I meant trying the DMSA by itself. Taking one capsule every 4 hours around the clock for a few days non stop to see what happens? That's Andy's method, at least initially until the blood levels are reduced.

At any rate, yeah you're right one shuld have a professional by their side. My doctor is the only one in my city that really gets into this, but she has not been able to help me since other things happened to my health. My reations to chelation now are nil, non existant, no improvement, no reaction like I once got.

She had her own protocol which I was supposed to follow and I tried, but got too ill from the chlorella. I vomited non stop, because I'm allergic to it.

So that didn't work. She's tried DMSA because she did not want to do the DMPS on me at that time. But again, I still got reactions. She had wanted me on chlorella (two big scoops at night), which didnt last due to vomiting. So she got me on DMSA (250 mg) at night, with garlic, I don't remember much but I'm sure it was too much and she reduced it to only 50 mg once per week and even then I couldn't cope.

So I got on Andy's and found I could do it with the every 4 hour method at that time. So that's how I started making more strides then, but my problems now are further than mercury , as I believe I pretty much recovered from it at the time.

now? My doctor doesn't know what is wrong, it's a mystery and she's really overbooked and doesn't take much interest in testing. She's new agey and wastes a lot of my time and money when I do see her. So I stopped.

Every other doctor here is mainstream, they do not believe in mercury, or chronic fatigue syndromes, candida etc, and I am very ill, so I need my present doctor to sign my medical form.

It's hard becuase I just don't have the options as much where I am. Not enough doctors in these areas and those that are, don't seem to be able to help. I have travelled also to get to good doctors, but to no avail.

I also get contradictory answers from each one, and no results. Right now I am so tired and sick, that I cannot even consider doing much at all. Yes, I know my hands are working Sosick <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> but trust me, that's about the most active part of my body.
