Question about starting ALA.

July 14, 2003

Hello,

This question is mainly for Andy, or anyone else who thinks they

might know the answer.

I recently had all my amalgams replaced with composite fillings

(about 15 total). I started chelating using Andy's every 4 hour

protocol with 50mg DMSA, (I weigh 210 lbs) 4 days after the last one

was out, which was June 12th. I did the first round 5 days on 4 off

and the second round 7 days on with 4 or 5 off. For the 3rd round I

upped the dosage to 100mg and did that for 3 1/2 on 3 1/2 off. I'm

into my 4th " round " and doing good so far with only minor side

effects and my question is when can I introduce ALA?

I know Andy recommends 3 months but is there any way to speed that

up, if for example your ON periods each round are longer than his

recommended 3 days on with 4 or 11 off? I ask this because a 3 on 4

off schedule would be about 12 days of " active " chelation a month

and a 3 on 11 off would only be about 6 a month. The way I've been

doing it, my active days for the first month will be about 19. So

again, would it be safe for me to introduce ALA sooner than 3 months

after I started chelating?
