Dear Boronia

I have read Andy Cutlers book on Mercury poisoning.
He suggests the use of ALA later on after at least 2-3 months of DMSA.

Chelating with ALA if you have high Hg levels in the blood can be dangerous in the possibility that it may loose the bond and land up in your brain!!

ALA is a great chelator don't get me wrong but do 2-3 months chelation with DMSA before beginning ALA as this will lower blood Hg levels.

Then finally combine ALA with DMSA to remove Mercury from the brain safely.

Dear Boronia

Hi again I hope my first response to your question has helped with the use of ALA?
Oops I forgot to answer your issue on whether or not it is safe to eat fish due to Mercury contamination.

Okay I personaly don't eat fish, what I do is use fish oil supplements which are filtered to remove any heavy metals so they are mecury free which is good because you can get all of fish health benefits without the risk of contamination. The brand I recommend is Carlsons fish oil.

If you do insist on eating fish I would only use Sardines and Alaskan canned salmon as these have proven lowest in mercury.

Good luck and I hope this helped.
