Hi Tia,

My doctor also swears by EDTA, she put me straight onto the IV's once evry week for about four weeks. I really do believe that it is a great chelator of mercury because the difference i felt before and after the IV's was extreme with NO side effects excpet tiredness straight afterwards. The next day i felt GREAT. That was my personal experience. I havn't been for one for a while now due to financial constraints but I will go back as soon as I can.

The funny thing is i kept debaiting with my Dr about the effectiveness of the EDTA so to make me happy she prescribed oral DMSA aswell which ive been to afraid to take in case it brings my symptoms back LOL, still got them in my cupboard. If you can go for the EDTA id say go for it, seriously, it is so gentle on an already run down system. I can vouch that it never made me feel worse in the least - many people have had bad reactions to all the other chelators, i have yet to find one that has from EDTA. Hope this helps.

Take care. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
