to chelate or not, was Re: If you could start over again...

Third thought...chuckling...yep, still awake, more on that later

on...mercury itself is not the biggest bully of the metals - as a side

note, I reserve that title for fluoride.

However, mercury is the one metal, that once it is escorted into your

brain, your own body helps it metabolize/change into the form of

mercury that simply does not leave. It rather firmly parks its butt,

will not leave & just has a continual party from that moment on...ALA

is one of the (few) things that grabs it & says, okay buddy, time to

leave already and escorts it out of there....but after ALA's half-life

period is done - the mercury just flat wears him out, fighting to stay

put all the way, imo Well, the ALA loses hold of the mercury, and

drops it - which is where continual dosing comes in, because whoops,

there is another batch of ALA right there ready to scoop that mercury

right back up & keep him moving right on out...So, my analogy

continued, mercury rates as the most passive-aggressive of all the

metals, causing inordinate harm, including inviting all the other

metals to hang around and party with him " hey, don't leave, just

getting started here! " Synergy ensues & the havoc starts, yk? Not

cool, this mercury crapola - Have said it before, when it comes to

chelating, Andy just totally rocks...ha! just said it again

wishing all the very best answers, elizabeth

ps...My migraine girl is wiping me out - this looks like our first

" successful " round - have started chelating (twice) before & had to

drop the round by second day...but, manohman, is she busy - good stuff

in the midst of it, but keeping me hopping...and giggling too - coming

up with some really good 5yo one-liners, to boot

....btw, my older girl is chelating too - she is on her 4th or 5th

round, tho - tolerates it very well, and is very apparent that it

helps, short-term and long-term...and, did you notice, not even up to,

say, 10 rounds, aannndd I have lost count...go figure...urg.
