Good going Jinx.!!!! yes it is a sacrifice, but your health comes before having those teeth. I'm sorry you had to lose them, but I am hoping you will gain your health back with chelation. I think you got a lot of people on here that understand and support you. We want you to at least get past the worst of these intense symptoms.

As your blood/tissue levels of mercury are probably still high, they will take time to reduce. The body only starts reducing it after there is NO more amalgam left. So your body should probably be starting already and you will either have to wait for the levels to reduce over time naturally OR you can use DMSA to speed this up and maybe even improve your symptoms along the way. DMSA seems to be helping a few on here Jinx and I hope the same for you. I believe this stuff does FAR more than it's being given credit for.

It seems best to start it at as low a dose as you possibly can. THe problem is finance! The stuff is not cheap. But if you can find a way of getting some? I would buy 25 mg capsules and then spit them up to take half that amount (12.5 mg doses). MUST be taken every 4 hours around the clock, so unfortunately this means waking up at night as well (get a little timer/alarm clock for this). You need only do this for about 3 days (some choose to do it for longer). And then you take a break for 3 days or longer. Repeat this cycle for about 2-3 months, until you have reduced some of the body/blood burden of mercury.

Then you are able to use ALA (either alone or with DMSA). ALA need to be taken every 3 hours preferably because it seems to be used up a little quicker than DMSA in the blood.
