Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 I am doing rounds of ALA only. I increased from 12.5 mg to my current 200 mg of ALA each two hours. I feel very fortunate for being able to tolerate such dose. I know it is not necessary to go so high, but I couldn't resist the temptation. Of course, I don't claim to be doing things right: 200 mg/2 hours is equivalent to 300 mg/3 hours, and given that I weight around 160 pounds I am clearly using a dose which is supposed to be too high for me. The length of my rounds range from 7 to 10 days. The first 2 or 3 days of the round are more difficult and I feel tired. The tiredness is unpleasant but affordable. After that I use to improve a lot and feel pretty well along the round. The after-round use to be great. Last round, for example, I enjoyed several days of great cognitive improvement (vivid dreaming, easy recalling, etc.). I could recall easily images of events of the day, while normally my very scarce memory tend to be nothing more than verbal -or more usually, nothing at all. These improvements faded very quickly, but is encouraging to see that this brain has the potential to work properly. I think that this pattern of waxing and wanning of improvements is quite typical. I have had several other improvements that seems to be somewhat more solid: I don't feel hypo at all. Now is summer in Spain, so until next winter I will not really know, but these days I can be at the swimming pool with my kids for quite a long time. Last summer I barely resisted a couple of minutes! It seems that very frequent urination has ended too, even on round. Brain fog is not an issue anymore for usual life, but part of what should be my usual life should be to do mathematics and right now I don't seem to be able to do sustained hard intellectual work. However, I am able to read some non-mathematical stuff which previously was impossible for me to focus on. Fatigue seems to be gone but for the beginning of each round. Muscular pain is somewhat better. Previously while on round I experimented a marked increase of neck and back pain. Now there is still some pain around, but it does bother me much less than before. Sometimes I feel that some strength is coming back to my arms, but I am still quite weak. Libido is coming back, also with amazing periods of back and forth. After having no libido for such a long time I find strange to have it back! I don't know what of these apparent progresses are due to chelation, what just to supplementation, diet or simply amalgam removal. But certainly I find new progress at the end of each round. I've been ON with ALA for about 80 days and I did several rounds of DMSA before introducing ALA. I think that two corner stones for me have been the use of ALA each 2 hours instead of 3 and to manage yeast using nistatine, probiotics and a quite restrictive boring diet with no-sulfur, no sweet things, no bread... I know there is still a long way to go but know I think there is a reachable exit out there. Hope that this (errors included) may be of help to someone, KAI ==== , how many rounds have you done at 200mg ALA ? Did you increase from 12,5mg directly to 200mg or did you increase gradually ? And over what period ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
