Well, I had my 12 amalgams out 22 years ago. I started chelating about a year and a half ago with DMSA..I started at 25mg every 4 hrs without a problem, then gradually built up to 100mg without any side effects..I really felt great. Then I added ALA at 12.mg evry 3 hrs for a few rounds, stiil felt great..went up to 25mg for several rounds..still felt really good, then all of a sudden all hell broke loose..muscle/joint pain,depression,anxiety,nightmares,weekness,brain fog..ect. I had to stop chelating all together for about 6 months. I just started to chelate again with DMSA only 12.5mg. I think what happened was after having my filling out for over 22 years the level of mercury in my body was fairly low and the DMSA cleared it out pretty quickly and I felt great, but when I added the ALA it started pulling mercury out of my brain way to fast and I just ended up with alot of mercury in my body again. But sometimes I still wonder if that dentist got all of it out. I have been trying to support my adrenals and thyroid before I start chelating again, this time I'll take it very slow with the ALA.

Thanks,
Roger
