using ALA after mercury redistribution...

[Guest guest]

Hi, I know we are told that using ALA too early on after a recent

mercury exposure can be dangerous because of risk of further movement

of mercury into the brain/nervous system. I think I should add that I

believe it is even more risky to use ALA after a mercury redistribution

that might have occured from using something else beforehand.

Not sure if anybody has thought about that, or if it seems obvious

already, but surely if ALA should not be used after recent mercury

exposure, then using it after mercury redistribution is simply another

big risk for more uptake of that mercury into the brain.

I have used ALA in the past and it was potent stuff, but I got through

it ok once the effects died down. But, I have used it following

redistribution of mercury and had terrible things occur from it. So I

had to realise redistributed mercury, counts as another recent

exposure. I'm sure other people would probably realise that, but I

didn't. I used it because I wasn't doing well on DMSA and I know some

people have to either go to DMPS, or simply use ALA on its own and I

really didn't know about the redistribution effect that would cause ALA

to become a big risk to me, not a help.

I wonder if anybody has had this happen?
