Hi, sorry I know i'm not Russ, but just wanted to make a point here. People who do not have significant brain mercury, will find they can usually cure themselves relatively easily by other detoxing .

Those that have significant brain mercury may find they are unable to improve until they use ALA. At least that is what I have read. Andy has mentioned this in his book amalgam illness, diagnosis and treatment.

Russ may have had mental symptoms, but that does not always mean it's from brain mercury. A poisoned liver can cause mental symptoms, or other toxic organs/gut etc. Also, brain mercury can cause physical symptoms, so that's why it can be very hard to tell where the mercury is.

Andy seems to feel that brain mercury causes more candida issues, plus hormonal problems. stubborn cases that just don't seem to be getting enough results from other mercury detoxes, are usually a candidate for ALA trial.

one person I know did it all and detoxed their mercury with every method they could. But they could not budge certain symptoms and they were quite distressed by it. Once they got onto ALA, they completely cured it.
