Hi,

Maybe you all could help me think this through. I'm curious whether the

improvements seen with ALA use come from it's role an an antioxidant rather than

as a chelator. I'm looking into a possible mitochondrial condition with my son

and I'm noticing that lots of regular mainstream doctors recommend ALA for these

conditions.

So, if using ALA as an antioxidant, I guess you should still follow an

appropriate chelation protocol since you'll get metal distribution otherwise???

Thanks,

Did you do an essential elements hair test and what did that show?

Right. Most people in our society have been exposed to heavy metals and that

means that we all need to use ALA at 3 h intervals (or less) in order to get a

net movement of metals out of the body and brain. When ALA is used at high

infrequent doses it will force metals INTO the brain leading to long term

worsening.

Andy often says that the chemicals do what they do based on natural laws and do

not do what they do based on what a doctor thinks they might do. That means

that the ALA will act as a chelator even if the doctor does not know that's what

it does or intend it to chelate.

If a person is mercury toxic you cannot use ALA as an antioxidant, you need to

follow a chelation schedule and take breaks.
