Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I don't understand why I need to stop chelating if I miss a dose. I am on 50 mg of ALA every 3 hrs. It would seem that if I missed by one hour I would want to get back on ala as soon as possible to keep it in my system as to continue to help move the mercury. Once i stop why should it matter if I wait one hour, two hours, three...or three days? I can see three days on and three days off so that I can re-mineralize but I don't see why I should stop if i only miss an hour or two. kat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose of the frequent dosing is to keep a fairly level amount of chelator in your blood, based on the half life of whatever you're taking, so metals actually get moved out of the body, and not just redistributed elsewhere. If you miss a dose by more than a hour, and the longer the worse it is, your blood levels will fluctuate too much, and this can cause redistribution.----------Jackie I would want to get back on ala as soon as possible to keep it in my system as to continue to help move the mercury. Once i stop why should it matter if I wait one hour, two hours, three...or three days? ----------You use the same rule, as much time off as on. So if the missed dose happens on day 1, just take one day off and start again. I think you want to start with a *clean slate*.----------Jackie I can see three days on and three days off so that I can re-mineralize but I don't see why I should stop if i only miss an hour or two. ----------Up to an hour, it is considered safe to continue. Beyond that, you are risking redistribution and side effects.----------Jackie kat _._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!
