Re: Fw: Is everyone experiencing this? - Kai

[Guest guest]

Thanks Kai for the reassurance. It is nice to hear from someone who

has been in the same place, and is now feeling better. I really need

to get my DMSA dose up I guess, to get real improvement. When will

you add in ALA?

I hope your progress continues.

thanks again

Your symptoms all sound SO familiar. I've had lots of amal;gam

fillings for 35 years.I'm only 46. Started chelating 15 months ago,

slooooowly worked my way up with DMSA , last weekend upped my dose

again and am now on 37,5mg after 15 months. Tried ALA twice but got

even more horribly sick with all the symptoms you mentioned.All the

time wishing I could just feel well for a day or two.

On Tuesday I finished my third round on 37,5mg and have not had a single

side-effect since. I decided to to add ALA this weekend again!(I normally

chelate every weekend)

Sept 06, I did my first round of ALA at 12,5mg - got REALLY unwell to

disfunctional. I was too afraid to try ALA but knew I will eventually. In March

07, I tried ALA at 3,75mg. Got all the same symptoms again at a lesser degree

though.It will be interesting and scary to see how I will tolerate it seeing it

will be the first time taking ALA when I have felt well. I decided to take only

2mg this time, with DMSA 37,5mg every 3 hours.

Hi Kai,

I think it needs to be said that this time you will be trying again with

proper adrenal support in place and sulphur food avoidance (which you are

sensitive too).

The other times there was no adrenal support (covacort) and in fact it was

the covacort that lifted you out of the ALA induced hole :-)

It is likely to go much more smoothly now.

Good luck this weekend.

We'll be holding thumbs for you!
