If memory serves me correctly, John's pain level dropped from an 8 to about the 3-5 range within weeks of starting ALA.
It's certainly worth trying. The only concern I had was with higher dose and how it may impact mercury detoxification. It could mobilize more mercury than your body can handle. But John did fine with it.

Interesting thought about the mercury Marlene. Does R-ALA keep mercury from being excreted from your body?
