So far so good on the iodine. The only problem I've run into was making the mistake of mixing Lugol's with OJ that contained modified food starch (my body did not like that reaction at all) but all is well.
So, every week or 2 I add a new supplement from my list of "want to try" and sometimes I forget why I have them on the list. ALA was the latest one I got...
I don't remember specifically WHY i wanted that in particular.. just for antioxidant properties.
So, I buy some with my MSM & Vit. B complex refills and take it... then get a mild migraine type headache. It is most definitely a detox head ache! So, I search ALA on here and see it's used to chelate mercury. Oh crap! Nooo... I'm not prepared to do that. I have no evidence of heavy metals in my body, but it would be dumb to assume i have none... everyone has to have them to some degree.
So anyway, I took 3 ala supplements on Tuesday, get the headache.. wednesday i woke up with a small, red raised bump pimple by my eye brow and one on my chin.. so i stop the ala and Thursday night i still have a headache! I did some salt loading with my pink salt, took 3000mg of vit C and drinking extra water.. I'm peeing a ton! Like, I'll pee... gather my stuff for a shower, pee again and then brush my teeth and then pee again! All in a 10 minute span. My headache is finally gone though... yay!
My question is... this is some undeniable detox. It really wasn't bad at all.. so I can continue the ALA because it needs to be done.. however, chelating heavy metals is something that needs to be done with extreme caution and i don't have what I need to do that at the moment. If I knew this would just be a regular toxin dump, then fine. But assuming it was HMs, I'd have more symptoms than just a headache and 2 pimples popping up (they've gone down already) right? I have no reason to suspect HMs other than fillings that were replaced in 2004. I never had a test to check.
I just know that it's nothing to screw around with and i haven't studied it enough yet to be confident enough to attempt it myself.
Should I continue the ALA and detox whatever it is trying to detox out of me? Or put the ALA away until I am better prepared to deal with HMs?
I did also read that headaches were common with ALA because of blood Sugar issues, but then they should go away after eating.. no?

This is a reply to # 2,209,519Heavy metals (Hg, Cd etc.) have the predilection to "occupy" the thiol groups - SH and those thiol groups constitue actif sites of a great number of enzymes, so they are at a great risk to be inactivated by heavy metals, also those heavy metals have the tendency to occupy the place of "useful cations" like magnesium, zinc, manganese etc., this makes the metallo enzymes inactif or less performant, so supplementing with these useful oligo-elements increases the possibility to displace heavy metals from these sites.
It is good to supplement in addition to Mg, Zn, Mn with Se and alpha lipoic acid (both have 2 thiols to bind firmly Hg, Cd), when taking MSM (only 1 thiol) and of course vit. C helps to evacuate them quickly...

This is a reply to # 2,209,531Thanks for the explanation... so as long as I'm supplementing and taking extra C, I'm ok then?
Whatever detox was brought on by ALA wasn't enough to make me dreadfully sick to where I couldn't function... it was more annoying when people were being loud... and now I know that salt loading will get rid of the headache.. so I'll give the ALA another go.
Thanks again!- Re: Slightly o/t but maybe relevant? UserX

This is a reply to # 2,209,609Alpha lipoique acid (ALA) and gluthation serve as a kind of "lure" attracting a portion of heavy metals, they will limit their toxicity on the "noble molecules" and re-establish certain metabolisms, even those in which they are also implicated.
ALA with 2 sulfur bridges is hydro and lipo soluble, regerenates glutathion and can catch Hg in brain and drag away.
ALA is created in the body from L-Cystein with the help of vit. B2, B3 and B5, Cystein is rather critical, like for gluthation, that s why some supplementation is useful not only for nice and thicker hair...
A smooth detoxification can be done in 2 phases, at the beginning with vit. C (2-3 gr.) you clean the extracellular space - blood, lymph, then you start to attack heavy metals, more difficult to reach as they are deeply installed inside your grease and nervous tissus - with ALA a molecule soluble in lipids.
ALA can do this profound work much better once these permanently circulating heavy metals in blood are already eliminated with the help of vit. C.
This complexity of action at different levels needs association of several other nutriments Mg, Se, OPC, CoQ10.
I found this very efficient in the long term and it is free of heavy secondary effects of detox, which is not the case of DMPS, EDTA, TMD, penicillamine etc.

This is a reply to # 2,209,638Muscardin,
WOW! GREAT explanation man. Thanks!!!
By the way, are you saying that once mercury is attached to ALA, it's safe ?
Why is it then that Andy Cutler tells you to take ALA every 3 hours so you are sure it's finally expelled ?
I'm not sure ALA binds forever with Hg so it can't be recirculated.
Do you know more about this ?
Thanks!- Re: Slightly o/t but maybe relevant? UserX

This is a reply to # 2,209,741Marcus, nothing is safe as far as Hg is concerned, ALA helps definitely more than MSM, thanks to these 2 thiols groups, that s why Newport said that MSM is linked to Hg with a weak bond that can be lost.
I take ALA - 400 mg at 1 dose every other day, counting far more on vit. B2, B3, B5 and L-Cystein or NAC to increase the inner production, and mainly hoping that ALA will help with anti-glycation and anti-aging stuff...- Re: Slightly o/t but maybe relevant? trapper/kcmo

This is a reply to # 2,209,801This is more the reason why i wanted to take it... just for its antioxidant properties... NOT to chelate!!
But i think i over did it because i took it 3 times that day and stirred up some kind of detox that lasted for 3 whole days. The headache and weird out of it feeling where your vision and depth perception gets thrown off.
HMs isn't something I want to screw with on my own.. I'd rather go to one of those NDs who do IV vitmin C and all that.
If what I provoked was some other kind of detox then fine... it needs to be done. But I guess there's no way to tell WHAT someone is detoxing from. That's what scares me.
