ALA from flax oil is not the ALA that chelates mercury. They are just both abbreviated the same. ALA from flax is alpha linolenic acid and ALA that chelates mercure is Alpha Lipoic Acid.

Why are you resistant to chelate with DMSA and ALA? I ask because I tried the sauna route after getting my fillings removed and used it often but didn't get the results I was looking for, and finally after 2.5 years after getting my fillings removed I started chelating w/ ALA & DMSA because I realized I wasn't going to recover fully otherwise.

Your organs may dump some of the mercury...but ALA is necessary for getting mercury out of the brain, and its very helpful for getting mercury out of the organs and endocrine glands. I would reccomend that you try chelating with ALA soon, it really is the best way to recover from mercury toxicity.
