I've been taking 200mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid for awhile now, along with Chlorella, as I learned on this forum that the ALA chelated metals in the body, and the Chlorella assisted it in moving them out of the system.

Here's an informative article on the benefits of ALA...https://www.healthyfellow.com/1446/al...ion/#more-1446

Good reminder, I am goingto take some right now

I'm currently taking these in combo:

Ascorbyl Palmitate (vit C)
MSM
L-Carnitine
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Ubiquinol
Resveratrol
Fish oil
Vitamin B12

Post meal.

People with high levels of mercury should use caution with higher levels of ALA.
Alpha Lipoic Acid has a short half life in the body, if mercury bound to ALA is not elimated in this period of time then the mercury can become unbound and end up being lodged in the brain or some other organ.
Andy Cutler, who specialises in chelating mercury from autistic children, only gives a 25mg dose of ALA every 4 hours(6 per day) to ensure a slow steady chelation to prevent the problem.

(See my comments on the Healthy Fellow link)

Thanks Liverock! I don't know if I have high levels of mercury, but I still have old mercury fillings in my teeth, that I don't intend to disturb unless necessary.

I've been taking 200mg of ALA, along with Chlorella daily, and occassionally vitamin C and Selenium. I guess I need to stop taking any ALA.

The best chelator I have found so far is Glutathione. Facts show and experience that our immune cells are designed to protect us, but what prtects the immune cell? Glutathione is the primary protector of the immune cell and allows newly formed immune cellls to proliferate to attack germs and viruses.
