A chelation skin patch would be too convenient, and in case you haven't noticed everything convenient in today's world seems to lead to ill health. They do have slow release ALA but the release of ALA is not steady enough to depend on.

You gotta remember that a healthy body can fall asleep easily, its most likely the mercury that is effecting your sleep, and that after some chelating, even if its not easy, you should have an easier time falling asleep. I've had sleep problems all my life, but am happy to say the last two years of my life I have been sleeping better than ever, even if I wake up, because I can fall asleep easier and I can even take naps in the middle of the day, something I could never do my entire life before this/

You can space the dosing out to 4 hours in the night, Andy says that its ok to do that, but some extra sensitive people still need 3 hours at night. I time it that I take a dose right before bed, take one in the middle of the night after 4 hours, and my next dose is the time I would normally wake up so I only need to be disturbed once during the night.

It was actually the idea of having to wake up in the middle of night that kept me from chelating via the cutler protocol for so long, I didn't start until 2.5 years after amalgam removal, but I'm so glad I finally did, as its really working in ways nothing else did.
