Change to protocol - Adding ALA

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm in the third day of a round of 25mg DMSA and don't seem to be

having any side effects. I have really bad depression but I had that

before I started the last two rounds and have actually had a little

relief since chelating.

I'd like to add 25mg ALA and I'm wonding if it would be okay to do that

now.

So, my round would look like this:

Days 1-3 25mg DMSA

Days 4-6 25mg DMSA and 25mg ALA

Days 7-9 25 mg DMSA

Or I could take a break after day 6.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

TK--- Hi All - change to protocol.

Andy has just commented that is some cases for certain individuals

continous chelation with low dosages is ok for all the chelators.

This is for those individuals that do much better while chelating,

do not have intollerable side effects while on round and I would

assume copper levels for these individuals is not an issue.

I don't think most of us can do this because of lack of sleep and

side efects but some obviously [may] be able to. He stated he came

to this conclusion after more data and input from people chelating.

If there are any out there doing this with DMSA, ALA or both I am

going to start a poll if there is an interest. There are a number

of people who already do this with DMPS which has always been ok.

I know myself I do much better while on DMPS alone but when I add

the ALA I do get side effects and can not continue beyond about 5-6

days before I need a break.

Andy did not address dosages. I assume it would vary but imo

lower dosages would be safer.

Simplicity of character is the natural result of profound thought...
