I would not attempt taking DMSA randomly due to the points
you mention but appreciate you pointing them out.
I did take it for 9months Cutler style or so and
stopped due to candida and cost.
I never had any amalgams or fillings not one. I started to
become ill in a holiday to New York at 21 was first time
visiting the States, Im from Scotland. I ate about 20 raw
oysters maybe they were contaminated with mercury but
Im not sure. I went on a Tuna diet 6 tins a day for
2months at 24ish I think this maybe the culprit.
Thats what Iam thinking its taking a while but just couple day ago I read
on the frequent chelation group a guy named Kai chelated for
2yrs with no progress like myself. He then dropped his dose down to
1mg ALA and started improving.I may give this ago but the differences
between him and I are.
Kai : ALA at 6-12mg
Stevie : 50-150mg ALA of the bat
A few folk on the FCG recommened to chelate with ALA for few more months,
nothing to loose and progress should come.Not much else can do so yeah
will be little bit more patient and see.
Cheers,
Stevie

What a relief to read that you DO NOT have any amalgams/ nor ever had any teeth fillings! What a blessing, indeed! So it boils down possibly to the oysters/tuna? Did you read Russ' article just before this one regarding Tuna? I do not eat Tuna often, now, but I did several years ago. Never remember feeling bad at all. Anyway, everything in this old world is changing! A friend of mine is a vegetarian and also seems to feel quite well. It seems to me like only half of the meal is being served. LOL!
Now, NO TUNA, NO PORK, NO CHICKEN? (hold it? I love KFC!) And Tyson's Frozen Chicken is not processed, in the Freezer section at the store.
Well, I honestly think your problem stems from the Serotonin/ L-Tryptophan group. Since it seems to boil down to
'MOOD SYMPTOMS'. Just last week a friend told me her Chiroprator recommeded she stop taking an RX, for depression. (Sorry, forgot the name.) He said since he started on the 5-HTP (5-Tryptophan), he's never felt better in his life. He takes it every day. She's thinking of giving it a try.
You also mentioned taking the melatonin 3mg(?), nightly? Did you know it also comes in 1 mg. Perhaps you're taking too much. And your body is reacting to the 'hang-over' from that. I also take that in 3mg. Does me well. Nice e-chatting with you once again. So glad to learn you DO NOT have the amalgams to deal with. WHEW!
Did you get a chance to listen to the video of the lady discussing mercuy symptoms/harmful effects. When she got to the part about
MOOD, about half way through I thought of you.
OK, Stevie, You really should count your blessings that you don't have so many of the amalgam problems. Take care.
BTW: I cannot take the Alpha Lipoic Acid/ 1 caps = (250mg). Good Grief! Talk about ZOMBIE! Please be sure to read Russ' post prior to this one regarding the TUNA.
You ate "Six tins of Tuna a day for 2 months????" WHOA!!!!
