Just wanted to let you know that chelation with lipoic acid has helped me.

I am still sick but after many months of Cutler ALA chelation i feel better.

I am stronger, mood swings are less intense, i am less depressed, anxious, i no longer react to everthing.

Before chelation had terrible reactions to supplements, food and chemtrails.

I noticed many people here have problems with chemtrails, processed food and other stuff.

I found that after detox this is no longer a problem for me.

Hope people find this helpful.

THX James I hope you continue to get alot better!

Before I started my current round of ALA, I started biking hard because of the recent nice weather. Sunlight chelates mercury in case you don't know, as does exercise and sweating. I biked for 3 days, and the day after I started getting into a depression.

Now I'm on ALA and my depression is still there. Detox baths help. But I feel pessimistic and lonely.

Exercise also causes a redistribution of metals, which is why it needs to be done in moderation. This maybe why you have experienced a worsening of symptoms. You should be careful with exercise. Although it is beneficial, when it comes to metals, one must be careful.

However, leaving the metals alone isn't the answer either, so a certain amount of redistribution is unavoidable when moving it, even when using the Cutler protocol. The key to Cutler's protocol is to reduce redistribution as much as possible, whilst getting the metals OUT.

I'm very sorry that you are experiencing these symptoms, but I do know them well and can relate to your feelings.

Can you tell me when you started the ALA and what dose you are on and what regime? I am assuming you are taking it every 3 hours around the clock?

Also it takes a long time to improve or recover from mercury poisoning. Even the best protocol will not be a quick fix from this condition. You will help your progress by dietry/supplementary support also. I would keep the exercise up, but I'd do it more moderately. I always found walking on a treadmill was the best for me. It wasn't too strenuous, but enough to get things moving. And usually I have a day of rest inbetween. It helps my body recover and gather energies for healing. If I exercise everyday, I tend to get worse again.

Cutler protocol, 50mg every 3 hours. I did 25mg too, but I recently tried 50 and it's my max. I get really weird dreams while taking ALA at night. It's always the same meaningless, dismal atmosphere.

Oh and btw, I have problems sweating too probably because of my low body heat. Any ideas on that one? I know it's mercury related, maybe thyroid? So I can't sweat easily at all. And I am comfortable in 90 degree weather while others are baking.

Back when I was 16, I went on this drug called accutane for acne which I now know was caused by mercury. During the second day of taking that pill, my body became so dry that I started itching beyond belief on my scalp, to the point where I had to take a cold shower. After that point, to this day at the age of 26, I have horribly dry skin, and like I said, sweating problems. But the weird thing is that it cleared up my acne completely at the time. Placebo affect? Maybe. But I wonder how all this adds up...
