Bex all my problems started with an infection from wearing contact lenses. I may well have been poisoned before but that triggered my immune system to start reacting the way it did. I still remember that day as i was in school and had to return home as the area around my right eye became so inflamed, After that everything just seemed to snowball in the worst way. That is really unusual, thanks for sharing that. Wow! It makes me feel less isolated, because I had trouble convincing anybody that a localised eye infection became systemic in my case. And stayed like that since. I think possibly it was the mercury poisoned immunity that made way for that to occur, but I could be wrong. However, at the time, i was also in the process of detoxing mercury very strongly and I may have been far more vulnerable. But in your case, looks like a typical scenario of a person's body battling the mercury for a long time without obvious symptoms, until something else comes along to give you just enough of a knock to fall into chronic toxicity. I've heard similar. I don't think im going to take ALA. For me its way too dangerous. I'm going to stick to taking DMSA for the time being. I don't get the crazy thoughts i get when taking ALA. Im also taking small amounts of cilantro around the clock. I know many will say you can't get better without ALA, well i will not touch it until i've put at least another 10lbs on(i cant seem to gain weight either).
It's not unusual to get symptoms in the mind from using ALA. Unfortunately, unlike DMSA it does not suppress symptoms AT ALL. However, it's the only true brain chelating agent that Andy can recommend with a proper protocol attached. he does not know exactly how cilantro works to be able to suggest a protocol - which is why he won't recommend it. However, he has suggested that some can/do use it with some results and I'm sure he's also said that if ALA is not tolerated then they maybe able to try cilantro. But certainly he himself does not really recommend the stuff. If someone is going to try it, then definitely after reducing blood levels further. My candida is terrible though i'm starting to get it under control. Im taking formula SF722 and some other anti fungal which also has probiotics and L GLutamine in it. which hopefully will repair my gut. I smelled like death on ALA(or to be more accurate people said i smelled like a curry or something!) Yeah mine is also. Very difficult situation when the underlying problem is the case of candida and the reason for it's continuation. But best of luck gaining any kind of control over it, because it should still help. I don't treat yeast without the diet though. It's like feeding the yeast whilst attempting to kill it with antifungals at the sametime - which is defeating the purpose IMO.
