Re: DMPS vs DMSA, safety?

Very informative eric.

This is even more disturbing however if anyone decides to read.

http://www.dmpsbackfire.com/advocates/default.shtml

and
http://www.toxic-metal-chelation.com/chelation-synthetic.html


And then this really stood out

"DMSA and DMPS are available only by prescription. Respected toxicologists have told me that these chelators should only be used in cases of ACUTE metal poisoning, or as a last resort for intractable chronic poisoning. Natural methods should be exhausted first. "

This is contrast to what I have heard said about the dangers of chlorella and especially cilantro.

But I can tell you MANY MANY herbs you people have never heard of have binding and chelating properties. And I have taken quite a few things...

To sum it up I would say so far, I have been a good bit more scared by stories of DMPS than DMSA.
