I did not seem to experience this 4-6 month dump, but was on all kinds of supplements, and felt like I started dumping a month or two after, and it is still going on.

I am 14 months post amalgam, and have done 26 rounds of ALA. I did the last round 50 mg ALA only, and had some real rough days after. But I felt good, almost normal at end of round! It took about 3 days to have the symptoms go away, and now I almost feel like I want to stop this for a while. It's kinda scary, like "What if I am causing damage here?". I looked back at my records, and see I did ALA only one other weekend, but I did not have as bad a reaction after that time.

I think the ALA really stirs things up in the brain??? causing these symptoms. In the long run, maybe we need to do this to get the mercury out and be healed, but it is really hard to function when you are affected like that. I see there was a guy named Steve on here a year or two ago who cured himself doing a week on and week off of ALA only for months, maybe that is the way to go. Just tough it out, but I still want to know if this is safe to do.

Anyone else notice ALA brings major symptoms on after the round?

My other point is maybe it is better to just go natural, like Russ and Laura - they seemed to do better than people using ALA. I do know of one guy at work who had this mercury poisoning just like us back in the 80s, and he went natural, and after a year or two, he felt much better! And before he got his dental revision, he could hardly walk! He and a nurse who had this problem years ago were two of the people who helped convince me that this mercury toxicity is really true.
