I am chelating with ALA alone I did 6 weeks at 50 mg a dose, crashed, took a rest for several weeks, did another parasite cleanse, and am now chelating with ALA at 25 mg a dose. If you haven't done a parasite cleanse recently, then I suggest that you do a month long one. Most here have had parasites. Most parasite cleanses have wormwood, black walnut green hull extract, and clove. Some have other herbs as well. The ALA makes me feel better overall, but sometimes makes my fibromyalgia symptoms worse. Mercury isn't the only problem that most here have, but it may have been what first made them ill. Many here have had mineral and vitamin deficiencies, parasites,and candida overgrowth. Many here have had thyroid or other hormone issues.
