electrolytes, ect.

Blood tests aren't really relevant. The metals you are looking for are within

your brain,

your thyroid gland, your adrenal glands, your liver, and/or your kidneys. And

it's not going to show up any blood or urine test.

Alternative doctors sometimes use hair tests or other tests which can indirectly

test for heavy metal toxicities.

Usually the metals that are the culprits are mercury, cadmium, lead, aluminum,

copper.

Although heavy metal detox can take years (MANY years), so that's not a good

suggestion for immediate help. Many people get some quick improvement by

directly

supporting their adrenal or thyroid glands. There are mainstream and

alternative

support for these glands. Note that if your doctor runs the standard tests on

these glands, they may not show up as being bad off. However, it's pretty

easy to see how you reaction to non-prescription adrenal and thyroid support

and see for yourself.

(especially if you just had an accident, you should be getting some adrenal

support -- something like IsoCort can be purchased on Amazon.com)

I have several amalgam fillings in back teeth that I have had since childhood.

I also have no metal (other then the dental fillings)in my body.

allergist who has diagnosed Hypersensitivity syndrome including electrical

current. She has been looking for medical research information about Electrical

sensitivity. But, as you know it is almost nonexistant. She is also presenting

my case at case conference this fall, in hope that another allergist has come

across the same thing in their practice.

For adrenals, there is IsoCort, which provides " right now "

support, although it might not be good for long-term repair.

I find that I get a boost of energy from even 1/2 a pellet.

Standard Process makes several adrenal support supplements

-- Adrenal Desicated, Drenamin, Drenatrophin PMG. Also

their Vitamin C products have adrenal support built

into them. Some of these are short-term/immediate products,

while others are longterm/repair products.

Then there are the herbs that provide adrenal support

or endocrine balance. Licorice, Ashwaganda, Eleuthero, etc.

I do find a pleasant boost from a product called

" Amrit " , which has Ashwaganda as it's #1 ingredient.

As for the thyroid, I had great help from Thyro-Zyme

from Apex Energetics, however, this is a mix of natural

and unnatural/synthetic ingredients, so I've been looking

for something more natural.

I've had mixed reactions to kelp -- I don't react much

to rehydrated seaweed and some brands of kelp tablets,

but other forms too easily make me HYPER thyroid --

Modifilan is one of these, and also that kelp seasoning

that was recently mentioned on the group.

Nascent Iodine seems perfectly tolerable if I only

do a couple drops per day.

I've been experimenting lately with Raw Thyroid

from Natural Sources -- this is definitely strong stuff,

as I keep finding myself too amped up/agitated

from taking it, so I think I'll need to try 1/4

or 1/2 capsules at a time. But this, I think, has

thyroxene in it.

Standard Process make Thytrophin PMH, which has

the thyroxene removed from it, but I have a different

kind of adverse reaction to this -- sort of a

woozy/dizzy reaction.

Maca is supposed to provide overall endocrine balance,

but I can't really tolerate this either, except in

very small amounts.
