I was just so struck by what you wrote about the numbing. That is my principle symptom right now. I cannot feel anything. I've been pinned down like that since January.

I find it far more plausible that mercury has done something to my neurotransmitters or brain structure than a psychological cause, which this doctor asserts.

I started taking a supplement that Andy recommends called Vinpocetine, which is REALLY helping my brain fog and headaches so far. I just started it today and I feel great. But the blunted emotions are still there. I wonder if only ALA will take care of that.

I also wonder if Andy has any tricks up his sleeve in terms of a compounding pharmacy that can make slow-release ALA that you don't have to wake up to take. I know he's skeptical of timed-release formulations, but still, someone might be able to do it.
