Re: TK & anyone/Daughter wanting to Chelate

May 27, 2006

I am SO confused about ALA. It has now been 10 weeks since my dental

revision and I did a little chlorella. I spoke with Andy Cutler one day and he

said my situation sounded like mercury toxicity even though I did not meet the

counting rules. I am sure he said it was okay for me to do ALA every three

hours for three or four days, then lay off, then start again, etc. Does this

not sound right. I am not taking any other products.

Sorry I didn't mention this before, but my daughter did do as her doc

suggested and bought a chelation kit from the health food store. I

don't know the name of it, but she did say it had some ALA in it, and

I thought she said this product was to be taken a couple times a day.

This has me concerned....taking any ALA like this even with other

ingredients. V

This is the protocol my daughter was thinking about. She was thinking

of every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night for 3 days

on and 4 days off. In Andy's book he says for ALA only, " You may want

to do this for a week or so and then skip a week or so " . Maybe

someone else will chime in on this. V

Thanks so much for your response. Yes she (and I also) have had

all our amalgams removed by a dentist in Winter Park, FL that uses

all the precautions. In fact he has written a book called " Mercury

Free " , which is a great book by the way. I will convince her not to

take that chelation Kit. I do not know if she has taken any or not

today, but I do know she started ALA today, every 3 hours, and is

setting the alarm to take tonight. She will join this group next week

I hope, or maybe the next week as she is swamped right now running

back and forth across state. I'm sure she would post her hair test.

The only problem is that the doc she went to does not use Doctor's

Data. She is going to my doctor now and plans on having another hair

analysis run, as he does use DD. Where do I find a list of the health

practioners recommended by Andy? I will look in the files section.
