Especially since I doubt it can be removed from the brain without getting rid of the Hg in the teeth. Otherwise lipoic acid will pull Hg from the Amalgam and make it more likely to be absorbed into the blood stream. I've heard lots of very unpleasant reports from people who took ALA while Amalgam was still present or shortly after removal. I saw it happen to a friend. Thankfully she is slowly recovering. I have links to reports if requested.
