This would make sense. Both times I smoked cigarettes, I wound up with metal toxic symptoms from then on. Didn't know if it was mercury or lead or what (goodness knows) as well as all the other chemicals, but it's remained in my system ever since and this was many months ago now that I smoked them.

I'm on ALA right now and hoping it might help to get rid of any metals that "might" be there. DMSA doesn't seem to do much for me right now, I gather that's because it's more effective at chelating blood and tissue levels, rather than brain and organs....either that or the poisons are not as much related to mercury and maybe related to the other undesirables.
