Treatment Protocol

Lead poisoning treatment protocols are weight based. For DMSA the recommended range is 20-30 mg per kilogram of body weight.

Here is a chart to convert kilograms to pounds that shows how much DMSA you should take based on your body weight.

Daily Schedule

You take the recommended dosage for 3 days ONLY. Then you take nothing for 11 days. Repeat this cycle for 3 months.

After 3 months you should take ALA (alpha lipoic acid), 100mg per day while taking DMSA. This allows the DMSA to cross the blood-brain barrier and remove heavy metals from your brain.

Questions

Question: Why go 11 days and take no DMSA?
Answer: This is to allow you body to recover. Your body uses glutatione along with DMSA during this lead poisoning treatment. Your body needs the 11 days ‘rest’ to rebuild its supply of glutathione.

Question: Why do I have to wait 3 months before I start taking ALA?
Answer: If you take ALA when you first start taking DMSA it may cause too many heavy metals to be put into circulation in your body. You may become symptomatic (feel very sick) if you do this.

Question: How do I know if this lead poisoning treatment is working?
Answer: You should start to feel better within about 3-5 weeks. Also, doing the 6 hour urine test will show the levels of lead and other metals in your body. Do this test after every 3 month cycle.
