Hi Sunshine,

At some point you HAVE to try ALA if you are mercury toxic. It is essential

to chelation, while DMSA/DMPS are optional.

ALA crosses the cell walls, while the others only clear up extra-cellular

mercury. It is the stuff inside the cells that usually keeps us sick.

Thanks,

-----------From what I have gathered from reading these boards for a few years

now, is that everyone is different, and some people tolerate or do better on

different chelators than others. Some do report doing better on ALA alone.

Some feel they need the combination and do better that way. Some don't tolerate

DMSA and do better on DMPS or ALA. We're all different, and I don't think

anybody can predict who will tolerate what. You just have to try the different

chelators and find out what works best for yourself.----------Jackie

I have done 21 rounds of dmsa only and I just increased my dose from

5mg dmsa to 6mg dmsa which was too much and i need to stay at 5mg's. I

have not tried ALA...should I try it?

----------As Dean said, you will have to try it at some point. I am a little

surprised that after that long of chelating, that you noticed and couldn't

tolerate that small of an increase. So you evidentally are a very sensitive

person. But I agree with , that you should try ALA at some point, but do

so at a very small dose, like 5mg or less, and see how you feel. I wouldn't add

it to the DMSA, since you tolerate such a small dose of that. You don't want to

take too much chelator in total, since you are so sensitive.--------Jackie

I am 10 months amalgam free, dosing every 2.5 hours in the day and 3

hours at night, 3 days on tops.

--------------Hi Dean/Jackie/

I kinda set myself a target of not trying ALA until I could increase

my DMSA dosage. I just tried going up from 5mg to 6mg DMSA this

weekend and that's not possible as I got too many symptoms on and

especially off round at the end. At 5mg's DMSA every 2.5 hours and 3

hours at night I have a smooth and easy round with only minor minor

symptoms. 6mg's was too much…afterwards I spent two days in a fog

gazing at the walls. I am a sensitive soul! LOL. It passed and I'm

fine now.

Do you think its wise/prudent for me to do a trial run of ALA now. I

am 10 months amalgam free and I only have symptoms when I chelate.

When I break from chelation, for like a month to do other detoxes, I

am back to being a normal person. I am not in perfect health but I am

regaining it now, I'm pain free and symptoms free and life is good

again.

I have been considering not chelating at all now that I am better,

but I know the mercury is still in me from the symptoms I get when I

chelate…I know it will bite me in the future if I ignore it now, so I

will continue chelation.

My gut feeling says ALA on its own. I would try it at a similar low

dose too and the same timings.

I must say I figured my low tolerance to only low doses of DMSA meant

that I still had a high body burden which meant that I needed to be

patient and chill out and not rush things. But, things have changed

for me, because the chronic pain is gone…I guess the mercury is

locked away in safe-ish storage somewhere(everywhere) ………..so maybe

it is time for a trial of ALA?

Just having this conversation has made me think …… I think its time

for an ALA trial. Do you think it's prudent?

I would give a trial of ALA at 5 mg or lower. You can always stop if

you need to...

I do remember some people saying that they had trouble with DMSA and

less so with ALA only.
