Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I was reading the section in CWSB about heavy metal chelation. I understand that ALA can bind mercury in the body's periphery and enter the brain through the blood brain barrier. However, with continued use of ALA, wouldn't the bound metals be returned to the periphery and be excreted out? I don't mean to sound simple minded, but I don't understand the " mechanics " of this. Even though ALA crosses the BBB, wouldn't it still be chelating metals in the body's periphery as well as crossing the BBB and chelating there? Everything wouldn't be pushed to the BBB would it?? Help, please?? Thanks, Tammy B --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo! Small Business. Quote
