Thanks for the reply. The symptoms seem to be better now that a few days have passed.

Actually I haven't taken Algin for a long time. With the ALA, lately I only took it in small amounts as it was included in other supplements. And even then it causes my lip to be dry and burn easily.

Do you think it could be yeast causing these?

About a year ago, an inexperienced naturopath had me take large doses of ALA before starting detox, and that put a bunch of mercury in my brain where I had sunburn face and very scary mercury symptoms (couldn't remember anything, very obsessed, very clumsy, etc)

Hope things will improve when my portable infrared sauna arrives.

Also another weird thing is after ionic foot detox or electro dermal scan my back gets tingling pain for about 24 hours. I wonder if it is the mercury or copper irritating the kidneys? I cannot find much info about this.
