Kate,

Succimer is one of the brand names for DMSA.

Kate: My experience has shown that the small guys like 3 yr olds do better with

starting at half the recommended dose and work up as you see the response.

Please read chapter seven of my book before you start. Personally I am starting

all the little guys with TTFD as it is gentle and steady (unless mercury

toxicity is sky high). It does not aggravate yeast the way DMSA (Chemet,

Succimer) does. I also never try to collect 24 hours of urine - it is not

necessary and almost impossible. It is important to read CSB carefully and

maybe twice before starting chelation, and if you can get your doctor to do so,

that's even better. I don't mean to criticize your doctor; you are lucky to

even find someone who is open about these things. I also never start chelation

until gut healing is stabilized and they are on all the nutrients and minerals

they need not to get depleted. Dr. JM

Succimer for chelation? Dr. M. and others, please

Hi

My sons doctor prescribed " Succimer " for chelation. Is this

typical? He is 3 years old and weighs 32 lbs. She is not a DAN! doc

but very open about it. I was expecting DMSA, though, and don't know

what to do. She wants to give " Succimer " 100 mg tabs once every 8

hours for 3 days and collect 24 hours of urine during the 2nd to 3rd

day.

AAAAAAAAAaAHHHHHHHHHHHH. I feel so torn. I know he needs to chelate.

Thanks

I always start with TTFD and continue it along with DMSA if I feel it is still

needed. I don't know where central PA is, but there is a wonderful doc who

trained with me and is also a homeopathist (as well as an MD), Prociuk,

, docremedy@.... His patients rave about him. Dr. JM

Succimer for chelation? Dr. M. and

others, please

Dr. McCandless

Thank you for your reply. I have talked to her and she said 50 mg

every 4 hours is fine with her. Also, I did reread Chapter 7 and my

husband read it as well. I'm wondering now if we should try TTFD

first. I am just so worried about lost time. Do you, or anyone,

know where to purchase TTFD?

Also, I'm wondering if we should find a more experienced Doctor who

may wish to have do the B12/TTFD/GSH trio. DOes anyone here on

the list know someone any where near central PA (Lancaster County)?

Thanks
