DMSA is stressful to the liver. ALA is helpful to the liver.

[Guest guest]

I read that DMSA is stressful to the liver. ALA is helpful to the liver on

Moriam site but then I

thought I read in Andy's book that it was the opposite. Can't find place in book

where I

thought I read that. Can someone advise?

Also on Moriam's sit is says: ALA tends to lessen copper excretion--- so people

taking ALA

may have their copper levels increase. This can be a problem for people who

already have

high copper (which is toxic). This should be considered in deciding when to use

ALA.

If the counting rules apply and you have high copper, couldn't the reason you

have high

copper be because of mercury toxicity? Wouldn't the ALA help? What would I need

to look for

to make sure copper is not becoming a problem?

Thanks,
