Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 If he has lead issues then isn't DMSA the way to go?? From what I've read, if a kid has lead, then DMSA is a must-use! I would avoid the IV route at this point and use what is known to help lead removal--dmsa. W > Hi, > There is a physician here who uses IV EDTA and IV supplements (VitC,etc,) to help with chelation. Is this really scarey and should I run the other way? I think he also uses DMPS IV. My son has a lead issue so the idea of doing it does entice me. Please tell me the do's and don'ts of this method. Can the metals recirculate and go back into the brain? Please let me know. Thanks so much Kathy in ARK > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi , Thanks so much for your response. We have been using DMSA in low dosing 3 days on 11 days off and given every 4 hours. I just came off a weekend giving that to my son COlin who definitely has the lead issue. It is just hard to watch him stim and he looks terrible right now. Don't know if it is yeast or what, I just liked the idea of bypassing the gut!!! Any ideas? Thanks...Kathy merrywbee <maryandphilip@...> wrote: If he has lead issues then isn't DMSA the way to go??

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 DMSA is a much better chelator for lead. EDTA and DMPS can remove it but not nearly as effectively as DMSA. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If DMSA isn't tolerated EDTA can be used orally anyway. The only use of the needle is to give the doctor something to charge for once or twice a week instead of sending you away with a bunch of pills to take on your own.
