Re: A few rounds better than no rounds??

[Guest guest]

Margo. ALA is about the cheapest thing out there. Give up your morning

coffee, and you've paid for a month's worth.

Be aware that if you start to detox, and then stop during the " down

phase " (which starts about 3 months in and can last anywhere from a half

a year to a year), then you can begin to feel really sick.

I was wondering, still following the dosage set by Andy would it still

be beneficial to do some rounds just when one can afford to buy the

tablets.

Thanks Margo

Margo,

If it helps..dmsa is $28.95 for 120 caps. ALA usually cost me no more

than $3.00 a bottle. This amount last me a few months and we chelate 3

people. Often times ordering it yourself is actually cheaper than

using your insurance, because the copays are more than ordering.

and yes, when you hit month three..she's right, it gets pretty bad

without any chelation. We do rounds twice a month which is pretty

affordable. Actually, we spend more on the vitamins/minerals and such

than we do the chelators. I know it's daunting....

Dave & others,

Do you remember what page or chapter that info (3mth rule) is on?

I thought I took notes on everything--but my memory proves me wrong...

Study the graph on page 52 of Amalgam Illness. Dave referred to it as the down

phase, we often call it *the hump* as in the graph, it has been referred to as

the rollercoaster ride, etc. Andy explains that this is the natural progression

of mercury detox, that you will naturally feel worse for awhile, and he has also

called this the *stall period*, and then you will slowly start improving again.

There have been many posts about this in the past, and I'm sure you'll find some

in the ANDY INDEX, and possibly at onibasu/wiki, or by searching archives. I

know Andy has commented on this many times.

Thank you. I am in NZ and by the time you do the exchange rate it is

quite expensive. Iat least have a plan now so that is something.

I'll do that. I have just given the book to someone else to read so

will get back into it when it comes back.

Margo, some people chelate for 3 days on and 11 days off, so this might be an

option for you to help stretch things out, but still chelate on a regular basis.

And I agree with Jada, all the other supplements cost more than the chelators.

But Andy's top four or bare minimum supplements are Vit C, E, zinc, and

magnesium. So start with those, and then add others, if you

can.----------Jackie

You have to wait at least 3 months after amalgam removal to use ALA, but then,

yes it is an option to use it alone. Some people do just fine, or even better,

on ALA alone, and others do not. You just won't know until you try

it.-------Jackie
