I don't know of it being sold that way, but here are a couple

of thoughts that come to mind:

1. you can surely get it made by a compounding pharmacy,

if you have a prescription for it.

2. DMSA BREAKS DOWN once it is wet unless it is in a

very acidic medium (in which case it probably still breaks

down, but more slowly). I think this would be a real problem

with a transdermal creme. The pharmacy may not realize this---

some parents have bought DMSA in liquid -- You get what you

buy--- Don't buy something crummy like DMSA in a neutral liquid.

Even in an acidic creme

I WOULD NOT DO IT--- it will probably just break down slower,

so this seems like a waste of money to me.

3. If you are determined to use it transdermally, you could

perhaps buy the powder directly from a pharmacy or open capsules

and figure out a creme to mix it into just before you use it,

before each dose. Then use up the creme you mixed and throw

out any extra and do it again before the next dose.

4. Of course, I don't know how well absorbed it is transdermally

so the dose will need to be modified. For instance if the

absorbsion is 50% you need twice as much. But if absorbsion in

5% you need 20 times as much.

DMSA is a very large molecule and cannot get through the skin. It is also

unstable in either liquid or lotion form; it must be opened fresh each time you

use it, and given orally. Dr. JM TD DMSA???

Hi All,

I was wondering if DMSA was available in TD form? Anyone have any

idea?

I talked to from Coastal about that yesterday, and he said that they don't

do it and that it would smell ten times worse than TTFD/Authia.

I know most knew this for a while, but how long have DAN! doctors known that it

breaks down when it's exposed?

Reason being, when was a patient of Dr. Amy Holmes (2000), the DMSA was

compounded (as per her instructions, not mine) so that we would have enough for

10 weekends worth at a time. Needless to say, we know better now.

Looking back is always like a kick in the stomach because we gave him alot of

DMSA then added ALA. Now we know we were giving him ALA without having any real

chelating going on beforehand. And, he did go through a horrible regression

when we added the ALA. (now we can say, duh!!!)

Thanks,
