Thanks Marc ... yes, it all figures. The big question for me is why people
like you and Sue get ES, and I don't (nor lots of other people), despite
sitting in front of a computer screen all day for 20+ years and never taking
supplements. It seems to be a combination of several causes that gives too
much "total load" on the body. I'd suggest that the prolonged antibiotic
treatment would have been a huge factor; can't remember whether you've ever
had a leaky gut test? Significant that your ES began soon after that....

Yes, lots of people seem to have had success with ALA for treating many of
the chronic diseases like MCS and ES, if the root cause for them was
something other than heavy metals.

Well, I've had pollen/dust/cat allergies since I was a kid, I've had
a computer related job (as in sitting all day in front of a computer)
since the mid 1980's, I've had a mouthful of mercury amalgam fillings for
many years (with no particular precautions during most of their
removals), and then in the late 1990's I had all sorts of vaccines for
overseas travel followed by many bouts of viral infections which the
doctors repeatedly tried to treat with months and months of antibiotics.
So pick your poison... :-)

Oh yes, I've been reading some of the discussions on the "adult-metal-
chelation", where ALA and DMSA seem to be the preferred metal chelators.
They are extremely cautious there about dosage and timing of doses. And
I do know of someone who used to be on this group who reportedly cured
his ES mostly using ALA.

I personally think my problem is mostly metals, given that I can
hardly stand to take anything that mobilizes/chelates metals.
