Not Andy here but he says that ALA is the only chelator that removes mercury

from the brain and can be used alone or conjuction with one of the others.

Check the FAQs of this list or his books.

Hi ,

I am using ALA only but I didn't feel qualified to argue the point with someone

that thought he knew more than someone that is on round 4. :-) I don't feel it

is my place to " know " all the answers so I was trying to defer to the expert.

I was hoping Andy would write something that I can post to the other forum.

It is so confusing when people keep mis-quoting. But they ARE positive that is

the way it is. I did quote a paragraph from AI about Lipoic Acid. No comments

back yet.

Somewhere in the onibasu archives is a post by Andy responding to

's query as to whether she could move to using just ALA to

finish chelating her granddaughter. I believe Andy said in that

post that ALA is the best mercury chelator. If you can't find that

post specifically, there are others where Andy talks about ALA as a

mercury chelator.
