Re: Noticed an interesting improvement

I pretty sure its working, because the symptoms keep decreasing and basically the main places in my body I still get problems is around the jaw, neck, and pituatary gland, everywhere near the mouth. While muscle weakness, pain, and other problems in most other areas of the body is much more reduced.

My other organs are starting to work better, my brain fog is going, I have much less rashes and hives, I'm emotionally much more stable, and I don't react nearly as much to foods, especially sulfur foods like onions.

I've not done a hair test in a while, but I'm not concerned since I'm making progress and I feel much better.

I'm not worried about the ALA not being a "TRUE" chelator. Its working for me. ALA makes your body generate more gluthione anyway, which is the bodies natural chelation agent.

So whether the DHLA or the additional gluthione is doing the chelation, I don't know. But the results are there. I've not done DMSA or DMPS so I can't comment on those, but I have done NAC and Cilantro and ALA/DHLA works much better than either of those in my opinion. At least it did for me.

I've not tried DMSA or DMPS because I'm a "Naturopath" at heart and I hate to do anything thing artificial, especially since before I figured out the whole mercury connection, I went to a bunch of allopathic doctors who put me on everything from anti-histamines to anti-depressants and basically screwed me up much worse.

This is one point I differ on with Andy as he recommends several prescriptions in his book. I don't believe you should take any prescriptions at all ( with the exception of DMPS or DMSA for chelation ) if you have Amalgam illness, unless you absolutely have to for a medical condition. Your liver and kidneys are aready compromised and prescription medications can really put a strain on the detox pathways.

Just my humble opinion... :)
