I think you'd be extremely ill from taking it. They do not even consider the half-life of ALA and mercury redistribution.
Also you cannot detox with amalgams in. Period. I would not start with ALA right away because you still have body mercury. If you'd take ALA with a high mercury body levels, the mercury could actually GO INTO the brain! (I haven't started ALA yet) In addition, there is no more than some supplements and ALA in it. Just try the Cutler detox once your amalgams are out. I'm not understanding your aversion to it. /shrug You simply supplement with whatever you feel your body needs. You are essentially forced to take whatever supplements THEY think is important. The type of vitamin C in their formula is only to help stabilize the ALA and nothing more.
Setting aside the health risks of taking it. Here is the cost compared to DMSA/ALA detox. On their website they quote what IV chelation costs, but that is ineffective and dangerous.
Let's assume you'd take 36 capsules a day with Chelorex. One bottle would last you 15 days. At $90 a bottle you are looking at a cost of $180 a month. You take it once every 12 hours. About 3 hours after each dose, you will become extremely ill. This is when the ALA blood levels would begin to fall and the mercury would get reabsorbed into the brain and other tissues.
You can buy low dose ALA from this website with DMSA.
http://livingnetwork.co.za/zencart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65_74&sort=20a&page=1 100 capsules for about $32. It could be cheaper, but it depends on the dosing and what you want. If you detox for 4 days each round and take 4 days off, you are looking at 32 pills every 8 days. To make the math a little easier, let's just say you do 4 rounds a month. You'd be at 128 capsules. In each bottle the capsules costs 32 cents. So a 1 month supply of DMSA/ALA would run you $40.96 This other stuff you linked would cost you $180 a month to use.
Using ALA continuously for 45 days will significantly increase your body's copper load. You could in theory become copper toxic from using the Chelorex. In their "clinical test results" they conveniently leave out copper. I can't believe they mention NOTHING about this and it is known even in mainstream medicine to decrease copper clearance.
The one size fits all detox formulas just don't work. That is why Dr. Cutler doesn't compound a formula with every single supplement he recommends. Some times what is good for one person
e.g(NAC, sulfur foods) isn't good for another. The other thing that scares me about Chelorex is that they do not tell you how much ALA is in it. They could be pumping you with 600mg and you would have no idea because it is a "proprietary" blend. I've become very skeptical of these "mercury detox cleanses" that everyone in their brother are selling now. I've gotten very sick from them and now I know I can understand why.
