Sosick,
I found a doctor in New York that treated me for 2.5 years, every other week with DMPS ( followed 2 days later by vit and Mineral drip). The last year with DMPS and Ca EDTA. For curiosity, I did a test where I went back to using Cutlers ALA protocol and then did the same 24 hour urine test as I usually did for the DMPS, the result was less than a 10th the usual amount being excreted. This in my opinion is the reason people spend so much time on these boards being sick using this protocol. It took me 2.5 years to get most of this poison out, I can’t imagine doing it for 20+ years.
40yrs, i thought about the urine testing you did and your calculations may not be correct.
You want to compare mercury excretion on a 3 day ALA round vs 1 DMPS IV treatment.
For this have to measure mercury excretion over a 72 hour period. You did only 24.
Even in that case IV DMPS is 3 times more effective than ALA. The problem is that you did only urine testing. With IV DMPS most mercury comes out in the urine. ALA increases mercury in urine and feces. Most of it is excreted in the feces.
So the correct way to do this would be:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
72 hour ALA mercury excretion in feces and urine
VS
24 hour IV DMPS mercury excretion in feces and urine
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's 'unfair' to compare DMPS with ALA and test just urine. DMPS will cause urine excretion. ALA causes excretion in feces.
I believe if you would do it that way it would show that ALA is a potent mercury chelator. You suggested it would take 20 years of ALA chelation to get the poison out.
If you measure the 72 hour period urine excretion it would be 'only' 7.5 years. If you add fecal mercury excretion probably only a fraction of that.... Cutler says it takes 1-4 years to detox.
Let me know what you think.
