I found this quote online and was wondering if this means that flaxseed oil contains ALA and is used as a chelator? I take a teaspoon every day but I was not aware that this can 'stir up' mercury as I was avoiding taking ALA supplements as I heard some people have bad reactions. Should I continue with the flaxseed oil? I'm a bit confused on what it does when taken alone..
Walnut Oil, Hempseed Oil, Flaxseed, and flaxseed oil are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),which is an essential fatty acid that will help the body chelate mercury and other metals. ALA's are omega-3 fatty acids. ALA appears to be a chelator that is less harsh on the kidneys and from my research I have found to be a great addition to a mercury/aluminum/lead chelation. I think one could get higher doses for chelation in a supplement form without causing liver damage. For less severe chelation needs, ALA's in walnut oil and flaxseed oil could be helpful for chelating in combination with cilantro and chlorella(30 minutes before taking cilantro
