And how many rounds have you done, and how long post amalgam removal? When I tried only 6mg of ALA with DMSA, it really wiped me out too. I took that as a sign that I was not ready to add in ALA yet, and need to do more chelation without it. If your symptoms are too much and/or are getting worse, then maybe you need to lower your doses or drop the ALA for now.--------Jackie > 50 mgs DMSA and 50 mgs ALA. I started at 12.5 mgs DMSA and worked my way up to 50 mgs DMSA, then added 25 and then 50 mgs ALA. > > > I had suspect this was the " shot adrenals " and thyroid problem; my doc > tells me it may also be a dysbioses or some other problem in my gut. > He says DMSA and ALA can cause weird bacteria to grow in your gut, > which is very bad. > > ----------Chelation is stressful, so yes it is added stress to the adrenals, and could make them worse, if they aren't treated. And many people say that yeast and gut problems get worse on a round, and have to treat them while chelating, or continuously, to keep it under control. I think yeast and gut issues usually get better the longer you chelate. So your doctor may be right, or it may be both, I don't think anybody can tell you for sure.---------Jackie > All I can say is that within a few hours of starting a round, I feel extremely achy, and can barely do anything. > > > For the record I do have food allergies. > > -----------Then this is a sign of gut problems, and it is very likely you could have yeast or bacteria or some type of dysbiosis or leaky gut.--------Jackie > I definitely have leaky gut.
