Re: [Autism-Mercury] New reasons for supplementing with alpha lipoic acid - OT

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I have posted on the ABE forum before about my father, who has a haemangioblastoma (tumour comprised of blood vessels) located near the brain stem, and recently experienced a stroke that has affected his speech and left him with an inability to swallow. He has in the last few months deteriorated further (severe facial palsy, unable to now move unaided) and is in a really bad way.

Thank you , for posting this article, I did not know that ALA can be used to repair nerve damage, which is very interesting. I would really like for my father to try this, but my questions are as follows:

I have no idea how mercury toxic my father is, or whether he is or his not (he really needs help now so we don't have time to wait for a hair test), plus he does have several amalgam fillings, but given the situation if there is a chance that ALA could repair nerve damage and really improve his current state should we just have a go? Could it perhaps be argued that if my father does not happen to be mercury toxic (ie. has levels below a toxicity threshold) that he may have some leeway for the release of mercury from his fillings by the ALA? Or, that if he did end up crossing the toxicity threshold that the symptoms of mercury toxicity are a lesser evil than what he is going through right now? Or are the dangers of trying this just too great? (bear in mind we would not be following a chelation protocol here, we would be looking to use therapeutic doses. I suppose that we could do chelation at a later date if it proved to be susbsequently necessary)

Andy, I just read this article after sending my last email to you, do you have any thoughts?

Any thoughts from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Georgina x

Georgina,

I think that with amalgams in using ALA would only make your father's situation

worse. There is good reason to believe that glycerophosphocholine can help

after a stroke.

I'm sorry things are so bad for him.
