"What bothers me is that neither of these substances, DMSA or ALA, is well understood, and there have been very few studies done with them. In fact, no one understands how any substance fully reacts with all systems in the body, our knowledge is not that advanced. I guess I have to hope that the reactions I'm getting are positive and they're taking me in the right direction."


Thedy are both very well understood. ALA is a natural substance and is produced in small quantities in the body.

DMSA has been around for over 50 years.


ALA and DMSA seem to both lower blood sugar levels. Imo it is important to eat many small meals while chelating. One should also try to avoid taking DMSA and ALA with food. I usually eat a quick small meal half an hour after a dose, so that I will have at least two hours to digest the food before the next dosage.
