I believe what you experienced was rather a liberation of a large bacteria pocket. It happened to me too sometimes. At first I thought I had Lyme, because of the pains radiating into legs and arms, and the tingling, but it wasn't that, it cleared within days, and everything was well again. ALA can do that, because it goes everywhere, especially into cells and brain, where e.g. mycoplasma bacterias hide from immune system. I always feel better and better after a die-off. I use also various stuff to cleanup the tissues from the toxins and bacterias, like L-carnosine, molybdenum, pantothenic acid and soon to add more stuff. Things have definitely started going well for me (and the change has been fast too!), once I forgot about the mercury and started treating myself for bacterias and other pathogens.
