I don't dispute that DMPS chelates mercury well, however there is much written about its toxicity, and that in many places DMPS is only used as an an emergency treatment for acute mercury poisoning. Some are very worried about the possibility of kidney damage from using DMPS.

While oral DMPS at low doses is probably much safer than IV treatment at high doses, oral DMPS still has plenty of risks and is much more toxic than DNSA.

I know some people feel desperate and will try almost anything. Imo the most important thing is to be cautious.

I guess some people feel they have tried everything else and must try DMPS. Did you ever consider why DMPS is not FDA approved and why in many countries DMPS is used only for acute mercury poisoning(when someone has a very real chance of gying soon without very powerful treatment), while DMSA is so easily available in most places?

DMPS scares me, and it should scare others as well. I would like to try new things to get well, however safety is my primary concern, and I do not want to take something that might cause permanent damage. DMPS and DMSA were developed many years ago. It is surprising that there are no new chelators that safer and more effective than DMPS.
