Re: Dave----how many rounds of ALA?

[Guest guest]

what symptoms did you have? What symptoms did go away from chelation?

Did you get well? Thanks

[Guest guest]

Nope, I've still got some lead.

I don't combine chelators, it's too much for me. I do one round DMSA,

then one round ALA, repeat, repeat, repeapeapeat ...

Ah - not quite sure. I've done 79 rounds all together - DMSA and ALA.

It's about half and half. Average length of round, 6.5 days, but that's

because my DMSA rounds are a lot shorter (5 days, used to be 3).

Well, someone asked me off-list just a short time back, so I'll just

quote my response:

Hey

there.

Ya. I've made a lot of headway. I mean, I'm functional, basically.

I'm not

lying in bed staring at the ceiling any more! Unfortunately,

stress

tolerance is still not good. I am able do something, but I don't have

much

stamina. Sex drive is back, without being overwhelming like it used to

be -

which is quite a relief. Fibro-myalgia is also gone, but TMJ is still

here (a

bit better though). Main things I'm still dealing with are trouble with

focus

& concentration and limited capacity for concerted action. Basically, I

think

the bodily stuff is dealt with, but there is still a lot of mercury in

the

brain. I was pretty far down the line when I started chelating,

though. I was

beginning to have psychiatric symptoms (and I'm now a psychologist, so

I'm

pretty clear on what was going on - at least in terms of how it would

be

psychiatrically diagnosed). So, I did expect this to take a long time,

and it

has been slow and grueling, particularly at the beginning. It really

took me

12 months of very insistent chelation (by that I mean, 2/3 time on, 1/3

time

off) for me to see the first hint of systemic improvement - though I

should

point out that I haven't been able to get past 25mg. Also, I've had

both

mercury, lead and arsenic

issues.

Anything in particular you're concerned about, or wanted to ask

about?

Dave.
