My health journey took me to a doctor who used vitamin infusions. When I was feeling very sick, I went three times one week for Vit C and magnesium infusions. Unbeknown to me, he also instructed the nurse to include a WHOLE SACHET FULL of ALA. While I was having the infusion, I noticed that suddenly I couldn't focus on the magazine I was reading - my sight was blurred and leaping around. I developed a headache, and later on that evening the worst stomach cramps I have ever had in my life. I was up all night in agony. The next day I felt wrung out and exhausted.

When I next went back to him, and tell him to never EVER do that to me again, he looked up the potential side effects of ALA on his database, and they were all there. The doctors know the side effects, but they don't know that they are caused by mobilising mercury!!

I think I escaped relatively unscathed by this ALA infusion, but it could have been much, much worse. It severely shook my faith in this doctor, who claimed to know all about mercury toxicity, and I didn't go back for further treatments. I got the Cutler book and decided to go it alone. I wouldn't trust any doctors who claim to be knowledgeable about mercury.
