Time

Edelson (2008) recommends a

‘daily dose of DMG is between one to four 125 mg tablets for a child, and between two and eight tablets for an adult. Initially, a person should begin with one 125 mg tablet (a ˝ tablet for a small child), and then increase the amount by one tablet every 2 to 3 days. DMG is also available in capsule, liquid, and sweet-tasting dissolving tablets.’

Rimland (1990) states that

‘If DMG is going to work, its effects will usually be seen within a week or so, though it should be tried for a few weeks or a month before giving up.’

Involvement

The minimum amount of time required for this intervention is a few minutes per day.
