Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Post amalgam removal, I've been using DMPS on an on/off shedule for 5 months and will be adding Alph Lipoic Acid and have several questions. - Are there specific manufacturers of ALA that you can recommend (as I imagine all are not equal in terms of qualtiy)? Are there any that make ALA in 12.5 caps or tablet form to adjust dosage? - Is there a significant increase in symptoms when beginning the ALA? Are they minimized by beginning ALA at a dose of 12.5 vs 25 mg and increasing dosage after several rounds? - Using ALA in combination with DMPS: What is the difference/benefit of taking ALA every 3 hours vs. every 4 hours (and DMPS every 8 hours)? - What is your recommendation regarding number of days on and then off ALA/DMPS? Is mercury removal effective with 3 days on and 7 days off? or is there a significant benefit to the 3 on/4 off schedule? What about 6 on and 8 off? - Should the first few doses of ALA be taken before the first dose of DMPS, so that DMPS extends beyond the last dose of ALA in a round? - Are there any modifications in the schedule or dosage if one has an allergy to mercury? - What blood work/tests do you recommend during this phase of the detox? - My selenium level of slightly low and I have been supplementing daily with selenium. Is this a problem? Something I read on the site wasn't clear to me in regard to Mercury binding to Selenium in a problematic way. Also, should zinc be taken even during chelation or will the chelator (DMPS) bind with zinc rather than mercury b/c it's more readily available? Thank you for the feedback.
