How about taking ALA while living in New Mexico? Arsenic is in the

water. In fact, many of my friends still bath, as I did, in the

theraputic arsenic pools at Ojo Caliente..

It would seem to me that chelating while living in NM might be

counter-productive? Dangerous even? I ask because I want to move back

home to Taos in the Fall.

(Oddly enough, though, it turns out that this part of Central Oregon

where I currently live, is the home of a couple dozen abandoned

mercury mines. So I have a crazy choice....mercury or arsenic?

Of course local officials say there's nothing to worry about when

walking in the woods because there's usually a boot between the dirt

and your body. heh. I guess they never heard of dust...
