--Re: STARTING ALA-comments and questions

[Guest guest]

Thank you Jackie and Dave

actually i cut out sulfur about 5 months ago, it was the first thing

i figured out from reading AI that was bothering me...a steay diet of

eggs and all the bad vegetables ... I also have eliminated dairy as

food allergy test showed dairy as being quite bad

I actually was doing Ok taking quite large doses of vitamin

c/magnesium with the first two rouunds of ALA/DMPS but

suggested i cut back as my stool was very watery due to the vitamin

c, the magnesium ...However I think in my case I have to be on these

heavy doses of things that keep my bowels moving, even if it causes

diarrhea as the alternative is this mercury just builds up and

redistributes

Yes 25 mgs of ALA was probably way too much too soon and I was taking

15 mgs of dpms every 3 hrs with the ala. I had previously (6 weeks

ago) started on 15 mgs every 6-8 hrs and ultimately had a very bad

reaction to dmps on my first round...i had thought it was primarily

due to constipation. Thus when i started taking some more anti-

constipatory supps, I wrongly assumed i would be good to go

its been a very rough week, What I am taking now to try to mop up

some mercury is 6 mgs dmsa every 4 hrs...(I took a 3 day break before

starting this round)

Thank you
