Thank you for your input . I'm gathering that the reason for the

every 3 hours round the clock is that the ala pulls metals then loses its

potency and then the mercury (as an example) just moves instead of coming out

and

being excreted?

===>Every chelator has a half-life (the time it is effectively picking up

metals). Ala's half-life is 3-4 hours so you need to replace it this

frequently so that the metals don't get dropped and redistribute the metals to

places you do not want them to go.===>

How -- exactly -- does that excretion work?

===>A simplified explanation from my simplified mind is that excretion from

Ala is primarily through the stool, some through the urine. Is this what you are

asking?

Substances that are classified as chelators possess two thiol groups and can

grab the metals and escort them out of the body.===>

Is it necessary to drink a lot

of water? I haven't read anyone mention that.

===>We found that increased thirst dictated that she drank more so make sure

she has plenty of water available or is offered water. Ours would take her

water bottle with her wherever she went and drank at will. There is no minimum

amount of water needed.

Good luck, Francine,

Francine
