Re: Re: ALA - Alpha Lipoic Acid

I read somewhere that ALA should be use after DMSA. ALA is supposed to help with getting rid of metals. Something about the redistribution of metals in the body.Could you please let us know how your DAN did chelation or how did you do it.

>>>Some people just use ALA without using DMSA or DMPS first. They are using the Cutler protocol which was actually the first DAN protocol but it has since been changed.

Lots of information here http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/

>>Yes it does all of those things, its great stuff BUT it also chelates. Lots of information at this link

Are you sure you're not using ALA - alpha-linolenic acid? That'scompletely safe when taken daily.However, alpha-lipoic acid is not safe as an everyday supplement forthe general populace, because it is a chelator. It reduces criticalminerals in your body, including iron, through chelation.Nutritionists recommend that alpha-lipoic acid only be taken with amulti-mineral to replace what is lost. But there are safer nutritionalsupplements that do not chelate.>> I use it for myself. I am not trying to chelate myself.
