You're right TK I forgot about the fact that ALA and DMSA would split

the amount of mercury coming out between urine and feces. I'm gald I

posted.

Do you think an ALA alone (100mg every 3 hours) round and a feces

test would get a better chance of mercury showing up since ALA will

get mercury from everywhere including the brain while a DMSA and a

urine test would not show significant amount if my mercury is mainly

in the brain?

That said I want to do this test for 2 reasons: First to get my

doctor to help me control symptoms, second to get my family and

friends on my side when asked " What do you have? " , I could now say I

am mercury poisonned, here is the test result (A hair test result

alone is not convincing them for now).

As far a insurance goes, my family is my insurance and they would pay

for EVERYTHING if only I could convince them that I am mercury

poisonned.

Thanks
