Thanks for the reply. The scary thing is that many antioxidants also operate as anticoagulants. This is especially true for me for vitamin E, as I get nosebleeds if I take more than a small amount of vitamin E. Vitamin C also acts as an anticoagulant , but the effect is milder. I am also wondering if the ALA also acts as an anticoagulant. I started taking vitamin k again, as I had some mild nosebleeds this week, and was afraid they might get worse. i also stopped eating garlic a few weeks ago, as garlic also acts as an anticoagulant. I think the problem is that many of the supplements I take have anticoagulant effects.

The knee stiffness I had this week was scary. I felt like I sort of couldn't even bend my kness much, and if I did, I might even damage them. It seems to be greatly improved today, but is still not completely normal. It felt like there was water accumulating on the knees. I guess a huge amount of mercury was stirred up this round and my body was overwhelmed. After this round, I am scared to do any more chelation. I was totally debilitated this week.
