a: Re: Alpha Lipoic Acid and turning yellow

[Guest guest]

a,

First don't apologize for asking questions. It is the only way to learn.

Yellow skin can be quite serious. Please take a look at this website

if you've not researched it quite thoroughly already.

http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/yellow_skin.htm

It is very important for us to have the answers to the following:

Do you have any dental amalgams (silver fillings)?

Have you had any recent mercury exposure (flu vax, removal of amalgams)

or do you feel you've been exposed to mercury in the past?

Do you think you may have been exposed to other toxic metals such as

lead (the answer is likely yes, as we all have).

How much ALA were you taking per dose?

How often were you dosing yourself?

PLEASE, do NOT take any more lipoic acid until you've answered these

questions and had a reply to your answer. Lipoic acid is a chelator

and if not dosed properly under the right conditions, the consequences

can be harmful.

You can find the help you need--much of it right here. Don't give up.
