Hi, I've had a terrible experience, but that was because I used it after a mercury redistribution.

I have also had an AMAZING experience. I'll tell you about that. I used it ages back, and obviously I still used it a bit too early and at too high a dose and I paid for it, but the effects it had on me were incredible. I had the experience of feeling joyful, almost to the point of euphoria and my intelligence came back, I felt actually like I could do anything! The world looked a better place and I was very very happy.

It didn't last too long though because I got the kick back from taking it at too high a dose, but it definitely moved some mercury at that time from my brain and I can tell you, that it was just amazing. It is far better taken with DMSA for many people though, it's more stable and safer. Though of course you can use ALA on it's own.

The fact you are feeling ok in other areas and not really getting much symptoms from other detox methods, does seem to indicate you are ready to use ALA. Methionine is bad to use for mercury by the way. it mobilises it into worse areas and does not really detox it. (that's according to Andy Cutler). I don't touch the stuff, nor would I go near cysteine either. Both of them are bad for mercury poisoning apparently.
