Thanks but I don't have candida and I don't react badly to ALA. If I did I wouldn't be taking it. I have tried to go without DMSA and have felt very bad indeed; I need it. What feels worst helps most -- what kind of logic is that? Look, I've said that I don't have candida symptoms, and that I've been on the Paleolithic Diet for a year and a half; I have never experienced die-off symptoms. I can take plenty of vitamin E and I can eat a whole head of garlic in one go without any symptoms. I appreciate that you are trying to help but I think I have a good idea of what my body is telling me.
