Guest guest Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I believe you should start with DMSA for a few weeks after you get your fillings out (to clear out the mercury in the blood from the fillings). The ALA pulls from the brain so you can start that after several weeks. I'd start low with 25 mgs of ALA and 25 mgs of DMSA and see how you feel. I'm about your weight and I started at 25 and went up to 50mgs of each pretty quickly. Have you been taking your basic supplements for a while? The book suggests you are on them a few weeks before chelating (C, E, milk thistle -anti-oxidants-) , magnesium, probiotics, (GSE, biotin - for yeast) omega 3s, (melatonin/5-HTP/Valarian Root for sleep etc.) Also, Dana has recommended a few things for thyroid support (Iodine, selenium, tyrosine). I do the iodine but have not added selenium or tyrosine. Do you have Andy's recommended book? I would also familiarize myself with it and the basic vitamin recommendations and dosages. I take about 4 grams of timed release vitamin C a day and add one camu pill (which is a whole food source of vitamin C per round). I take about 4 of the camu on my off chelation days. I use everything listed above and some co-enzyme Q-10. I want plenty of antioxidants in my system - both water soluable and not (the E and co-enzyme Q-10 are not so they last longer). The C is water soluable so you pee out C every couple hours (which is why I take timed release). I also drink some organic green tea almost everyday. If you feel okay on the 25mgs of ALA and DMSA (after you've done a few rounds of DMSA alone), you can try to up the ALA to 50 mgs and see how you feel. Yeast has been my main problem as well as struggling with frequent dosing due to missing sleep when on round. I recommend you read enough to become familiar with the basic supplements and chelation protocol. I continue to read (years later) because my memory, fatigue and brain fog mean that I need reminders and motivation. I comment less than some due to memory issues - I'm always unclear if I have things straight! Good luck and get started. Keep reading and re-reading for motivation.
