Back on chelating rounds - fun with depression

Well, it had been almost a year since I stopped chelating mercury using ALA, as I had basically given myself side effects that took time to recover from.

After a bad experience with DMSA (I got very sick after I went off round for a while), I've decided to change things up.

I am taking a small amount of NAC every morning, and activated charcoal at night. I take selenium (400mcg) to try to protect the brain against mercury when I chelate (that's supposed to help, right?). I consume fish oil every day, and I take sunflower lecithin (supposed to help the brain as well, and help improve memory, another thing I'm not great with) with dinner.

Anyway, I decided to do a round with 20mg of ALA every 3 hours last weekend (Saturday-Monday), using an iPod alarm to ensure I wake up at night to keep taking it, which has been effective.

I've been experiencing Depression though. I mean, I'd had problems for a while with being totally bored and not finding anything interesting or having motivation to do anything. I almost cried yesterday, and I actually did break down in tears during my first DMSA off-round.

What do you recommend to reduce this damn depression? I want this damn mercury out of me. I already had my "silver" fillings removed by a sympathetic dentist, which helped a lot with various health problems, but this new general malaise and occasional breakdown are very upsetting. What do you think is causing it, how do I avoid or reduce it? Tweet
