Re: How long does ALA chelation take for an adult?

[Guest guest]

I am more optimistic than that! According to Cutler's estimations, the

percentage of removed mercury after T days of chelation using ALA is

A = 100*(1-exp(-C*T)),

where C is some constant ranging from 0.0063 to 0.0099.

If you want to get rid of 90% of your mercury, you will have to be ON

a number of days raging from about 233 to 365 days, depending on what

coefficient applies to your case.

But I hope you will feel a lot better well before that 90% is reached!

Tomorrow will be my 100th day ON on ALA, so I guess I've removed a 46%

of my mercury according to the worst estimation, 62% if I am more

optimistic. Not done yet, but I would say I do feel a lot better now

than when I started.

Probably cleaning 98% of mercury is a good idea, but I sincerely hope

that something like 90% or less will be enough for healing. I am not

sure about this point.

Well, after about 30 days ON using 200 mg of ALA each two hours (with

breaks) I was very tired, so I downsized to 100 mg. It seems I'm doing

very well at that dose.

Good! I think I will keep at 100 mg for some time, but the idea of

dosing each hour sounds good to me... However, I think that Cutler

would say something like " if you have found something that works for

you, keep with it! " .

Good luck!
