I need some more evidence as to whether mercury is a problem for me or not. I'd been chelating hard for 7 months on DMSA and ALA, but with no noticeable benefits. These past 5 months or so, I've stopped chelating and have been working on supporting adrenals and thyroid. I was even thinking that maybe the DMSA had been doing nothing more than forcing my adrenals to work. But Since I stopped chelation I've been flatlining, just feeling generally bad -- still depressed, still emotionally numb.

I've had a hair test, done last January, showing no mercury. I have to say, I'm just not sure what to do. I tried taking a 200mg cap of ALA this morning to see if I had a reaction, but there was none apart from my adrenals being strained for a while. I wonder if I should try taking a DMSA dose and also wait and see if there's a reaction? Maybe 100mg? I need to know before I spend the time and money on chelation again when it might just be another blind alley.

Any ideas are welcome, thanks,
Linda.
