I found this. "Alpha lipoic acid should not be used alone, as it only mobilizes mercury with a weak bond. Without additional chelators present, such as DMPS or DMSA, the mercury may just redistribute elsewhere in the body instead of being removed." http://www.diagnose-me.com/treat/T76343.htmlWhile some might want to debate this, I will say that when I took ALA alone I had much greater unpleasant side effects. Taking ALA with DMSA made chelation much easier. I had increased my ALA dosage to the point where it was around 3x the DMSA dosage. Now that I have stopped chelating for many months and just restarted a few weeks ago, I am using 50 mg ALA and 62 mg DMSA. Last year I was taking around the same dosage of DMSA I am taking now, but was taking 200 mg per dose of ALA. This time I am leery of the 200 mg ALA dosage, and might not go up that high for a long while. This time I have been doing 4 day rounds while last year I did only 3 day rounds.
