Will ALA get rid of lead as well?

[Guest guest]

ALA is the only chelator we can consider at the moment due to

compromised liver.

does it rid body of lead AND mercury? or just from the brain?

sorry to be so dim

thanks

ALA won't chelate lead... but Andy Cutler has commented on this

situation before (lead toxic but can't use DMSA), see:

http://onibasu.com/wiki/Cutler_protocol

under the section " Treating_lead "

Most people with liver problems may tolerate low doses of DMSA used in

Cutler's protocol.

For liver issues (especially relating to DMSA), you might find the

following useful:

Hope that helps,

A while back, someone posted here that her son's testing indicated

that the ALA alone was pulling both mercury and lead. So I suspect it

does pull lead, altho probably not as efficiently as DMSA. I also

have received several private emails that other parents also received

similar test results, and they used ALA alone.

Based on my experience with ALA, it does pull metals from the body as

well as the brain.

Does anyone know how the lead levels compared to when taking DMSA? Are

the lead levels indicative of someone regaining metal excretion

ability rather than the ALA doing lead chelation?
