Yes.

Basically he says that DMSA(Dimercaptosuccinic acid) is a neurotoxin because it competes with succinic acid in the citric acid cycle which takes place in the inside of cells in the mitochondria and thus lowers the energy production of the cells.

Neurotoxin means of course toxic to nerve cells. So he believes it will poison the brain cells by replacing succinic acid in the inside of cells.

The problem is:

DMSA stays mostly in your blood and outside your cells. It doesn't really get into the brain.

Then DMSA really doesn't get into cells because it cannot pass the cell membranes.

So to poison a brain cell the DMSA would have to:

1) cross the BBB which it doesn't
2) cross the cell membranes of the brain cells which it hardly does
3) cross the membranes of the mitochondria which are similar to the cell membranes
4) be present in sufficient amounts in the mitochondria to compete with the succinic acid in the citric acid cycle which is already there

Then keep in mind that he said neurotoxin. If dr. buttar were really right DMSA would be able to poison any cell by the process described above and any organ not selectively nerve cells, it would infact be least toxic to brain cells since it doesn't enter the brain!

It is already known however that DMSA is LESS toxic then DMPS and a substance of very low toxicity.

So dr. Buttar's argument is really retarded since DMSA would more likely cause neurotoxic effects by increasing yeast which produces neurotoxins or by mobilising neurotoxic metals etc.

To make things even worse dr. cutler which unlike me or dr. butter happens to be a real chemist and scientist said the succinic acid is not even that closely related to DMSA so the chemistry behind this is even more flawed. So even if it would enter cells it would not inhibit the citric acid cycle.




Some people get so toxic that they can't follow simple instructions anymore.

I think she used DMSA every 4 hours without ALA for several years because she doesn't understand how to chelate properly. DMSA and DMPS just clear the bloodstream.

Unsurprisingly she is no better and now attacks everything which dr. cutler says instead of chelating properly!
