Guest guest Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I'm not sure what you mean by " mixing the chelators. " Alpha Lipoic Acid is routinely given with DMPS. We don't mix DMSA and DMPS and we don't mix oral DMPS with oral DMPS. I would do one or the other. The real question is what dosing schedule to use. We give DMPS every 8 hours and DMPS/ALA every 3 hours consistent with the kinetics of the chelators. I am not familiar with the kinetics of TD-DMPS but I wonder if it can maintain constant levels for 48 hours. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Andy, According to Dr. Buttar, the maximum dose of TD-DMPS for a child or adult is 60 drops per 48 hours. If we wanted to try this on an q 8 hour schedule, would we give 10 drops every 8 hours for 3 days the 4 days off along with vitamins, minerals, throughout? I am already doing something similar orally however we use ALA for 2 days in between DMPS orally. I guess I am curious as to whether the transdermal might be more effective than oral.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 What you suggest here sounds completely reaosnable. I don't have a very good way to establish what the proper dosage of the TD DMPS is (does anyone actually know how much DMPS is in 60 drops anyway?), but I think that combining my suggestion (every 8 hours) with Dr. Buttar's (60 drops max) is a reasonable way to go.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Hi Andy: What combination of your protocol and Buttar's protocol would be appropriate. Your protocol doing TD-DMPS every 8 hours........ for how many days on and off???? when do we add minerals????? when should challenge tests be done???? when should RBC, etc be done??? I want to chelate my son in January with TD-DMPS, but want to it the best and safe way possible. Appreciate your comments.
