Sunshine, I am glad you are doing so well. Are you sure that your main problems were due to mercury, and not parasites, mineral deficiencies, or some digestive disorders? How many mercury filings did you have? It seems unusual that a total of 87 days of chelation using 5 mg DMSA then later 5 mg ALA plus and 4 mg ALA could make such a difference. Many here are chelating with 50 mg or more of each, and have chelated for many more than around 90 days without such great progress. I guess everyone is different, however based on what others have reported it seems amazing that you got so much benefit from such low doses of chelation. Perhaps the other measures you took were more instrumental in your healing, and your chelation wasn't so instrumental?
