Hi OC,

I think you are right here but, I wonder HOW we/you/anyone would

go about worrying about it better. (I'm not into worrying MORE

though LOL-- just more effectively I'm in favor of worrying

WELL but only a LITTLE BIT....... )

If you (or anyone) has ideas on this I'd like to hear them. I

have very limited time/energy for researching, but might include

some of the ideas in a new FILE that I've had 1/2 written for

weeks (about the risks of chelation, always a popular topic ...)

What I can think of is:

-- read all research on DMSA

-- maybe look at research on drugs with similar structure?

That is all I can think of Not very good!

Doing new research is prohibitive and takes a loooooooong time

if you want long term effects. (Also for longer term it is

more and more unclear if/how DMSA is connected to effects.)

What else??

And on the liver toxicity issue, I just think everyone should

do a ton of liver-support and liver-detox and then have a

really healthy liver. At least I think this is a " better "

option than worrying about negative effect on liver.

good wishes,

Moria

Hi OC,

we chelated our son with DMSA/DMSA+ALA for almost 2 years now.

Recently we had to fix his teeth. We decided to do it without general

anestesia, and it required 5 appointments with dentist half an hour

each. It's his first dental work. I never chelated my daughter, but

her teeth at this age were worse. I can explain it with the fact that

she drank a lot of juice from the bottle. So, from my experience,

DMSA can affect teeth badly, but juice affects them even worse.

Hi Moria,

Thanks for the comic relief. I've been finding all new ways to stress out

lately.

I tried doing " research " on DMSA's effect on teeth and predictably was not

too successful since teeth beget mercury (fillings) , which beget concern

and eventual chelation, so net/net there's plenty of discussion on keywords

DMSA, Teeth........but nothing related to damage to teeth, just chelation of

toxic metals.

Ok.......switch to keywords DMSA, bone..........same deal except now every

article wants to talk about lead........LOL.

Try DMSA, cancer (cringe)........ditto..........articles all want to talk

about effects of heavy metals and possible causation of cancer.

Try keyword " long term effects of dmsa "

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en & lr= & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8 & q=%22long+term+effects+\

of+dmsa%22

and you are led (no pun intended) back to our happy group and another

unanswered question.

I've only been a member of this list about 8 or 9 months Moria. I can't tell

whether it's such a hackneyed subject that no one can force themselves to

type out the answer or......It's unknown........or........it's unknown and

unpleasant to think about, so let's not discuss it.
