could help, Andy would know. So my understanding is the only thing to do is to

avoid/minimize intake of sulfury (high thiol) foods and

supplements.---------Jackie

Question 2

so it appears ALA is sulphur based from recent questions, Is this so??

-----------All the chelators are sulfury, or have thiols. The true chelators,

ALA, DMSA, and DMPS, all have double thiols. That's what sets them apart from

the foods/supps that have single thiols. The double thiols hang onto the

mercury much tighter, and that's why they are much more effective chelators.

Read page 199 of AI. The first paragraph in the second column is one of the

most important parts of the book and one of the most important things to

understand about safe chelation, IMO. I didn't get alot of the other stuff when

I first started, but that was a nugget I grabbed onto. That and the fact that

the chelators have to be dosed on their half-lives are probably two of the most

important things to understand about Andy's protocol, IMO.---Jackie

That might partly explain why i had the bad reaction

If you want your sulfur levels to go down, don't eat any or take

any in supplements. Eventually levels will go down, but I think

you have to be very strict and avoid it for awhile.

Do I remember one of your posts recently when you mentioned a

green drink? These are usually sulfury.

Probably good to check your diet against the various lists and

make sure you aren't getting any.

- the first question here is, are you high in sulfur?

Remember, you need it to function. Indeed, if you are low, then

consuming more can help. So don't restrict it unless you have figured

out that you are high. Now, that said, all you have to do is go on a

low sulfur diet, and in a short time the amount in your blood will

decrease. (I gather this is a kidney issue - some of us retain whereas

some of us excrete more sulfur, or so I've taken it from Andy.)

As for ALA, of course it is sulfur based. It is sulfur based things

that bind tightly to mercury. The difference between it and most of the

sulfur in your body is that it is a di-thiol (two S-H groups on the same

molecule) rather than a mono-thiol. That's what makes it a chelator.

You want it in order to chelate, but you need to use it properly, on the

right schedule.

Perhaps there is one element of confusion here. According to something

Andy said off-hand at one point on the AM list, my understanding is that

taking ALA for an extended period of time significantly increases sulfur

(ie mono-thiols) in the body. This is how he explained the increase in

side effects as we get later and later into an ALA chelation round. Why

this should be, I don't know because I don't know the biochemistry of

sulfur metabolism well enough.

Now, as far as your bad reaction goes, I tried to describe what you had

done wrong in an earlier post. I hoped that helped. What you need to

do now is not decrease sulfur in your body (though that is something you

should do as a general matter if you have determined that you are high

in sulfur), but take a lot-lot of anti-oxidants.
