A first page Google result shows: "Studies performed at Doctors Data Inc. laboratory indicate that oral DMSA (30 mg/kg/day) for 1 to 3 days only yields about 1/5-1/10 the amount of mercury in the urine as does a single IV or oral dose of DMPS." http://www.mercout.com/pages.php?pageid=9

The dosing above at 30mg per kg would be around 2grams per day of DMSA for an adult TAKEN FOR 1 to 3 DAYS! - which I see no one taking. This dose was only 1/5-1/10 as effective as a SINGLE IV or ORAL dose of DMPS. Compare DMPS to some of the lower doses of DMSA people are taking and it may be even more effective than I posted. I've seen autistic kids tests posted that were showing almost no mercury on DMSA and then went from 1 to 30+ on DMPS...even if we agree it's only 5x better that's still relevant to someone who is very ill.

However, this has ceased to be an argument about anything but JK98 being "right".

People have posted all sorts of things in this thread from the concerns that DMSA is dangerous, listed neutropenia side effects, proof that Cutler says DMPS is better, explanation as to why DMPS is not FDA-approved, etc. and JK's response is to ignore those things and come up with another thing that needs to "proven". Then it too will be ignored as another challenge is laid down.

I'm all for friendly debate, but this isn't it so I will bow out of this thread now.

Everyone needs to make their own decisions about this under care of a doctor.
