Guest guest Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 I think that is what people are saying, re: half life. If you follow the half life administration of a drug, you follow the half life. Increasing the dose does not increase the half life. The goal, then, is to keep that drug level circulating at a point NOT below half life amounts. That is not what you are doing. So, the half life of 10 mgs is the same as the half life of 100 mgs is the same as the half life of 500 mgs. You give the drug every 3.2-4 hours, regardless. You don't give it every 8 hrs or every 16 hours simply because you started with a larger dose. As far as the PDR use of DMSA. The AC protocol is not official. It is seen as overly conservative and inconvenient. Parents and patients here are just seeing less side effects, less collateral damage and (most importantly) results with AC protocol. Many have tried DAN! with horrible results (both physically and financially). There really are very few DAN! cases of recovery out there, so they are not the miracle workers they are made out to be. At one point, it was even commonly stated that one should expect/desire a 'horns and tails' period during chelation. I don't want to follow a protocol that expects regression and doesn't think it is a bad thing. As with many nontraditional health care topics, change is difficult and often resisted by those who feel they are in control (doctors). respectfully, Pam > > The physician's desk reference only mentions DMSA large dosage treatment for mercury detoxication. Nowhere to find the AC protocol. Could I miss something? The half life of DMSA just proves my point although there is no absolute linerarity between dosage and function time. For instance, 100mgs of DMSA in the human body after 3-4 hours is reduced to 50mgs. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
