Just to clarify for anyone who is not aware, Andy clearly warns

**against** using R-lipoic acid. Anyone using it is not following

protocol.

I have had blurry vision that has resolved. I hope it will go away.

In a recent thread TK pointed out that with 2 h dosing in the day it

would be best to stick with 2 h dosing at night, but not to stretch it

beyond 3 h. Stretching to 4 h at night is way too much and would lead

to fluctuating blood levels and lots of redistribution.

Note the key word here is " thinks " . He doesn't know. RALA is a new

product, not much is known about it and it would be best to not use it

again or better yet, dispose of it.

Now that you have redistributed the mercury it would be better to DROP

the dose of regular ALA. I would go back to 1/8 mg per lb or less and

dose appropriately, not extending the interval by more than 1 h at night.
