Thanks for the suggestion about keeping DMSA going longer than ALA- that makes sense to me.
ALA seems to mess me up- I remember taking it years ago not for chelation but just because it was supposed to be a good antioxidant. I didn't stay on it for very long as it didn't make me feel good and now I know why.
I DO have high copper so that may be part of it.
Stuff I'm taking:
-ALA/DMSA every 3 hours 100 mg each
Other stuff:
-zinc 100 mg/dau
-molybdenum 150 mcg/day
-vit B6 250 mg/day
-chromium 200 mcg/day
-vit C 4000-6000 mg/day
-NAC 1200 mg/day
I did the ARL hair mineral test and have ordered the rec'd supplements- will switch over to those when they arrive.
