The chlorella and ALA maybe causing the problems, they both mobilise mercury. Though some tolerate the chlorella, others do not.
ALA should not be taken at all, until 3 months post mercury removal (or 3 months post other mercury exposure). Otherwise it could make you incredibly sick! Unless it is taken at the right time in a controlled manner. As you are only 6 weeks post amalgam removal, your blood levels of mercury will still be very high, so ALA may take more of that mercury into the brain. Reason being, ALA is able to cross the blood brain barrier and remove mercury from there (and other organs). However, if you use it early one with high blood levels of mercury, the ALA could grab that mercury on its way into the brain, which may increase problems, rather than help them at this stage.
Some people seem able to do almost anything and start improving, others have to be very careful.
DMSA may help clear some of that out and may start to help you, but I'd advise taking it according to Andy Cutler's way (every 4 hours around the clock, which means waking up at night to take the doses also. You do this for a few days, then break for the same amount of days, then repeat and so on). This way it keeps the blood levels of DMSA at an even level and allows for more even and safer mercury removal. Some do not tolerate DMSA itself, but most can. You'll have to see how it effects you. Good dose to start is about 25 mg or less. You can increase later as you tolerate higher doses.
You are very possibly overdoing it and overmobilising mercury and could be making yourself very ill. Some handle it better than others. Even the sauna alone will be causing enough symptoms. Though sauna is good, I would not overdo that either. Your body needs to detox mercury, but not at a rate where it's being overloaded.
Hard to gauge how long it will be for you to feel better. You could feel better in a few months, if things go well and you're chelating in a way that suits your system. But to actually get well? That can take much longer. But you can "feel" better faster if things are done right.
If I were you? I'd drop the ALA right away (for now). You may need to drop the chlorella also, as some do not tolerate it. Some do, but you won't know unless you start from scratch and see what happens. THough you do need to detox the mercury somehow, which usually means exacerbation of symptoms no matter what you do. Key is to do this in a way that is not going to be completely intolerable.
Also, your body will be trying to eliminate some of that mercury on its own now that the amalgams are gone, so be aware of that. Spontaneous detox can erupt after last amalgams have been removed, because there is no more mercury in your mouth, which means the body no longer has to remain in "storage mode", so it can begin to dump the mercury. That can happen early on, or later on, or in stages.
Different for everybody. Taking supportive supplements like vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium (if you tolerate selenium), B complex, milk thistle, sticking to a healthy candida diet, with plenty of healthy fats(butter, olive oil, cococnut oil, cod liver oil, (mercury free brand like blue ice) and proteins like meat, eggs, liver and vegetables and then doing chelation at a pace that is tolerable to you would be a pretty good bet.
I wouldn't overdo the cleanses or flushes, because sometimes it can be too much.
