Well fasting causes fat cells to be used for energy, and in the process the
toxins stored in them get released. Hg (maybe not all forms?) is fat-soluble
and thus is stored in fat cells, to my understanding. Therefore it will be
released during a water fast. Again, that is my understanding, but I could
be wrong. And just for clarification, I've already done 3 rounds of *DMSA*
but am on my first round of using *ALA* with the DMSA. Tonight marks my
third day of water fasting and second of chelating. I don't have any major
symptoms, just a very mild headache now and then.

THanks for your feedback. If I get really bad symptoms I'll probably stop
chelating till the fast is over. I'm pretty sure I can do at least a week,
Water fasting does bring on symptoms all by itself, but hopefully nothing
too severe in the next week or two!
