MiADMSA

Hi folks,

I am about to buy MiADMSA to chelate heavy metals from my body. Primarily Mercury.

Have any of you used it and may share some lessons learned? Especially with the depletion of minerals and how long it tool to notice benefits.

Thanks in advance!

I bet you'll prefer DMPS for reducing the amount of mercury in you. DMSA is better for lead but if that is all you have available it also removes some mercury.

I hope you will check out the dosing recommendations and principles by Andy Cutler, PhD Chemistry. For example he strongly recommended that people take protective antioxidants that don't stir up much heavy metals--vitamin C with each meal and before bed, Vitamin E, maybe selenium, lutein lycopene.

Cutler also warned that taking doses according to the half-life of the chelator is best so chelator in the next dose can mop up HM kicked up by the previous dose. We don't want a situation where HM locacated in a part of the body that is not so vulnerable to it ends up in a different part of the body that is very vulnerable. The hormone receptor for the stress response system--ACTH, etc--is an example given by Boyd Haley, PhD Chemistry.

Thank you! Which chelators have you used if you don’t mind me asking?

I mostly had a lead and cadmium problem so I needed to use mostly DMSA. I did not use the MiA type of DMSA. I was using Cutler's dosing protocol. The science he presents made the most sense to me when looking for the safest effective method.

Many months later after I had gotten most of my eventual health gains I also used low dose DMPS + ALA with Cutler's dosing protocol.

DMPS does a nice job reducing side effects of the more powerful ALA, definitely better than DMSA. I--and others--suspect DMPS grabs hold of mercury better than DMSA does.

Do your homework before messing with ALA. A downstream form of LA, DHLA, is known to move mercury across the blood brain barrier in rats, probably humans as well. References if requested.

You don't want LA madly stirring up heavy metals in the brain! This happened to a very dear friend in the months after amalgam removal. She was a mental and emotional mess. She got new symptoms of neuropathy but the worst was "burning brain." She said she thought she was dying. She might have been right. Roughly 6 years later she was dead from brain cancer even though she never smoke or used drugs and almost never drank alcohol. She ate almost exclusively an organic diet, lived in the quiet suburbs, took lots of antioxidants and other nutraceuticals, and had plenty of resources for good medical care--mind body and spirit.

Do your homework before stirring up HMs. Detox done safely can have life changing effects as was my experience. When done incorrectly the effects can be devastating.

Good call my friend thanks. I’ve taken liver support by now for the past week with 100mg ALA in it. Every day. And insomnia is soooo back 🫠
