understands this better. Anyway, I'm not sure my efforts here were worth the little information I've managed to share. Just wanted you to know the possibilities of DMSA and ALA.
