Anon, I totally agree. Yes, there are people who get away with taking DMSA this way, but plenty do not and have been badly harmed by this method or other ones. I could not even take ONE capsule of 50 mg of DMSA without horrific symptoms that would leave me devastated for weeks on end.

But once I started taking 50 mg every 4 hours? This did not occur. Becuase it kept the amount of DMSA at a consistant level in the blood and lessened the erratic movement of mercury and kept things safer and more effective. So I was able to chelate and keep going.

A one off dose of DMSA or one that is taken less often than every 4 hours usually leads to a bouncing around of mercury because there is not enough DMSA left over in the blood to continue to grab the mercury that has just been moved out.

Again, some people still do ok on that method regardless. One guy I spoke to on email used 100 mg of DMSA each day (not the four hourly method) and has healed from mercury toxicity. So some can do it. But you'll soon find out if you can or not and I wonder is it worth the risk? ONe lady was flat on her back from one 50 mg cap of DMSA for weeks on end. She didn't know of the cutler method and that's how she spent much of her time detoxing, in great agony. But if there is a way of doing this without so much pain or risk? Then why not do that? The inconvenience of waking up to take the every 4 hourly dose is cancelled out by reducing side effects and being able to chelate much more mercury at the sametime.
