Hi Abigail:
I'm certainly not looking for medical advice from anyone. Been there, done that with over 11 specialists. That's why I'm here. I'm looking for people who have experienced mercury toxicity and can share what they have gone through so that I can benefit from their wisdom and perhaps shine some light by what I'm going through. I will take ALA because it's part of the Cutler Protocol, which is what I'm doing. The point I was making is that taking ALA without reducing the mercury load with dmsa first can pull mercury and redistribute it. I didn't know that I was mercury toxic until recently. I could never figure out why I reacted to so many supplements. It was obviously because many natural supplements pull out and recirculate mercury without actually removing it from the body. I've been on dmsa for 2 months and will start ALA in one month more. I just can't find any place in the states that offers low doses. I'm sure that I should start as low as I started the dmsa 6 mg.
