Hi Linda, thanks again for your thoughtfulness in my regard. I think that my problem is too difficult, one that will not be simply resolved by diet or chelation.

Right now though, I am still sticking to my diet and I am finding it particularly horrible. in fact, I have just had an awful bout of crying. Drugged state all day and now weeping. I am that ill I am almost beside myself. I feel personally that my cheats over a long period of time have allowed toxins to accummulate and I'm feeling the brunt of it. I am on the verge continually of giving in again, but another part of me is persisting. Perhaps if I keep this up, the accummulated toxins will erupt outwards and maybe then I will feel a bit more myself again. If that does happen, next step is the dentist for composite replacement (if all goes well).

But again I simply cannot do a thing in my state. Not even possible. I can barely function, much less go into a toxic dental office and be exposed to a load of vapor. Two edged sword I'm afraid.

My body just hangs onto toxins like a magnet and this is ruining my life.

I really hope you a victorious in this battle! I truly do believe the bits of DMSA will be more significant than you realise. My doctor said to me it's about chipping away at it, taking a break and doing it again and so forth. This is not a race, but a uphill grind and you may find yourself up and down. One moment feeling better, then down again and so on. It seems to be this way. I wish it was a smooth upward climb to improvements but it seems to be all over the place. DMSA should somehow aid and quicken this process.

I would not increase the dose until you are completely comfortable with the idea. If you feel yu are no longer getting any effects, (increased symptoms), then you may wish to try a larger amount. But again, your body can only excrete as much as it can excrete and the rest is re-absorbed until the next round.
