Official title
Transdermal Absorption of DMPS and Its Effect on Urinary Mercury Excretion
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
DMPS is a metal chelator which is approved for use in Europe. While not an FDA-approved drug in the US, it is easily obtained and administered by alternative health practitioners to their patients. A formulation called 'TD DMPS' (transdermal DMPS) is in use, despite the fact there is no published literature to support that the agent is absorbed transdermally. The investigators hypothesis is that DMPS is not absorbed through the skin. The investigators plan to apply TD DMPS to healthy volunteers and then test serum for presence of DMPS. In addition the investigators will measure urinary mercury concentrations pre and post DMPS application.
