I slowly started to feel a little better, got back to taking my supps, and added Isocort some time in June. It perked me up quite a bit, and I was able to enjoy my son's baseball season, and get back to chelating. I heard you guys discussing doing longer rounds, so I tried my longest round ever the last 2 weeks of July------- 16mg DMSA every 3-4 hrs for 15 days. It gave me the feeling that I made some progress, and my sister recently told me that she could see an improvement that " held " . So I was excited about that, and was hoping to move up to 25mg DMSA, and then add ALA soon, which I haven't done yet. TK--- go slow, if you made progress at the previous level [stay there] for a number of rounds - one of the biggest mistakes people make is trying to go to fast too soon. > > Jackie T.

I have actually been at 16mg for a long time, I believe at least 8 rounds. I was able to finish a round at 25mg back in April, and was planning on moving up on my next round, but then all my medical stuff started happening, and chelation keeps getting interrupted, so I keep going back to 16mg. So your advice from the past about not going too fast has stuck in my head, so thank you! My goal was to not add ALA until I got to 25mg of DMSA, so I haven't tried it yet, and its been over a year since amalgam removal. With all my recent problems, would it be wise to still hold off on the ALA? TK--- Hi, can't keep track of everyones problems so you will need to decide this on how well you are doing. If you haven't chelated for awhile because of other problems I would go back to the 16mg dmsa for a few rounds and then possibly increase if everything goes well. Once you are at 25mg dmsa and comfortable then add some ala. I think I will certainly wait at least a couple more rounds, and see if the stress in my life has let up!----Jackie T> > > > > Jackie T. > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
