Re: ANDY? Confusion on dosage of DMSA

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I am not Andy, but you can find his recommendations if you go to the

files section of this group and click on the link " Andy protocol " .

I don't know your weight, but probably you can split the dosage

prescribed by your doctor by 2 and instead of taking 200 mg of DMSA

every 8 hours take 100 mg of DMSA every 4 hours. Or may be you will

need to decrease the dosage even more. Don't forget about vitamins

and magnesium. Liver support (milk thistle, taurine) may also help.

The dosage an schedule the doc suggests will likely cause you to have reactions

to the redistribution of the toxins between doses.

Hi Andy,<BR>

<BR>

I was using oral DMPS and then became allergic to it..all the typical <BR>

mucous membrane symptoms...my Hg detox DR said I can try oral DMSA...<BR>

(but that I may be allergic to it to as is similar to DMPS)...However <BR>

there seems to be conflicting info out there about dosage etc...and I <BR>

would like your comments on the following.<BR>

<BR>

He said to take 200mg, 3 times a day, 1wk on , 1wk off.<BR>

He said he has a few patients who couldn't tolerate the DMPS and are <BR>

on the DMSA at higher dosages and are feeling clearer etc...with no <BR>

problems<BR>

<BR>

Have you personally ever taken this high of a dose and if so how did <BR>

you feel on it?<BR>

<BR>

I have read your book and know your protocal is to use much smaller <BR>

doses, every 4 hrs.<BR>

<BR>

I talked to the compounding pharmacist who has been working with DMPS <BR>

and DMSA for years and she said she had never heard of using such low <BR>

dosages...She said DMSA is approved for lead poisoning and the usual <BR>

starting dose for a child is 100mg.  She said to treat Hg you have to <BR>

use higher amounts....she said using lower amounts won't cause a <BR>

problem, but wondered if it would really be doing any good.<BR>

<BR>

Would appreciate your comments,<BR>

No.

Yes, I took it every 4 hours, you should too, this is a fundamental

chemical property of DMSA, it has to be taken this often.

I guess she really hasn't been working with it much then.
