For those with high in candida, ALA + molybdenum + other candida toxin helpers will probably be the best alternative to detox with, if you don't use anti-fungals.


Taking ALA indiscrimmanently, or even NAC if you have suspected mercury (which is why people are on this forum?) will be the quickest and possilby worst thing you can do to mess you up seriously. With or without amalgams. Either taken the wrong way or taken at the wrong time etc. could screw you up bad.

Here is a recent quote from Andy Cutler who is a qualified expert on mercury and chelation to let us know how dangerous ALA can be.

It will be catastrophic for everyone unless done correctly.

I hear this story all the time, permanent horrible irreversible worsening due to
Using ALA
The way some doctor said to even without any amalgams in place. What happens is
The
Worsening is a slow inexorable process, the relief prompt but quite temporary.

This also goes for NAC. I think a few of us have been trying to warn mercury toxic people about these things, that whilst they maybe good for boosting gluathione and for the liver, there is the OTHER side to this. Two mercury toxic people apparently committed suicide after being put on pretty high doses of NAC from a well meaning doctor/health worker. The side effect from moving too much mercury everywhere can have serious side effects of worsening depression/ suicidal thoughts etc. These things may not be easily reversed after stopping usage.

Sunshine on here has already spoken what it did to him...It is NOT just a case of candida die off, they are not antifungals!! A side effect of boosting glutathione maybe helpful in yeast situations and may encourage the body to fight the yeast better, but because these products can mobilise/chelate mercury you can be in serious trouble and the side effects you get from these products may not be all yeast related and may indeed be related to mercury.

It is not just about candida, we are on this forum usually for more than one issue (most often candida/mercury). And many people with candida may have mercury and not realise it, so taking products like this may injure them. Products good in candida situations, may have the side effect of being highly risky if mercury is involved and so often it is.

I think if anybody wants to try NAC, it should be done carefully in very small doses and watch for reactions. ALA should never be used with amalgams and should never be used if blood levels of mercury have not first been reduced. It should also be used according to a protocol that has been tried and tested so that you will not damage yourself further. E.g. the frequent dose protocol seems so far to be the safest and should later on in the programme (at least in Andy's opinion and so far he has been spot on).

Salivating as a side effect from these things that boost glutathione maybe mercury related. It is what I suffered with metals for many years and what I suffered whenever given any chelation therapy. Salivation is spoken about as a classic mercury toxic symptom and you will likely see it on almost every mercury symptom list. Any health practioner experienced in mercury knows the salivating symptom is a strong sign of mercury.
