Re: Re: Barb: Organic/Amino Acid Test Results

[Guest guest]

Barb,

I posted about my experience with ALA on 3/22:

>This can be dangerous if you have any kind of toxicity. On my then doctor's

advice, when I was only halfway through my pesticide detox, I used it at

100 mg/ day for a few days. At first I felt more energy but then it brought

on terrible depression, by what I now think was redistribution. This is in

agreement with Cutler's theory: basically, he recommends using it

only in small doses every 3-4 hours (including during the night) for a few

days to chelate and then taking a week off to rest (or something close to

that; I don't have the book). It took four months after stopping it for me

to feel all right. I won't touch the stuff again.<

Per H on this list posted this on the same day:

>Had similar scary experience with it. Took at least 1 month to get back

to normal. I dont say do not take it, but be careful.

I would also check out the cutler method if I were to try it.

I used to have little mercury on my hair analysis but it has gradually

gone down on subsequent tests. Dunno if ala were stirring up something

else. <

I would be very cautious about using ALA.
