I know Cutler says this isnt so but i have a feeling and will soon know (blood tests inside the actual cell ) if chelators deplete minerals (have feeling mg especially). I have literally chelated myself into the depths of insanity. So has anyone done before/after hair tests or any test and noticed a significant decline in any particular minerals? I just spoke with one extremely renown doctor about this and he mentioned "ALA is an aggressive mineral chelator" so..
