Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Started at 6 mg. ALA yesterday ... and doing it every three hours like a good girl. Amalgams were out the beginning of June. Doing all the right AI-recommended supplements, etc. No headaches .... but I am noticing a bit more muscle twitching than before ... and sometimes I feel like I am on a " short fuse. " Is this normal? Of course I automatically worry that " maybe he (the dentist) didn't get it all " (although he assures me he did ... he used all the right protocols, etc.) ... or maybe I am going to make myself worse. So is it normal to feel a slight increase in symptoms during a round? I keep reading about people feeling *better* on a round. I wasn't feeling bad to begin with (other than the subtle twitches) ... don't want to make myself bad! Thanks ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK---- Have you done a Hair analysis ? I strongly caution you to really know what you are doing before you start chelating especially if you have no health problems to speak of. Go very slow and be very cautious. 6mg is a good start, do not go over this for some time. > > Thanks ... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Yes I did the hair analysis. It was done a few weeks after the last amalgam was removed. It showed (barely) elevated mercury ... but did not meet any counting rules. I have no plans to raise above 6 mg. for quite some time ... but now you are making me nervous. > > > > Started at 6 mg.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm noticing also that I feel the symptoms mostly either right before or right at the time I take my next dose. Guess my body is " needing " it. > > > > Started at 6 mg. ALA yesterday ... and doing it every three hours > like > > a good girl. Amalgams were out the beginning of June.

Amalgams were out the beginning of June. Doing all > the right AI-recommended supplements, etc. No headaches >.... but I am > noticing a bit more muscle twitching than before ... I found that some of my muscle twitching was associated with lowish potassium. I use either alka seltzer gold or vegetable juices or bananas if I think I need more potassium. I think lowish magnesium can also contribute to muscle twitching. Magnesium seems to be used up very quickly during chelation. > and sometimes I > feel like I am on a " short fuse. " Is this normal? Many people have reported these type of symptoms. Irritability is also an indication of low Mg (if I remember correctly).
