Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi, After gathering info I feel ready to begin oral chelating. Would this be a satisfactory option to follow. Just want to make sure I understand things. Thanks for your assistance so far, Dean 1. Start ROUND 1 of DMSA 12.5mg. Take 12.5mg every four hours on the hour, including waking up at night!!!! If you miss a dose by an hour stop the round and wait three days to start again. If there are any side effects monitor and if bad stop. A ROUND is 3 days on and 3 days off 2. If no side effects, or mild manageable side effects occur, then do another round DMSA at 12.5mg. 3. If no side effects, or mild manageable side effects occur, then do another round DMSA at 12.5mg. 4. Start next round with ALA. Take 12.5mg every THREE hours on the hour, including waking up at night (can push the round to 4 hours at night to get more sleep, but go back to 3 hours during the day!!!!) If you miss a dose by an hour, stop the round and wait three days to start again. If there are any side effects monitor and if bad stop. 5.If no side effects or few, do another round ALA at 12.5mg. 6. If no side effects or few, do another round ALA at 12.5mg. 7. If no problems start next round with both ALA and DMSA at 12.5mg. 3 days on - 3 days off. 8. If no problems increase dosage until you find on that is manageable and stick there for along time. (maximum of dose of ALA is 1200mg and DMSA is ?. These dosages are very high and may not be necessary.) 9. You can also increase the number of days on if side effects are stable up to a maximum of 14 days on, and at lease the same number of days off.
