Hi I'm in Perth Western Australia and am currently considering amalgum removal and trying to research the associated issues. I noticed the reference here to ALA and wondered if that means Alpha Lipoic Acid? Am curious as I have been taking ALA three times daily 150mg+100mg+100mg total 350mg for about 6 years. This is prescribed by a GP (unfortunately now retired) specialising in Nutritional/supplemental therapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (I also have Fibromyalgia, ADHD, have three children with ADD, Gall Bladder removed 7 years ago, Hypertension , started Estragen/Progesterone replacement 6 months ago,passed Kidney Stones 2 months ago and have just started thyroid replacement therapy for Hypothyroidism). Is this considered a lot? I am certainly much better on it than off it. I also take a number of other meds,vitamins & supps. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
