That makes not a lot of sense to me. leaving mercury in the brain is a sure fire way to cause many problems (including autism) and other mental issues and much damage, plus effect hormonal systems in the body.

ALA is a powerful antioxidant and happens to have the ability to bring mercury out of the brain. Redistribution is unavoidable, but can be lessened by a safer protocol (andrew cutler's for example). It also allows the brain to begin healing, hence the often miraculous improvements or recoveries from those using it.

PEople have used this alone and recovered from toxicity. I have no idea where this autistic guy gets his reasoning from, as he is basically suggesting that mercury be left where it is, because in actual fact, there is no such thing as anything having the perfect grip on mercury. But ALA is one of the strongest chelators.

So no, he is incorrect. the only way I can see there could be problems is if someone uses it in very big doses and indiscrimmantly and at the wrong time (too early on when blood levels are still too high) which might cause more mercury to go INTO the brain, rather than out of it.

I dont agree with the autistic guy, bright as he is, I'd like to hear him suggest how mercury should then be removed from the brain. As I have known people who have not gotten well with other chelators, but have done with ALA simply because they had too much brain mercury and only alpha lipoic acid was able to get them healthier.
