Re: Using ALA *only* during the dump phase ... and general dump phase question

[Guest guest]

Depends how badly poisoned you are but yes, the dump phase sucked for

me. It lasted a good 5 months before I started feeling a bit better

again. It was at the six month dump that I started chelating seriously

with DMSA to reduce my symptoms, which became much worse. I would

think if you are using ALA only, you will want to add in DMSA to mop up

the mercury, otherwise your symptoms may become very uncomfortable.

I checked my notes. Looks like we (kids and I) did our first round, DMSA only,

about a

month post-amalgam removal (mine). Looks like we added in ALA to the DMSA about

3

months post-amalgam removal. We tried ALA only, another month later, and did

fine.

Nope, not horrible for us. We are probably only moderately poisoned though.

After going through the dump phase myself..I could nto even handle ALA

powder in my hands without side effects. I had to use dmsa for 16

months..it is only now after 15 rounds with dmsa alone, that I am

tolerating ala.

It won't be horrible if you use dmsa. I was tired, really drained. But

not any worse than before my amalgams were removed. Taking tons of

vitamins helps get you through it. Lots and lots of vit C!
