Re: At what point might we increase the dose - ALA only

[Guest guest]

Take it from someone who has been thru it, DO NOT rush to increase the dose and

definitely, do not double the dose. ....... this is going to take time. It is

recommended that you stay on the same dose at least 5 - 10 rounds.  If you

have

a dose that works and are seeing improvements, stay on that dose until you stop

seeing improvements (after the initial 5 rounds).  We were on 25mg for 30

rounds! Increasing the dose too quickly is a bugger to deal with ....... yeast

Don't increase the dose by more than 1/2 of the current dose. So if you decide

to increase it make sure you are using either 37.5mg or less. I am using 25mg of

ALA myself and a few rounds ago went to 37.5mg. That first day was the worst I

had felt in a long time. I now am sticking with 25mg for at least a few more

rounds and then I will eventually up it to 37.5mg. Andy has said that the

mercury excretion generally works in a square root proportion in relation to the

dose. So 2x the dose won't be 2x the excretion rate. Four times your current

dose, so 100mg would technically be about two times the rate of mercury

excretion, with 4 times the side effects. Clearly not a good trade off.

Good thing I asked, we'll just stay steady for a while then.
