Dear Heavymetalme:

One thing I learned is not to feel pressured to increase my chelation drug doses just because I read a post where someone says they are doing great on 100 mgs of this or that. Well, I don't do well on anything except 50 mgs DMPS and 25 of ALA. Then I read a success story on Andy Cutler's forum for chelation and he did nothing but 30 mgs of DMSA and 25 mgs of ALA for the WHOLE time.

My point is, that is takes time and everybody's body is different. Some of us can take the high doses, some can't. Don't feel discouraged if low doses are all you can do AND function. The key word here is FUNCTION. I cannot, at this point function beyond the low doses. My new thought is "SO WHAT", it's like I got competitive with dosing. I guess it's my type A personality -- LOL...anyway, hope this helps someone out there.
