Hi 40yrs old.

Nope, I didn’t mix my D’s up.

With the Cutler protocol you an chelate with DMSA, DMPS or ALA. They are taken orally. ALA is the chelator of choice because it crosses the BBB and can chelate the brain, whereas the other two cannot.

Some people tolerate DMSA better than DMPS, some vice versa. People generally find DMPS better and more effective with less side effects and it’s more convenient as dosing is every 6-8 hours with DMPS as apposed to 3-4 hours with DMSA. However DMPS is prescription only and more difficult to get hold of because you need a doctor. However when you start chelating with ALA dosing of ALA is every 2-3 hours so can take DMSA at the same time.

Everyone is different and tolerates these things differently.

Obviously if you frequent dosed DMPS at high doses of 400mg-800mg then yes death will be a possibility, although some people will be just fine.
Frequent dosing at low doses is however fine and many people do exactly that as per the Cutler protocol, slowly working up the dose to as high as they can handle with as little side effects as manageable. The lower the dose the fewer the side effects.

If I could find a doctor to help me, advise me and prescribe me DMPS I would try it and see how I got on with compared to how I handle DMSA.

If you have Cutlers book, please see page 89, but the book is full of comments about DMPS and what/why and how it does what it does.

Not sure if you can see this webpage as you need to be a member, but this is ”TK’s General Suggestions for starting oral chelation using Andy's Protocol” from Yahoo Frequent Dose Chelation group. (from the file section)

I have just copied over the section about DMPS. If you can see that page it details the entire Cutler protocol in its basic form.

………..Most can't chelate for extra long periods. This is especially true when you add ALA and are dosing every 3hrs or more often. But with DMPS, which is taken every 8 hours (due to its longer half-life), people can chelate longer or even continuously with low dosages, as you don't have to wake up to take doses in the middle of the night.

ALA causes less copper to be released during rounds possibly causing
problems in the long-term (especially for copper toxic people) so the
off-days are very important to allow the balance to return to your system if you have problems with copper.

DMPS - Round one 5-10mg every 6-8hr around the clock for 3 days and
nights, the other rules [missing dose etc] are the same as with DMSA
and still apply.

Round 2 & 3 DMPS the same thing.

Round 4 DMPS if everything is going well and no intolerable or bad
side effects increase dosage to 10-15mg.

Round 5,6,7 DMPS same as above.

Round 8 - DMPS & ALA - If it has been at least 3 months since amalgam
removal or Hg exposure, and if, at this point, you are still doing well or better add 12.5mg ALA and do another 3-4 rounds.

Round 11,12,13 - DMPS & ALA - Increase DMPS if still doing well to
20mg.

Round 14,15,16 - DMPS & ALA - Increase ALA to 18-25mg and see how you
do.

After this point increase dosages of chelators by weight [the usual range is 1/8 mg per pound to 1/2 mg per pound] and symptoms, remembering not to increase by more than 50% of the dose you are taking.

If you cannot tolerate the ALA when you try to add it just continue
with the DMPS alone, gradually increasing dosage over time and numbers of rounds to tolerance. If you happen to do better on round
than off an option is to extend the round a few days 4-6 and see how
you do.

If you still do better on round at this point try a week or two, some people can chelate continuously with low doses of DMPS until they feel they are ready to add some ALA.

as I said this is just the DMPS part of the protocol.

Re TDDMPS: I don’t follow this too much, but I understand Andy Cutler does not recommend this style of chelation. I don’t remember if its because he thinks it does not work because the chelator does not enter the blood stream in a uniform way, or because he has not experienced/experimented with this style. I don’t remember which, but I do know this is not part of his protocol. If you search Yahoo FDC there are many posts about this.
