At Air Canada right now there are seats from Vancouver to London for $274 each way. Seattle is a short bus ride from Vancouver. I think it would be cheaper to fly to see , and do the tests she recommends. Check and see if you are allowed to import prescription drugs. > Is it worth it? Just to get DMPS? > DMPS is very nice to have because of the longer dose interval and low side effect profile. > Will those tests tell me anything useful? > I wouldn't pay for the tests that the doctor recommended. It's highway robbery the way that he loots people. J > Sunshine > Quote

So to recap Dr Downing tests: urine test is 6 hours, liver test involves me taking things that make me sick, caffeine and I'm unwilling to take aspirin and paracetamol anyway…..and the stool test is discontinued……hardly inspires me with confidence. > > I'd first ask you why you want DMPS.

Options is all. I have done 18 rounds now and am at 5mg DMSA every 2.5 hours. DMPS is supposed to be a better chelator, with fewer side effects…I am not in any rush but if I can speed and ease my healing…great. If I can't…then what I'm doing is going really well anyway, as I said before I am a zillion times better than I was and am almost leading a normal-ish life now. I am not dealing with lead. I am dealing with MSC. ALA is next for me, but before I try ALA I want to be able to increase my dmsa dose and I just decreased the dose! LOL. > As for a mercury allergy - well, the first question would be, what would he do > with the result? I mean, mercury allergy or not you will need to detox. -----correct. I see no reason to waste my time and money on this. > PS.

On second thought, better yet, don't > waste your time. -------I argued with him for the full 2 hours, but I was after DMPS from him, so I did not question his methods, I just said I was only willing to use the Cutler method and was unwilling to consider anything else. I didn't want to piss him off because I wanted something from him. His criticism of something he had not read, nor studied was embarrassing to behold, especially as he markets himself as a mercury expert, but I didn't say anything because I was after something from him. Broking & negotiation is my profession and belittling someone when trying to get something from them is unlikely help me get what I want. Anyway….i will avoid this doctor and suggest everyone else does too. Sunshine Quote
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 i am from the uk and dr downing is one of many drs associated with bio lab and many of them claim to know about mercury chelation. i have seen two before i knew about the cutler protocol, and was told to take ala 400mg 1xday, cilantro,and chorella all once a day thank god i never did this.the point i make is anyone from the uk who see these drs cannot expect them to be sympathetic to the cutler programme, and can be very dangerous dudley > > > > Good for your for being feisty! > > ------------The doctor called today and said the stool test was no > longer done by that lab and there might be a lab in USA that we could > use……..wonderful…..just shows how much experience this village idiot > has with these tests. > > So to recap Dr Downing tests: urine test is 6 hours, liver test > involves me taking things that make me sick, caffeine and I'm > unwilling to take aspirin and paracetamol anyway…..and the stool test > is discontinued……hardly inspires me with confidence. > > > > > (...)
