TK--- depends on how you are doing with your rounds ? None of the

general giude lines conflict, you are reading into it too much. ALA

is not recommended until 3 months after amalgam removal, some people

may be able to use it sooner. The general guidelines do not tell you

when to take this into consideration just how to do the rounds in

general as practically as possible. Going too fast is how many

people hurt themselves, be careful. We all know the temptation/need

to want to get well faster.
