Hi Gabriella, I don't know if they'd be much point in Claythrow going on DMPS. I know it's great that DMPS can be taken every 8 hours, which allows for a full night's sleep, but he's on ALA now which means he has to dose every 3 hours for that alone. So he may as well stick with DMSA.

Claythrow, those effects sure are unusual but may have been from redistribution. Which could be from the cilantro or extending the every 3 hours to every 4 hour dosing of ALA as you said. If I was you, I would go back to what you were doing as you're going to do and then later, up the dose of ALA and see if it happens again. If not, then it was obviously the 4 hour dosing that was the problem or the cilantro.

You could try doing it 4 hourly again once you improve, to see if it was that... but again is there any point in taking a risk? Cilantro I would not touch in your condition. You will still have a lot of mercury and cilantro can in some cases really muck people up. Others do great, but you're not going to know how it will effect you and ifyou're already taking a chelator that chelates the brain, you won't need cilantro anyway.
