Hi Rachie, yes somewhere along the line for many people, the mercury that is stored has got to come out sometime and the 6 month mark, seems to be the common time frame. For me it was right away, then a seeming "remission" then about a year or so later I copped it!

In fact, it felt worse than the direct amalgam poisoning to me! DMSA did help, becuase it chelates out the mercury that is in the blood/tissue. Though at this point, you could actually use ALA, becuase you are past 3 months now. But you might want to try DMSA for a while to be extra sure.

Some people find DMSA causes enough detox symptoms on its own, so they may stick with that for a while before adding ALA (or using ALA on its own).

I found I had to use the DMSA every 4 hours, because it kept the symptoms more even and manageable and I find it is a safer way to use it.
