Hi Bex,
You recommended the cutler protocol to me, so thanks again. Its not easy this mercury malarkly, but I feel that I’m doing the right things now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/inlove.gif" alt="" />

Re: feeling like a millions buck. I’m over the moon I had 4-5 hours feeling like that. Its been a long time I’ve felt like that, too long. I’m happy with that for the first round. I was expecting the rough-round-the-edges feeling anyways.

Tattoo: yeah, don’t want to think about getting that removed. No way! I did checkout various other forums and did not find anyone saying bad things about chelating with dmsa and having tattoo’s. Just that the ink, usually red ink, has mercury in it. Lovely. Time will tell.

Re 12.5 mg…that’s what yahoo FDC have been recommending furiously, so I asked them why….

We have found that when people start at higher doses they often have
significant side effects, get scared and then put off chelation for
some time without realizing that the solution is to use a lower dose.
Most people find a dose of 12.5 mg about right to start and if the
occasional person finds that they have no symptoms at all with 12.5 mg
they can increase in subsequent rounds until they find their optimum dose.

>AI doesn't start that low, (I think,) he just says "50-300mg
> every 4 hours".

AI was written in 1999 I believe. Andy's more recent dose
recommendations are at Moria's web page (1/8 to 1/2 mg per lb) and in
his newer "Hair Test Interpretation" book. In HTI he says to start at
one dose and then adjust up or down depending on symptoms. I still
think that it is better to start low as TK suggests. I was one of the
ones who scared myself with doses of 25 mg but was fine at lower doses
(and I lost a year wondering what to do, it wasn't immediately obvious
to me to lower the dose at the time).
