Alpha lipoic acid problems

[Guest guest]

Attention folks,

There has been much discussion lately on another list I subscribe to about possible problems with alpha lipoic acid. It seems that it can have the effect of redistributing mercury throughout the body, particularly to the brain. If you have mercury poisoning or amalgams, you may want to avoid it.

I have studied this somewhat and find that if someone has good KIDNEY

and LIVER function then alpha-lipoic acid(thioctic acid)should not be

a problem. It might be advised to spend 3-6 weeks doing a kidney

clease and a series of liver cleanses first. As well as not going to

aggressively initially. Chelation substances cross over into tissues

and the brain to combine with metals so the liver can detoxify them

and the kidneys can excrete them. They do not cross over into teeth

as there is no circulation there. Nor will they pull metal out of

teeth. It might be advised to remove amalgam to stop further

toxcicity problems though anyways.
