This is something I don't " get " .Why can't you just do the next dose right

away as soon as you remember you skipped it?If giving ALA & DMSA wouldn't

any floating around metals/elements get mopped up and dumped?I am not a

chemist....I am only asking a question and wondering what the reason is for

not being able to administer a dose right away.

Thanks, R

Hello ,

The problem is that when you are late, the redistribution has

begun to occur already. This happens to some degree at the end

of every round of chelation. It is the effect of a " last dose "

-- any dose which is not closely followed by another dose.

The reason you stop the round is to rest between rounds. You

already " ended " the round by the too-long-time.

So, while it is true that you COULD do one round, then stop

and 8 hours later start another round, that is not how most

people do it. Instead they WAIT SEVERAL DAYS before the

next round. This is the same thing, in this case.

does that help?
