Hello Will

I am further along than you in terms of the time I have had my amalgams out (2 1/2 years), and I have been chelating for nearly 2 years, but you are WAY ahead in what DMSA / ALA doses you can tolerate! I have done about 60 rounds of DMSA at 18mg, ten of which included ALA (between 6.25mg - 12.5mg). I have had to back off the ALA for the time being because it mobilised more mercury than I could handle and made me sick again. I was / am very sick, and it will take me a long time to chelate all the mercury - years.

Cutler says to chelate, chelate and chelate, and then chelate some more. When you think you are done (in terms of symptom reduction, or disappearance) chelate for another 6 months. I think he himself is still doing the odd round, just to make sure.

It sounds as if recovery for you will be quick, but keep going. There is a specific forum for the frequent low dose protocol

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/frequent-dose-chelation/

you could try asking others there. Certainly, they will be interested in your progress.

Best

Nicola
