Excellent advice, Bex, thank you. This is the first thing I've done in a whole year that seems to work, so in a way I'm relieved. I'm on day 2 of my round and the headache and stomach ache are back mildly, along with general bodyache and a bit of pain in my chest again. I think you'd expect this as a round progresses. It also seems to be a good sign that I feel this way on such a low chelator dose -- I must really be ready to get rid of this stuff.
I think I need to start a new thread for further comments . . . I am NOT chelating with ALA alone, LOL.
You're welcome Linda. I really hope this is going to prove to be of help to you, preferably the cure (we all hope that).
Yeah as the round progresses, if you are toxic, the symptoms usually increase. But some people simply feel better on chelation or some rounds are different than others. When I was toxic enough for DMSA to work, I used to start feeling wretched by a few days into it and it would get worse and worse as it went on. I would often have to stop the round early.
It's interesting that you are having such effects now on a low dose of chelator and I think this means it's well and truly working.
I think you should start a new thread "Chelating with ALA AND DMSA"
It will be interesting to see how it pans out. What symptoms you get along the way and whether some rounds will be different from others in how you feel and what you experience.
Keep us posted. And best wishes on this! I am really interested to see how things go, it encourages me to get started on it....funny because last time I tried, my body failed to gain any symptoms (apart from yeast, though I hear that is a sign in itself). Maybe my body will this time?
