Re: P oral dmsa or iv dmps??

ALA is working very well here. We are at 1/12 mg per pound dosing

(every 3 hours, 3 days on, weekly), and I don't intend to raise that for

quite some time. It seems to be making improvements even at the lower

doses I've used. I've seen others say that ALA appears to move lead

also, but I don't have any first hand experience with that. The other

concern with using ALA alone which I've read is that because it opens

the blood brain barrier (BBB) if the body has a high burden of mercury,

it is best to chelate without the ALA for a time to reduce body burden.

It seemed pretty obvious from symptoms here that it was mostly in my

son's brain, not the rest of his body. I don't think I can recite which

symptoms other than speech led me to that decision, but I know as I read

through all the materials about mercury poisoning it was obvious to me.
