What a strange dosing. I mean so much of these stuff. If candida is your issue, which it appears to be, because you react badly to ALA, I would go on a low dose ALA alone, because DMSA allows yeast growth, while ALA as an anti-oxidant helps with it (giving die-off symptoms). What feels worst helps most, believe me. My suggestion is that you know you have candida, when you start reacting badly to things such as anti-oxidants, like ALA, E vit and garlic, but DMSA alleviates symptoms.
