For the record I did 21 rounds of dmsa only over 11 months before I even tried ALA. I was on 5mg DMSA every 2.5 hours in the day and 3 hours at night, 3 days on, 11 days off. Extending the length of the round by one day hurt like hell, never to be repeated. Increasing the dose to 6mg hurt even more. I was very apprehensive about even trying ALA.

I finally plucked up the courage to try ALA and the round was smoother, I had less side-effects on round and the results better than dmsa with color vision returning again. I am on 4mg ALA every 2.5 hours in the day and 3 hours at night, 3 days on, 11 days off. I did have slightly worse redistribution at the end of one round…but on another round I had zero redistribution…each round is different and ALA seems better than DMSA for me…which is lucky because ALA is the chelator that will make all the mercury go away….to quote Mr Cutler…..”It is the chelator of choice.”

Bex…..sorry…I forgot your birthday the other day! Its been in my dairy for ages….happy 21st birthday young lady!!!!

Birdlady….we see eye to eye on a lot of things. I started chelation 7 days after going amalgam free and I detox in some way every single day without exception. You said you think you are copper toxic too? Have you done a hair test yet? You can learn lots and lots of things about yourself in the hair test that Cutler recommends, including if you r copper toxic. I was copper toxic and getting copper out is easy. you find about about adrenals, thyroids, sugar problems...lots of things....hair tests are great.
