Re: Standard strength and form of ALA and DMSA

Thanks...O.K., then the correct dosage would be between 15-30 mg every 3-4

hours round the clock and start with the larger dosage and adjust as needed,

You can get ALA in any form you want by looking around. DMSA is in

100 mg caps unless you have a compounding pharmacist do it otherwise

for you - and they mostly need an Rx for that.

Andy,

Could you expand on your statement below concerning HBOT? Is this a

theoretically determined statement, or based upon published data, or

Thanks,

A couple months back I remember somebody posted that HBOT should NOT be used in

mercury toxic individuals. Don't know anymore details, so I guess it's best to

check to archives. M
