Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 , You will get SO many answers and opinions on this. Quite frankly, I do not have the answer. Some say it is fine, others not. How do we know for sure? I also have a heart issue (enlarged left ventricle) and WILL NOT take DMPS or DMSA at least at this point. Our government should be ASHAMED for allowing these toxic metals to be put into our bodies daily. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 You got that right and to think the ADA still says mercury amalgams are safe.

" This quote about ALA is incorrect information (which appears to have been copied word for word from another incorrect source). A chelator is identified by the presence of two dithiol groups. ALA is a little different from DMSA and DMPS because it has to cross a cell membrane to pick up hydrogen and make the dithiols. Once it is inside the cell (now dihydrolipoic acid), it has the two dithiol groups that will grab onto metals and carry them out of the body. -- > Taken from this web page in the bottom of the last box about 2/3 down > the page, right before " Key " . > > http://www.diagnose-me.com/cond/C586629.html > > Again my daughter is wanting to chelate with ALA, and not use DMSA > until her heart problem get resolved. > V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
