I think its helped taking algin at the same time, I mean I haven't taken that much algin, only like 4 caps a day but still I think this is helping.

I only ever had 2 fairly small fillings that I lost when I got my adult teeth about 7 years ago. I may have also been exposed to mercury thru a thermometer that broke, which I think made me sick, but that was ages ago too. So i've probably just had this stubborn small amount of mercury or other heavy metals in my system that has been enough to cause symptoms and make me sick, and the ALA so far has been enough to get it moving. I do have a fair way to go tho...
