Chlorella (1 g, 3 times daily, every day)

or

DMSA (800mg, 3 times daily, 3 days on, 11 days off)?

dmsa is more effective, but also more likely to produce reactions in and of itself, and those reactions due to pulling out metals, including good ones.

chlorella is safer

Btw, the way I'm doing dmsa is, according to the LLMD, a safe way of doing it.

During the 3 days I'm on dmsa (chemet brand), I can't take any mineral supplement, not even mag. This is the reason for then NOT taking dmsa the next 11 days during which I take extra mineral supplements and the body readjusts itself.

Then I take another churn, and then another, ...

So it's sort of a slow process.

Do you consider this safe?

I also take MSM supplement during the chelation days.

DMSA, a pharmaceutical, was developed in China in the late 50s. Action via sulfhydryl group. Needs to be given every four hours around the clock to prevent redistribution of Mercury and Lead into the Central Nervous System. Approved for use in lead toxicity. Causes major brain fog, memory problems during detox, depression and in children sometimes seizure disorders due to redistribution of metals.
Indiscriminate use in the U.S. Common dose:
50-100mg q4hr - 3 days on, 11 days off for 3-12 months.

My doctor uses DMSA rarely, if at all.

DMPS was developed in Russia. Available both injectable and oral. The injectable from can be used to mobilize Hg and lead from hard to reach places, such as the authonomic ganglia, joints and trigger points. The IV injection works primarily on the endothelium (several hundred square meters) and the kidneys. The IV form should never be used unless the patient is "covered" with intestinal binding agents, such as chlorella, cholestyramine, apple pectin or chitosan.

If your doctor has not treated patients for heavy metal detox extensively, if it were me, I would find one that has the experience. It is very difficult and tricky, to say the least. It also is a longterm treatment and is not done in 3 months time as many think. You can do more damage if done incorrectly.

Take care.

Part of the above is from some of my doctor's writings/publications.

Are you doing chelation while on ABX? That seems as if it would be very hard on the kidneys.

Is this true? I thought Chlorella was a relatively safe way to go...tho not with the same intensity as DMSA.

Also: GiGi..Dr. Klinghart writes about beta-sisterol.
He has recomended in a few articles the Pharmax brand.

I have been taking sarsparilla, from an excellent herbalist..
one of the compounds is beta-sisterol.
This was also the preferred treatment for syphillis for a long time before the abx revolution.
It is also used in many counties as a blood tonic, blood purifier.

Has Doc K ever mentioned the use of certain herbs and roots that contain beta-sisterol?

The very first thing I did was to prepare the liver for the detoxification step one month prior to starting DMSA (chemet-succimer brand).

I took something called MedCaps DPO which contains B6/12, folate, watercress, artichoke, milk thistle, green tea, msm, and other stuff. Then I also a lot of alpha lipoic acid and n-acetyl cysteine.

And I continue taking all of the above during chelation. Plus I load up on MSM before and during chelation days.

I'm taking it all while also taking abx.

How do I know if I have any liver problems?

I'm doing pretty good these days and all the bathroom stuff looks pretty good too.

I have none of the side-effects of DMSA as Gigi mentioned above.

I also thought that Chlorella was pretty safe to take.

liz,

Was this for me? If so, please tell me more about Dr.H if you can. Email if you like.

I just started with dr. H this month. I'd also like to know anything you know about him or his guru.

Who do you use now?

Thanks,
