4 hrs vs 8 hrs avoids mercury rash

[Guest guest]

Listmates,

After my 5th, 6th and 7th cycles of DMSA I experienced a progressively

more severe " mercury rash " (hives). I had been taking 500 mg DMSA

every 8 hrs for 3 days on with 11 days off (per the DAN protocol). My

doctor advised me to rest and then cut the dose in half and to dose

more frequently as per Andy's recommendations. The DAN protocol

(Dr. Laidler) now also recommends such a course if reactions are

experienced. I rested for 6 weeks and then started again at 100 mg

every 4 hours for 3 days. I took 50 mg as the last dose in the

sequence. Having gone through two such complete cycles, I am pleased

to report that there has been no sign of the mercury rash/hives.

Regards,
