Re: ala round - easier breathing

January 9, 2008

Yes, I experience the same thing. My nose is less stuffed up when I am

chelating with ALA. Sense of smell improved, too. I figure it there will be a

long-term improvement after many more rounds of ALA. (I'm now on my 7th round of

ALA).

Ok, just completed an ala round and for the second time on a round I

noticed I could breathe so much easier. It was NICE! It's one of

those things you can't pinpoint as a problem until its better. Once

the round was done it went away unfortunately.

Anybody understand this?

Thanks,

How has you ALA rounds gone. I haven't started. I was told they were

side effecty/. Are you a person who can't do sulfur foods? What dose

are you on.

Thanks

Hi,

In AI, Andy says that ALA does not suppress side effects and that's why he

recommends taking DMSA along with it. I have not tried to do ALA alone.

I am on 12.5 mg ALA/25 mg DMSA every 3 hours. My rounds are usually 5-6 days,

with the same number of days off. ALA rounds have been pretty good. I do

experience some minor side effects, such as headaches and lower back pain, some

fatigue, and mood swings. I have had many positive effects since starting ALA.

These include improved adrenal function (read sex hormones and libido) and

memory. I also find myself having very vivid and complex dreams that often

involve people I haven't thought of in many years. ALA is definitely doing

_something_ in my brain. :-)

As for sulfur foods, I don't have a clear answer on this one. It depends on the

food. I can't tolerate eggs at all, but I can handle small amounts of

beans/legumes. In an effort to combat yeast, I have recently started the SCD,

so I am limiting beans and legumes anyway. I don't have a problem with mustard,

which is very high sulfur.

Hope this helps.

In short, Andy's protocol works, and ALA works!
