O/T - Re: sustained release ALA/DMSA

[Guest guest]

Syncronistically, we were just talking about this last night when

hubby was setting his timer reluctantly on a work night so I have keen

interest in what others may say about this.

We came to the conclusion that all things ingested need stomach acid

to start the digestion process and ingested material is only in your

stomach for two hours so once it's outta there it's a done deal,

anything not worked upon by the stomach acid will not be assimilated

correctly. Once in the small intestine other factors work upon it for

complete digestion, assuming that the process was started correctly by

enough stomach acid. This is how a naturopath once described the

inefficiency of " time release " vitamins. You can't absorb what hasn't

been digested with the right process.

So does this apply to chelating agents as well? Are they absorbed

through the stomach or intestinal membrane? If chelating suppositories

work, then maybe the stomach acid factor is redundant. What about

them, then, would they suffice if they were the right dose?
