oh, you didn't miss anything. there is no progress.

but thanx for asking.

and I'm sorry, but I think SoSick is wrong on this. It's the dmps that is more toxic, not dmsa. Dmsa has really low toxicity. remember, it has been used in children many times. but overall there seems to be some adavantage of dmps over dmsa:
- it has more affinity towards mercury than DMSA
- it doesn't cause neutropenia the same way dmsa does (temporarliy, it might make u more susceptible to yeasts and other pathogens when chelating)
- if u decide to take it the cutler way you can take it every 6-8 hours vs every 3 hours dmsa , much more convenient.
- it's sure that it doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier, dmsa probably doesn't as well so it's a debatable matter, so if u want t get your body burden first down first before going for the brain mercury , dmps would seem a better alternative.

the downside is, as I said, bigger toxicity, and probably the costs.
