[ Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) Update - Metal Chelation ]

Along with other things which puzzle me, ALA is taken in huge doses by

bodybuilders to trim their figures (by doing something to their glucose

metabolism, it is used in Germany for diabetics). They take 1,000mg

several times a day. Lots of them must have amalgam fillings. They don't

seem to suffer from re-distributing mercury to their brains (I will omit

a half-witted joke about body builders having no brains). Ditto the

German diabetics.

I agree that there is quite a lot of Pubmed stuff suggestive of

usefulness in chelation.
