"I might become convinced of the effectiveness of oral DMPS if I see that a number of people were cured using it. I have not seen that yet though, just reports of some getting cured and some getting worse with IV DMPS."

I can say this same thing for DMSA. I might become convinced of DMSA's effectiveness if I saw a number of people who were cured using it. I have not seen this yet though...Do you see where I'm going here? The difference with DMSA is that thousands of people are actively using it on Cutler's protocol and still there is little to no success whatsoever!

I want to get cured. Period. I don't care what it takes.

"No one seems to provide any data at all for humans. All the data I have seen is for animal studies. Who knows how similar the results would be for humans."

You realize that everything Cutler bases his protocol on are studies that no longer exist in print or are in Russian so no one can read them? The one ALA study concluded it moves mercury into other areas of the body which did not have mercury to begin with. I think you should really look into Cutler's science behind what he says. When I started doing that, that's when I realized his protocol was full of it. He's just a egotistical maniac who disappears on FDC anytime his protocol is questioned or he is called out.

I still do not understand your issue with FDA approval. Um amalgams were approved by the FDA... Also DMSA is NOT APPROVED for use to chelate mercury. How you are using DMSA is considered an "off-label" use and is not approved by the FDA. DMSA is good for lead and I think that's really about it. This is a study that was done on humans.

"I also don't like the idea that DMPS capsules are not FDA approved, and is not available from a major manufacturer. How can you be sure that the DMPS you get is in the proper dosage, or that the manufacturing process is good and the dosage won't vary significantly from capsule to capsule?"

Uh what? I got the DMPS compounded by College Pharmacy . They make all sorts of medicines for people and this is who also compounds my MethylB12 injections. They are a reputable licensed compounding pharmacy. This is no different than buying DMSA from VRP or some other vitamin company. Someone has to fill those capsules...

Here I am again responding to your post like a sucker. Good luck to you JK. I guess I abandon my own thread now. Hopefully my next post on this forum, I can tell you I'm cured. BTW I'm on my 2nd round of toxic DMPS and I have no symptoms at all.
