3-5 years.

It hides in the bones where it is not accessible to chelation, so you have to

chelate over a long calendar period even if it is only once a month or every 6

weeks.

thanks Andy.

What about chelating weekly? Would that bring about a quicker recovery?

Not for lead.

Weekly for a few months, then every so often for a long time.

Mercury takes more frequent and intensive chelation.

Andy,

Would overall improvement be notable with ongoing chelation even before the

3-5 yrs time is up?

Any long time side effect with use of dmsa for such long period? (assuming

using weekly for 5 yrs).

Thanks again.

Andy,

We have been chelating my 8 yo son with 25mg DMSA

for almost a year now. He is also receiving 25mg ALA

for 2 months now. We chelate every 3 hours every weekend.

We continue to see steady gains. Should we back off to

everyother weekend or keep up at this pace.

I obviously want to get all the metals out Asap, but also

want my son's body to get some rest. What do you suggest?

Thanks,

Kelley

I hope Andy comes back to this thread.

After a hair test showed extremely high lead and copper in my son, I have tried

to chelate every weekend and have completed about 40 rounds with DMSA. After

about 20 rounds, with copper down in a normal range, I added ALA on the hunch

that thimerosal-laden flu shots, my 8 amalgams, etc., have played a role in his

autism.

Now it sounds like this frequent use of DMSA was a poor approach for lead. (Is

it merely ineffective, or actually harmful?)

Should I chelate with only ALA most weekends for possible mercury, then add

DMSA, say, 1 weekend per month to bring out the lead?

Thanks a million,

Ann

The issue is that lead comes out of bones at its own rate, and DMSA won't

chelate from bones/teeth.

It's fine, it just wasn't clearing as much lead as you would hope.

You can use DMSA if you want. There is no reason not to when lead is present,

it just doesn't speed up the lead's coming out of the bones.
