ok so another couple of days and more good things to report, however I have been noticing somethings with my experiments with ALA. With what ALA has done for me so far I have come to question whether its chelating heavy metals out of my body or whether its simply providing my body the other benefits it provides such as increasing the effectiveness of other antioxidants, improving liver function or raising my body's levels of glutathione. I have noticed with andy cutlers protocol that soon after taking every dose of it I feel really good and some symptoms seem to reduce dramatically. It really makes me wonder whether I still have any significant levels of heavy metals in my body at all. I have been taking methionine and taurine with it and still seems to have little effect, which is suprising as the taurine + methionine + ALA should be stiring up mercury in my body like bees in a bee's nest

I only took 2 days break from the first cycle because I wanted to get the ALA back into me as soon as possible, and sure enough once I started taking it again I got good results again. I have been missing doses here and there, particularly at night and still had not ill effects, whereas according to andy I should be getting sick. Mayb my body just really likes the nutrient boost I giv it from the ALA. Mayb I am chelating mercury out of my brain and nerves? Who knows, but what I am thinking is that mayb I should be on ALA indefinately!
