I don't want to come off as being rude, but none of you are better from what I've read in your post history. Why are you defending something that hasn't done much for you? If you are "better", then exactly how are you better? Are you working now? Living a normal life? No complaints on a daily basis? That's the type of recovery I am looking for and I just don't see it happening on Dr. Cutler's protocol.

I've gone back to the frequent dose chelation yahoo group and it's all the same people with various ailments still troubling them. This doesn't really give me much hope to be quite honest.

As far as dosage goes, I am taking 25mg of DMSA every 2 hours and then every 3 hours at night to get some rest. Dosing more frequently is better for me than less frequent (every 4 hours). The headaches aren't nearly as bad when I dose it every 2 hours. I think this is round 5 or so since starting up again, but I had done about 10 rounds in late 2008. All together about 10 rounds have been done on 25mg of DMSA and the same thing always happens to me. My neutrophils get low (below lab range) and I start to get rashes all over my body which are unbearable.

I tried some ALA one round, but read a scary study about it redistributing metals into organs, so I haven't used it again. The more I dig into Cutler's protocol, then more I question it. I used to be a huge supporter of him, but since no one is getting healthy, it's clearly not working as intended. I'm about ready to abandon it and find other ways. It shouldn't take 6 years of chelation to get "better". I think 1-2 years is more than enough time to know if a chelation protocol is working.

Has anyone on the forum fully recovered since I stopped posting a few years ago?
