Needing DMSA every 3 hours - metabolism and ALA frequency

[Guest guest]

Since increasing my DMSA (currently 8mgs per dose) to 3 hourly I have

had dramatic reduction in symptoms. in fact I now have no symptoms, so

obviously for me this was the solution to my side effects problems.

I am planning to start ALA soon but I would rather avoid the same

thing happening then. IS ALA metabolised in the same pathways as DMSA?

(sorry - I am studying the liver pathways but it's not sinking in as

yet!!!)In other words if I need to take the DMSA more frequently does

this mean I need to do the same with the ALA?

If this is the case I guess taking them both every two hours would be

the best solution?
