Now I am getting strong muscle ache just 28 hours into my fourth round of ALA chelation at 50 mg. I am now glad I didn't try 100 mg! I guess I need patience. Based on how I feel today, I think I might get a pill splitter and try 75 mg next. I actually saw one in a 99 cent store but didn't buy it. I wonder how evenly it will split round tablets though. I guess it does have to be perfect, but just reasonably close.

Is a strong reaction to ALA proof of mercury toxicity, or do some people who are not mercury toxic also get a strong reaction to it? I have never done a chalenge test or gathered other definite proof of mercury toxicity, just many symptoms that lined up, and that I had 25 mercury filings!
