3rd Cycle Starting today: 100mg ALA 25mg DMSA

So I realize I've been calling things cycles and rounds and interchanging them, so from here on out I'm going to refer to each individual dosing as a round (1 round every 3 hours) and the entire week that I'm on it will be a cycle.

Anyway, since Cutler says that DMSA isn't necessary for chelation (ALA is) I've decided to decrease the dose of it to 25 mg to be more cost effective and easier on my kidneys since I've read that DMSA can work them. ALA on the other hand is good for your kidneys and since I went six days straight with no ill side effects I moved my ALA dosing up to 100 mg every three hours.

One thing I noticed is last week while taking the ALA I felt great. My brain seemed to have more focus and concentration and was running on all cylinders. This could have been for several reasons but it dwindled off when the cycle ended and I stopped taking the ALA. If it comes back this week while I'm on it I'll be inclined to believe that whether I'm chelating or not, ALA would be good to add to my daily supplements as it makes me feel good although I would only be taking one a day instead of every 3 hours.
