Sure, Sunshine. The dosages are crazy high. Everyone knows that here. But the truth is that healthy people can stuff down incredible amounts of ALA without any problems, and I have seen that with my own eyes. I also understood that the question was about long-term effects of ALA when taken in *tolerable* amounts. I don't see a problem with that. ALA in itself doesn't appear to cause damage (given that some people can take even 600 mg of it), it's the toxins leaking out which causes the damage, if any. If you can keep them at a reasonable level there shouldn't be a problem.

If someone here doesn't like the idea of detoxing, one can choose to do nothing, but it will take a damn long time to get well in that case. Instead of one year, it can take five years or so.
