DMSA

My chelation doctor has been doing this for a long time and has observed

patients over long-term chelation. I know we have stated here over and over

that the urine tests are useless to track mercury chelation, but I just would

like to address something that came up the other day. I had another urine test

in which I collected my urine over a 24 hour period during my fourth day of

chelation with DMSA and ALA. Great Smokies did the post challenge test. I came

out showing no measurable mercury excreted. I've been chelating for nine months

now and this is the 3rd urine test they've done on me. The first one showed

high mercury excretion. The second one showed none and this third one showed

none. However, each one of them showed high lead excretion. So l got my

results yesterday and my doctor said that they see this over and over again,

that DMSA will pull lead first and they've had patients who don't even START to

pull mercury for a year or so. Is this true? Could I be chelating for nine

months doing Andy's protocol and only be pulling lead and no mercury? I could

understand if I were just taking DMSA and it was pulling lead first, but what

about the ALA I'm taking? Shouldn't that be pulling some mercury out of my

brain?

TK: I know that if you see this post, you might be thinking that these urine

tests are useless, but even in " Amalgam Illness " Andy says " continue chelation

until mercury urine excretion is low " . So they must have some validity if he

says that.
