Re: WHY dmsa - Test your bodys biochemistry
I Agree with Sunshine P.
Even the Pfieffer institute, that encourage the bodies own natural chelation process using MT promotion - Metalothionien, sometimes use DMSA to aid excess mercury removal, but Andys book is the most thorough scientific explaination. I have experienced struggles using DMSA, but then I was using 100mg every 4 hrs, but not through the night time. I began experiencing
Depression after a week of taking it and emotional outbursts within months. Then I stopped, and sought to have to body biochemistry testing, with pfeiffer testing. I had high pyrole which indicates pyroluria, thus leading to depression.
It makes sense to have some tests done before you begin anything to better understand how much dose and what else you need to take during chelation. It can lead to some very uncomfortable symptoms so be careful, but don't give up. Everybody is different, and everyone claims their remedy is the best. Listen to your body, get second and third opinions, and get continued testing done to help the process.
good luck
