Finished my 3rd cycle : What I've Found

So I did this entire cycle without feeling sickly at all despite raising the amount of ALA from 50 mg to 100 mg and then raised it again to 150 mg the last four days all while continuing to take 25 mg of DMSA with it.

I spoke in an earlier update that I thought my tinnitus had possibly improved but needed more time to know for sure. At this point I do not believe the tinnitus has improved whatsoever (I didn't expect it to but thought somehow it had). On the other hand I've discovered that taking ALA makes me feel outstanding. Much more energetic and alert and more focused. I looked up the benefits of ALA and this happens to be one of them (I wasn't aware that it gave you energy when I started taking it). I will definitely continue to take ALA even after the chelation is complete as it's relatively inexpensive and I love what it does for me. It must be the ALA because the energy went up during cycle 2, down in the off week and went back up during cycle 3. It could be something else but based on all information it's most likely the ALA.

At this point I have no reason to believe that I should continue with my chelation since I have no symptoms but I definitely don't regret doing this as it's given me peace of mind. I may decide to go through one more round of chelation with 25mg DMSA 150 mg ALA every three hours but that's to be determined.

Since it's possible that I did have a tiny bit of mercury (I did feel sick for 1.5 days [although I can't be for certain that had anything to do with mercury]) and have read that some critters can get around that mercury and cause issues I'll be doing a detox based on the advice you guys are giving me (thanks again).

Overall I'm very glad that I've gone through what I have so far for the peace of mind and the discovery of ALA and how good it's made me feel.
