I am about 5 months post amalgam removal now. My doctor does not want me to start DMSA for about another month. I have been getting annoyed about waiting so long to start chelation that I went out and bought some ALA a couple of days ago.

Just wondering if my reaction is normal - major brain fog, numb tongue, sore liver and generally feeling toxic and irritable. Is this a herxheimer reaction or is this showing that I shouldn't be taking ALA? I can put up with the symptoms.

Also my diet has gone to pot. So if i cleaned up my diet somewhat do you think that I may have less of a reaction?

Cheers, Rachel
