Starting Alpha Lipoic Acid...

[Guest guest]

Hello,

Hope you are doing well. I finished my 17th round of DMSA, 12,5 mg.

and I am about to start Alpha Lipoic Acid, hopefully this week-end. I

am planning to start with 6,5 mg of ALA.. I have 25 mg capsules (so I

am going to divide it in four parts !!)..

I just want to make sure I understand the protocol correctly.. so I

am supposed to take ALA and DMSA every three hours, and every four

hours at night... right?! (I am going to keep taking the same dose of

DMSA, ie 12,5 mg).

Also, so far on every round I have been taking 1 gr. of Vitamin C

every time I take the chelator.. my question is: since ALA is anti-

oxidant in itself, should I reduce my Vitamin C intake?

Otherwise I am going to keep taking one capsule of Slippery elm every

time I take the chelators as it helped me cope with the DMSA, and

will keep with milk thistle 3 to four times a day.. along with all

other supplements..

Any other suggestions will be appreciated.. Take care everyone,

Michel
