Re: Dr M: TD DMSA now instead of TD DMPS?

[Guest guest]

Dr. McCandless,

What prompted your switch from TD DMPS to TD DMSA? Just curious as there are

many people still using TD DMPS and it would be valuable to know why you

switched.

Thank you, L

Re: Dr M: LDN vs Chelating -- Next Step?

I would love to think that would be the case, but it is far too early

to say. I would say that if your child is heavy-metal toxic, I would

do both, and I am recommending the TD-DMSA now rather than

the TD-DMPS. Dr. JM

I have always preferred DMSA, as it is safer, FDA approved, and I have

had good luck with it in the past. However, the yeast infections always

necessitated having to stop to heal the gut. Now that we have a very

effective and successful TD form of DMSA, I prefer that. Some of our

chemists have been saying the body needs time to equilibrate after a

time of chelation, and the every other day ongoing may be too much for

some kids. I have had three kids I know very well who had marked

regressions

on the DMPS, one of them taking almost 7 weeks to get back to his former

self. My theory is that he was chelating faster than his body could handle.

Currently I'm working up a child who made great cognitive gains on DMPS

but started urinating all over himself throughout the day and night, after

having

been toilet trained for over 3 years. No urinary tract infection and no

dys-

biosis, but elevated BUN/creatinine ratios. Another two kids have very high

BUNs that I am investigating - all this stuff has to go through the kidneys

to

get out, and I never had this problem with DMSA. Just about the time I

began having these problems, Alan Israel at Lee Silsby's invented the new

TD-DMSA, and thousands of kids are already using it showing it is every

bit as effective as the DMPS, chelating 3 on, 11 off, or some of the bigger

kids, 3 on and 4 off. It is less expensive and insurance is more apt to pay

for FDA approved meds, as well. However, if kids are doing well on the

DMPS without any abnormal lab values, I am not taking them off of it, I

am just not starting anyone else out on it, and certainly will not give it

to

the kids who have had severe regressions on it. Dr. JM

Thank you for all of this information, Dr. JM. How do you choose

between the 3 days on, 11 off vs. the 3 days on, 4 days off schedules?

I have a 5 1/2 year old who weighs 47 lbs, and we are close to

beginning chelation.

Thank you!

Dr M,

We have noticed that Jack has started wetting his pyjamas during the evenings

quite a lot recently ie whilst still awake and downstairs watching videos. He is

going to the toilet when he needs to wee but in between times he seems to leak!!

Could this indicate stress on his kidneys from the DMPS? I guess his forthcoming

bloods will tell us more?(Interestingly it doesn't happen at all during the day

)

Dr. JM,

you may have just solved a dilemma for us with my son, ! After several

months of great gains on TD-DMPS we are seeing frequent daily and night urine

" accidents " and was complaining of his back hurting. We have done liver

function panels, urine tests for UTI, bladder etc and even an X-Ray for

blockage, everything came back normal. I will take your post next week to my

DAN! doctor to suggest changing over to TD-DMSA.

Thank you!
