blood Hg, fast body pools, etc question

[Guest guest]

I've read here and in the book about how DMSA is used to clear mercury

out of the blood, extra-cellular spaces, and 'fast body pools', then

ALA is used to remove Hg from inside the cells, organs, and brain.

I have 2 questions based on this:

1. My blood levels of mercury were 0 (undetectable) right at the end

of my amalgam removal. Does this mean i don't have mercury in my

blood, and a bit earlier start on the ALA might be in order? (say, 2

months post-removal, rather than 3, after 5 or 6 rounds DMSA?)

2. If DMSA doesn't pull mercury out of the cells, organs, or brain,

can it help at all to remove any Hg problems, considering that Hg in

the cells, organs and brain is what causes problems? Or does any

improvement in Hg symptoms have to wait until ALA is used?

thanks,
