Guest guest Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Got two issues concerning ala alone chelation: 1)Let's assume that one has to use ALA alone (the cutler way) for mercury detox cause they cant handle dmsa or use dmps for some reason and that it's been at least 6 months post removal. Now given the fact that one can have a high body burden isn't it danegroues to use ALA for possible gettin more emrcury ino the brain? yeah the blood levels can still be low, but it never made sense to me, cause ala is not selective, it will pick up mercury everywhere in the body and as long as it's in the blood it will carry it across the blood brain barrier and then dump it in the brain at the end of the round. So let's say 70% of mercury is body burden 30% is brain, so when using ala can that get all mixed up? (like 40% brain 60% body though of course overall less mercury cause you're chelating). And even if not, if u have high body burden and chelate with ALA solely u still need to use dozens of rounds to get better, and along the way it's dozens of brain mercury redistribution (each one for the end of each round) and that in itself seems dangerous (cause each time mercury settles in brain it will cause damage). Of course the closer you are to the end of chelation process the less emrcury will settle, but tat's the end phase of chelation, but in the starting phase there will be a lot of it cause you have high body burden. Of course the ideal situation would be getting the body burden down first with dmps/dmsa, but as I said, what if some people cant use those. 2) the ALA-Hg chelate is as andy says mainly metabolised throught the bile pathway, so most of the ala chelated mercury ends up in the digestive track and toxins are known to easily get reabsorbed from the digestive track unless removed quickly, so would that be counterproductive in many cases , and would there be a danger of mercury brain redistribution since it's an ALA-Hg-chelate that can easily crosses the BBB (...or doesnt?) thx Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK--- start with low doses and do longer rounds if possible to prevent redistribution. Now given the fact > that one can have a high body burden isn't it danegroues to use ALA > for possible gettin more emrcury ino the brain? TK--- It is better to reduce body burden as it can reduce side effects but not always necessary especially after 3 months. yeah the blood levels > can still be low, but it never made sense to me, cause ala is not > selective, it will pick up mercury everywhere in the body and as long > as it's in the blood it will carry it across the blood brain barrier > and then dump it in the brain at the end of the round. TK--- if you use the protocol correctly only a small amount is redistributed at the end of a round and this amount is redistributed everywhere not just back to your brain, if at all back to it, as it attaches back to whatever sites it is near.

Unless you are lucky and are not very toxic you will need many rounds of any of the chelators to get well but only ALA will get the Hg out of your brain where it screws things up the most. , and along > the way it's dozens of brain mercury redistribution (each one for the > end of each round) TK--- it would be redistributed everywhere not specifically to the brain, if at all to the brain - none of it may get back there before it attaches elesewhere first. and that in itself seems dangerous (cause each time > mercury settles in brain it will cause damage). Of course the closer > you are to the end of chelation process the less emrcury will settle, > but tat's the end phase of chelation, but in the starting phase there > will be a lot of it cause you have high body burden.
