The problem too is not just the increase of yeast at the time of taking the stuff, but I get it long after I've stopped. And that's the issue here. One can put up with short term worsening of yeast, but when it's long term there is a bigger problem.

For some of us, we require to be able to function somewhat in our daily lives (family/work/responsibilities).

Jinx, I wish I could suggest something that might help you whilst you chelate to prevent this from occuring. This is horrible. I wonder if taking a lot of probiotics during chelation might help offset the altered bacteria as the ALA pulls mercury through that area?
