dmsa dosage

[Guest guest]

hi all, im here again, still havent started chelating, still really scared tbh

as we will be doing this without the doc, i think we are going to start, really

start this time, i have been doing a lot of research into kais hand tremors and

this seems to correlate with lead poisening, so we feel we are definately going

to run with dmsa alone for a few months and then add in ala when we are more

confident.

questions:

in the faq: it says if you give dmsa alone the average dose is a gram per

pound, now that scares me, he's 100lbs. so can I start him with 25mg per dose?

do that for 4 weeks, then increase to 37mg per dose for 4 weeks, then up to

50mg, (not comfortable with the max dose of 100mg). personally, i'm going to go

with an amount that doesnt set off his yeast, so if 75mg is too much, then i'd

stay at 50mg if you know what I mean, i'd rather chelate him for longer with

fewer side effects tbh.

how long do you chelate for with dmsa on average before adding in ala?

if it is causing stress to his liver and kidneys how will i know? what

'worrying' signs should we look out for?

i'm just reading so much good stuff, i really want to start it, whats mainly

taken us long to start is my suffering with lack of sleep, i have a 7 yr old

with adhd/asd who doesnt sleep and a 3 yr old who has been ill with ear

infections pretty much 2 weeks out of every 6 for 3 years plus she has night

terrors too pretty much every night, so my sleep is very disrupted anyway, and

we are just worrying that its going to prove to much for me.

I am also going to start the 7 year old on the dmsa and guess he should start at

12.5mg?

ah well we'll keep you posted

kind regards emma
