HI sorry, I didn't mean using 500 mg every four hours! I should have been more clear.

When I was talking about the 500 mg dose, I was meaning this in the context of doctors often using this dose and telling the patient to take it once at night, about three times a week (even your 250 mg is bad enough). This is the way to cause possible damage in a person and Andy Cutler has had to deal with many done in by this specific protocol. May not happen at first, can happen later. May not happen to you at all, but it is a sure fire way to risk it.

The way Andy Cutler suggests using DMSA is about 50 mg or less every 4 hours around the clock (yes even at night), for about 3 days on and taking a break for about 3 days or more if necessary and continuing that cycle. (or you can do one week on, one week off, whatever is easier).

The doctor you have may not be open to hearing Andy Cutler's protocol and many of them are sadly ego driven and get VERY put out by a patient questioning their protocol or giving another suggestion. So don't be surprised if you get told "The protocol I've given you has been researched and is the main one used by most doctors for mercury detox" this is a typical response.

I hope your doctor would be open, but I would have my doubts. You can research this protocol yourself if you want. The man who created the every four hourly protocol has a book that is very good called "Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment" and his name is Andrew Hall Cutler.
