Hello Tia. Glad you made it here. I was initially reluctant to take DMSA and tried to chelate using ALA alone. After a few weeks though I crashed hard. I tried again, and could not tolerate the side effects of ALA alone. A few months later I tried chelating using ALA plus DMSA and had much less severe side effects. I have been chelating for 4 months using ALA+ DMSA. My advice to you is to reconsider and think about using DMSA + ALA. DMPS is imo much too toxic and should not be used. DMSA is quite safe, however it can be expensive, and in some countries it might not be available.

How many amalgams do you have? I had 25! Yes, 25! It took me around a year to get them all replaced.

There are some things you can do now before your amalgams are replaced. The first thing I recommend is parasite cleanse if you have not done one within the past several months. There are other herbs that you can use that may help. I have posted about a number of these.
