I can't say Alex, unlikely to be the ALA itself, but the action of it from redistribution of mercury is possibility. Or at least it could be making things unnecessarily worse.

I only know that it is highly risky to use a brain chelating agent too early on and/or on a wrong protocol.

His symptoms may settle a little after stopping it, but they may not and he may need DMSA to start making things more stable.

I am of course guessing and it would be great if Andy Cutler would get on here as he has occassionally.
