Calling methylation defects and genetic mutations ”irrelevant”? Just a quick note: methylation is a requirement for the proper functioning of many pathways in our bodies, but ALA chelation does NOT depend on fully functioning methylation. Dr. Cutler is right on this one. You can chelate the toxins even without a fully functioning methylation. Once you get rid of the toxins that ”clog up” all sorts of metabolic pathways across your body, you may find yourself with no methylation problems whatsoever (courtesy of a modified gene expression, for example), but you won’t know until you ge ...

You may have a different problem that’s causing the parasites by suppressing your immune system: mercury poisoning (from dental amalgams or ”energy saving” light bulbs). I was cured of this condition by chelating using the Cutler protocol by Andy Hall Cutler, PhD PE. It’s the only protocol that is safe to use. If heavy metal toxicity is the problem, you can rid yourself of the parasites all you want, they will keep coming back:-( Let me know if you have questions (in PM if you wish) All the best.   [End]

From what I heard EDTA cannot be taken orally, as the absorption rate is only 5% and it is very damaging to the gut.

There is no such thing as ”one size fits all”. Dosing is dependent primarily on body weight, the toxicity of the body, the capacity of the kidneys (DMSA, DMPS) and the liver (ALA), age, the phase of chelation you are at, and other similar considerations. Are low doses of DMPS, DMSA and ALA just as effective as higher doses of the above chelators? No. The full answer is a bit more complicated (see below).

if ALA is in the body naturally ’every day’, then why take it as a supplement? The way I see it, Mother Nature has equipped the human body with detoxification mechanisms, which are sufficient for our natural habitat. The problem is, we no longer live in our species’ natural habitat. We were not created to chew on mercury, lead and arsenic, or inject our babies with mercury, aluminium and formaldehyde. So while our bodies make their own chelators (such as ALA), the amount is insufficient to detox a modern individual. This is why we need to take ALA as a supplement.   [End]
