jinx,
you better focus more more in doing the Cutler protocol the right way.
I think you are playing with fire by not following the Cutler protocol.
Starting ALA at 12 mg is too much.
Many of us been in your situation.If DMSA does not at 4 hours then try to take it every 3 hours, if DMSA don't work then try to DMPS every 8 hours then try every 6 hours.
Go slow.
Dont use ALA yet until you find what work best for you.
Trust me my man, we are all embark in this journey for a long time.
