Yep, exactly my experience. Get rid of it ASAP. No need to suffer for years.

The protocol your doc used sounds very similar to mine, except my doc started the EDTA first (high lead here with mercury, some cadmium, some uranium) and then added DMPS to the routine. I went in twice a week at first and then once a week for about 5 months, got DMPS only once a week ever, and then, being tired of the drive, the needles, the synthetic chelators all around, I discovered that cilantro gave me the exact same relief as DMPS. I ate a good amount of cilantro twice a week for many months, I am slowing down and really should get back to it, just busy really. You need to eat a good amount of garlic with the cilantro, I also mix some olive oil and lemon juice in. In fact I like the cilantro better, especially fresh from my garden.

Outside NYC, I paid $120 per EDTA IV and I think $60 or $75 for the DMPS. I paid $120 for the vitamin IV pack after every 4 IV treatments. My blood tests cost $60 or so each, evry 4th IV just prior to the vitamin IV. My intitial blood tests were expensive, about $1400-1500.00.

I have absolutely no idea really how people put up with the Cutler routine. I don't see much space in there for renourishing with vitamins which bothers me quite a bit about that routine. DMSA works for me, but I would never ever take any synthetic drug round the clock for days and days so that part really turns me off. I use 50-75 mgs of DMSa only once a week, maybe once every couple weeks depending on how I feel. Mainly these days, if my hands are tingly in teh morn i will take some DMSA at night and it usually clears right up. But then again, i haven't been eating my cilantro as often now so that would explain the tingly hands. It is easier to pop a pill but it's not as effective or safe in my opinion.

I read somewhere that longterm DMSA use can cause bone marrow problems and that would make sense since it is probably depleting your body of iron if you use it daily.

40 or 60 DMPS IV's seems like an awful lot. i only needed several to feel whole lots better and I was real sick.
