Hi Linda,

I have found some DMSA - but I think it's old. So I'm not sure what to do....I could try it I guess, if anything it'll be either ineffective/no longer potent or it might do something or nothing. So I can't think it'll hurt. I'll leave it today because I have my nephew to look after, but I may try tommorrow instead. Thanks for the suggestion.

lol, well the reaction you got from another try of ALA was definitely an indication - but again sometimes there are so many things going on with your health at once, you don't know what to concentrate on or when. However, if you get any response from ALA (or DMSA), I think personally that should probably be a priority.

My only reaction from ALA is yeast. That is all I have to go by, because there are no metal detox symptoms at all. Which is kind of odd, because existing mercury has ALWAYS given symptoms with chelation for me of metals coming out. Now it doesn't. Only worse yeast, which apparently IS an indication.

Yeah what you said about the probiotics could well have been the case. Maybe dislodging toxin containing bacteria which has just flared everything up in the gut. Not a good thing with my gut. Plus in doing so, you can cause the yeast to flare up even worse, as it does apparently around damaged areas/toxins.

To kill it off continually doesn't seem to help such a situation, but it grows back where the damage is. All I get is a flood of toxins, a backfire and worse trouble for my efforts. Again, this never used to be the case before the gut condition occured. I used to get die off like anybody else and feel worse at first, then better.\

Anyway, thanks I'll give the old DMSA a try, but I can't guarantee it's potency! I smelt it though and that was pretty potent. Yikes.
