Is this correct? Not exactly. The ALA brings it out of the body quite well too. What the DMSA does is to trap free mercury in the bloodstream so it can't diffuse back into the cells.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 Kimo, Have yiu tried using DMPS with the ALA ? I can not use even the smallest amount of DMSA either because of reactions I have to it. I switched to DMPS and am able to extend my chelation time a couple days with the ALA. Also I can use a higher dose of ALA without the allergy symptoms previously experienced with the ALA alone. It is more expensive to do it this way but I can function better using the DMPS with the ALA.
