Well, this was New York. It cost $150 for the IV DMPS (later with Ca EDTA) and $150 for the IV of Vits and Minerals. then there was testing every 4-5 treatments $38 to see what was coming out. Multiply this by 67 (2.5 years). Why would they want you to do this 40 times?? You might chelate and only need 5. Then again you might need 67 like me, there's no way to know what the body load of Hg is, only the rate at which is comes out in a 24 hour urine test and the two are not related. I would n't just do 40 chelations without a full metal (24 hour) test the first time and then testing for just Hg every 4-5 chelations (assuming its Hg that is the problem).

Do not let this Dr give you DMPS without the IV minerals and vits a day or so later because you will get sick. One of the good and bad things about DMPS is that it is VERY effective at pulling metals out of the body, including the good ones. If he doesn't want to do it, walk away and find someone who will.

Good luck....
