Thanks Birdlady for the advice, I appreciate it. I am so super sensitive to everything so I will probably start with 5 mgs and work my way up. I won't even attempt ALA until I am able to get several rounds of DMSA under my belt.

You are very welcome Sunshine! I only speak the truth! I'm glad we have helped each other out. I hope your daughter continues to show signs of progress. I'm thankful that the knowledge I gathered from this forum has brought me where I am today. I have come a long way, and I know you have too, but you have reinforced my thoughts of taking charge of my own health because when you are as sick as I was, it helps to be encouraged by someone who has been in the same shoes and truly understands what it feels like to be given bogus advice from doctors who have no clue. Many of the skepticisms I had you believed also and it was refreshing to know I was not going crazy. Yes I do have Cutler's book, "Amalgam Illness" again thanks to your recommendation. I have recently pulled it out and have been re-reading it. Hopefully with the book and the forum I will start a new phase in my healing process. I'm looking forward to getting started with DMSA and continuing my journey of regaining my health. Peace and Happiness to both of you and hope you both have a lovely, safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
