HI Tgoss, if you take the DMSA every 4 hours, your symptoms will be more likely to remain stable. If you take it according to your doctor's instruction, they will likely get more unstable.

This is all down to the way mercury is moved and if DMSA is taken randomly and not every 4 hours to keep the blood levels even, then mercury will be moved randomly also and can then go into worse and more sensitive areas. Some people get away with it because they are able to detox easier and can get well from almost anything that simply mobilises mercury.

most of us are toxic and injured already and cannot afford to cause worse redistribution fo mercury.

I can understand your fears. Sometimes DMSA, even taken safely can worsen symptoms if you are very toxic, but sometimes it can actually help them and make a person feel better. It is not easy enough to predict what will occur.

Some get more tired, sleepy and achey as mercury is being moved/removed. Others become more hyped up and energetic or racy. The symptoms can chop and change too, so it's not easy to predict.

It's up to you if you want to give it a go. But leaving the mercury where it is, is not good either, so it's a catch 22 situation. You feel a bit damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I can tell you that a pretty good stable dose is about 25 mg of DMSA taken simply every 4 hours (during the night too) for about 3 or more days and breaking for the same amount. If you take DMSA according to your doctor's instruction, you may find it mobilises mercury to much and too erratically because it's not using DMSA in a way that keeps the blood levels even.

I have had different experiences with DMSA, but my problems now are complicated by many issues, not just mercury. But in the past, when it was just mercury, I tried many chelation routines and had explosive reactions, dangerous reactions to the point where I woudl be SCREAMING and salivating like crazy. But when I used this method (every 4 hours), I was able to keep the symptoms more even and balanced, though of course, as the chelation round went on, I began to feel the symptoms of tiredness, achiness and sleepiness and would end up stopping the round if I felt it got too much, and then I'd break for a few days or more and do another round.

I did improve gradually from this. So yes it does work. Nowadays I'm dealing with other toxicities, like possible jawbone infection etc, so I'm not really able to gain improvements now.
