Well since you are following mostly Cutler's protocal I would still do the on off with the ALA ie so many days on and then some off. I think he recommends this so your body can have a break and he said the body accumulates copper when taking ALA.

Wallace I'm like 7 month post removal for me and it's hard for me to tell if I notice any improvements or not ...
I started using a sauna at the local YMCA and I think that it may be helping some. I've read alot of good info about sauna usage; you may want to add this to your regimen.
I'm 34 and never had used a sauna in my life (thought it was for rich bored people lol).
