I also had an ALA infusion given by a doctor supposedly knowlegeable in mercury toxicity matters. I had massive visual disturbances during the infusion - I had to stop reading as I couldn't focus anymore - and I had a big headache. Later that evening I developed the most excrutiating gut ache I have ever had - it lasted all night, and I was absolutely wrung out the next day. ALA is high sulfur, and gave the candida a field day.

I also did not know that it was an ALA infusion - thought it was Vit C. Unsurprisingly this seriously tested my faith in this doctor. I told him about the side effects on my next visit - he looked them up and they were all listed in an official medical publication, so they are well documented in people who may not know they are mercury toxic.

With all the mercury that would have been redistributed, I consider myself lucky that I didn't have a worse reaction. Tracy - I would seriously question this doctor ....

How are you doing, anyway?
