I started with Iodine and felt all its benefits even before to start with Lipoic acid. My main health problem is mercury due to vaccine shot. I can call this a classic case where medico mafia try deliberately to destroy someone's life. ALA really helps me. The first 1-2 months are real challenge - the months when you will find if you are poison with mercury and where begin the first movement of Hg loads. Those who had a little more like me know what i'm talking about.
