DMSA (Succimer) – Brand name Chemet®. An oral drug used for patients with lead poisoning. This medication will bond with lead and then be dissolved and passed through the urine. It is used for chelating mercury, but many believe it is not the best specific chelator of mercury. Adverse side affects include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and possible liver dysfunction.9

I've never seen this before, but am wondering about this and DMPS. Ever since I started DMSA and DMPS chelation therapies my digestion has gotten worse. Has anyone else noticed this? Especially after I caved in and did the DMPS challenge test in October. Has anyone else had this experience? Did you recover from it? I am really considering stopping all drugs and going the natural detox method.

I also think it's taxing my adrenals. I was feeling pretty good after 3 months of no chelation in October, then I did the DMPS thing and felt bad again. It seems like everytime I detox naturally I get better easier. Recently, I started Colonix, works great and immediately I had energy. However, I did a round of DMSA and then felt bad again and digestion issues arose again.

Anyone else's thoughts?
