Linda, I keep forgetting when you had your last amalgams removed? My memory is pretty shot.

The first few years after all amalgams are gone are the hardest. I think you are right with the thought of "repoisoning" and many get the same thing.

Also in order to heal itself, I guess the body has got to start to deal with the underlying problem and dump the stored mercury and in doing that the symptoms seem worse than the original poisoning sometimes (did for me anyway). I wish the DMSA was a lot cheaper, because I think that is probably the most needed for you right now. ALA is really good, but many cannot use this on its own, too many emotional symptoms and not enough control.

Andy's book suggests one week on and one week off with DMSA alone in the early stages, but some people prefer doing 3 days on and 4 days off or similar. What are you like with just DMSA alone and giving ALA a break?

I wonder if your body is dumping a lot of mercury already and may find ALA too much at this stage? just a thought.
