Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Collin, My doctor had me on ALA and chlorella for two months before I started having amalgams removed. I could turn my tremors on and off with the chlorella (they got worse when I was taking it). I was much sicker in these months than before I started these supplements. During this time I had urine tests which showed I was not passing any mercury in my urine, so it is questionable whether either of these will chelate mercury on their own. I also had adrenal and thyroid insufficiency which went back to normal after I stopped the ALA and chlorella. Like you, I currently have very few, very mild symptoms, but I was quite sick while taking the ALA. The list of symptoms is too long to list, but my thanks to everyone on this list for getting me off the ALA and chlorella and on the right supplements. I am almost well now! My first filings are coming out tomorrow! Thanks, Dave > What are the arguments against a low dose ALA detox > before my amalgams > (10 pieces) are removed?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Hi Dave, Thanks for the info. So your saying ALA might not work on its own ? It should as everyone here is using it. I dont beleive ALA needs DMPS or DMSA to work. Ordered my hair test yesterday.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I find it interesting that your doctor had you on ALA and chlorella for two months while you still had your amalgams -- and NO mercury showed up in your urine. It certainly makes me wonder whether ALA is capable by itself of moving mercury outside the body. Glad to hear you are feeling better now that you have stopped them.

TK--- we don't know the dosage, timing or testing procedure. urine testing is also not informative unless done correctly as it only pulls what Hg is available from the kidneys at that time which can be none or a lot. ALA also excretes Hg primarily through the GI tract. > > It certainly makes me wonder whether ALA is capable by itself of moving mercury outside the body. TK--- it does and is the chelator necessary to remove Hg from brain and organs, you may want to review the book and papers on it in the files section if you need more info. > > Glad to hear you are feeling better now that you have stopped them. > > Zoe > > Re: ALA before amalgam removal > > > Hi Collin, > > My doctor had me on ALA and chlorella for two months > before I started having amalgams removed.

My > first filings are coming out tomorrow! > > Thanks, > > Dave After I first got sick and could not figure what was going on I took a greens product it had plenty of chlorella in it as many do. (I was trying to raise my PH) I was in bed for 3 days with a fever and pretty much flu like symptoms, weak, just overall sick. I would seriously avoid chlorella as I don't see a rational reason to use this product . In addition to contamination issues it is not a chelator any more than eggs, onions, NAC etc are. (sulfur etc). This will mostly likely cause redistribution. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
