I woke up this morning feeling like I got hit by a truck. I felt like my life and energy was being sucked from my body.

By the time I got around to getting something to eat I was feeling cold and fluy. My sinuses were congested.

Very irritated by any noise, bright lights. I couldn't seem to be coordinated. I was dropping things and very clumsy.

I looked at my chletation log and noticed it's been six days sence the last round at 12.5 dmsa every 4 hours.

I decided to take 25mg today and within 2 hours had the fluey feeling go away and I started to regain some energy and life. My sinuses cleared.

I had a large bm which is a great plus with me taking the dmsa sence I am so constipated.

So I'm saying now that this is not a coincidence with me. I'd love to stay on the dmsa but fear it's not good for my already diagnosed weak adreanals.

Just thought I'd share.

I can have the same thing. Wake up feeling horrible around 5-6 days after my last round, go on the DMSA, and by the end of the day am feeling significantly better - fluey feeling gone, more energy, happier in myself. This stuff works!! But it's going to be a long haul... I am 15 months post amalgam removal and haven't added in the ALA yet. That will come soon.

hi veggiemom : I decided for now not to continue the dmsa ,It really messed me up on my last round almost 2 weeks ago ,I felt like right before amalgam removal ( don't ever want to go back there again,NEVER !!!!!!!!!) the good thing was i started taking activated charcoal again about 4 days ago and am starting feel much better , I stopped taking it about 2 months ago , and that was when my detox symtoms started to get worse ,so for now will be doing natural detox and taking my old faithfull "activated charcoal "

Nicola,
Please keep us posted on how you are doing, esp when you start the ala.

I ended the third round short a day because I forgot to reset my alarm, so I only did 2 days minus the night ones. I find it very hard to get up in the middle of the night it really makes me drag during the day.

It's day 5 since starting the round and starting to feel crappy again so I'll start round 4 tonight and maybe I'll wake up feeling better than I did last round.

I may even start just using 25mg dmsa during the day and not at night every 4th day and see how that goes. Maybe I can avoid the bad days all together. I think Sandi did this when she was taking the dmsa.
I'll keep you all posted
Thanks and I hope this a help to some.

It's probably not a bad idea to mix chelators now and then. DMSA for a while, then something else, activated charcoal, whatever you like, everything binds certain things a bit differently and the cleaner you get the better you feel. Fresh green veggies quite helpful in that area too. dandelion, asparagus etc. eat them raw.

I did 100mg every 3rd day, and I felt great on the days I took it....and good on the 'tween days too!!!

best luck Laurie,
Sandi
