Hi John, I am considering the protocol (it is expensive though) I have read through most of this forum and found one spot that talks about ala And rala.. plus the s form of it. I have concerns about the dental amalgums with it pulling the mercury out. Do you think that this will cause harm.. if maybe we cut back to the 600mg / day ? And if I am purchasing my own, is the suppliments that have 300 mg of s and 300mg of r ok ? Or do we need pure r Ala? Since a lot of talk about rebuilding nerves is from the rala.

Hi Ron @ronlud, Welcome to Connect. From my research only the natural form of alpha lipoic acid helps with neuropathy which is why I think the R-ALA costs a little more. Most of the cheaper product brands contain 50% synthetic ALA (S-ALA) and 50% R-ALA). You can find a lot of research papers on the topic of myelin using Google Scholar - https://scholar.google.com/. Probably one of the better sites for details of ALA is Lipoic Acid - Linus Pauling Institute: https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/book/export/html/373

I haven't done much research on dental work and mercury but it might be a question for your doctor or pharmacist. I have quite a few fillings plus an implant and haven't noticed any problems and I've been taking the ALA 600mg of the cheap stuff before starting the protocol in 2016 when I started taking 1200mg of the R-ALA. I do know there are some files on the topic in Solutions to Peripheral Neuropathy Pain & Discomfort Facebook group files (http://facebook.com/groups/spnpd).

Here's a research paper on the topic - hurts my brain to read it 🙂-- White Paper: FDA Update/Review of Potential Adverse Health Risks Associated with Exposure to Mercury in Dental Amalgam: https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/dental-amalgam-fillings/white-paper-fda-updatereview-potential-adverse-health-risks-associated-exposure-mercury-dental

What type of neuropathy do you have? Can you share a little more about your symptoms and treatments you've tried?
