We will, Rose and Albert. I just wanted you to know that we have been
chelating our twenty-year-old now for about 8-9 months. It is really scary
at the beginning, I think, because you don't know what to expect, but
eventually you settle into a routine, and things become pretty "normal".
Our son is making slow steady progress. He begs us to keep going because he
feels so much better after each cycle. (Not the day after, but the second
day, usually.)

We started out with just DMSA for the first month, 7 days on, 7 days off,
every 4 hours, then went on to DMSA/ALA every 3 hours, 3 days on, 4 days
off. We also test every 3 months according to Dr. Amy Holmes's schedule to
see what progress we're making, and to make sure he's handling the chelation
okay. So far so good!
