[Guest guest]

Still working on assessing some of the hair test

results that my doctor forwarded from Doctor's

Data but for now noting the following:

Son: Dx PDD-NOS, on autistic spectrum , sensory

processing defensiveness, ADHD dx and anxiety

Aluminum 3x above normal reference range

Antimony 2x above normal reference range

Arsenic 5x above normal reference

range

Cadmium 2x above normal reference range

Lead almost 2x above normal

reference range but serum levels normal

Mercury 75% less than normal range (

versus my 4x normal reference range)

Magnesium Below reference range

Sodium 6x above reference range ***

Potassium 10x r above reference range ***

Zinc 50% of reference range i.e.

low

Chromium 2x above normal reference range

Boron 20% above normal reference

range

Rubidium 5x above normal range

Mom : DX progressive Multiple sclerosis; likely

toxin mediated illness, autoimmune disorders,

likely detox pathway problems, MCS, fibromyalgia,

likely ASD stuff as a child. Low thyroid on armour

Aluminum 3x above normal reference range

Arsenic 5x above normal reference

range

Mercury 4x +++ above normal reference

range and doc underlined this in big letters with

exclamation points (I have never had mercury

amalgams in my life nor vaccinations BUT I eat

7-10 fish meals per week

Magnesium Normal but low consistently in

serum levels (very low)

Potassium 25% below i.e. one fourth of

normal reference range **

Zinc 2x above normal reference

range

Magnasese 2x above normal reference range

I had similar things tested by Doctor's Data but through urine

provocation test. You take something, in this case DMSA, to provoke

elimination of heavy metals. In this case my lead level was found

to be extremely high and that's when I learned I had lead paint in

the old house I live in. Anyway, I was pleased that I had '0'

aluminum, since it has been implicated in altzheimers, which I'm

very much afraid of. I attribute it to fact that I haven't drunk a

soda pop since about 1990 and before that not too often. Maybe the

two aren't related but that is only thing I can think of that would

bring me in contact with alot of aluminum. Since soda pop is made

with filtered water, if minerals were chelated out of water, like in

reverse osmosis, water would act like a magnet, pulling aluminum

from the can, chelating it out. Distilled water and reverse osmosis

water will do that. The popularity of soda pop in aluminum cans

could be the reason for increase in altzheimers. We were told

probably normal rate but we are just living longer, so seeing this

more.

I am due to get a hair analysis in a few months.

p.s. to my own post: Suspicion of aluminum to altzheimer's is from

autopsies showing high or higher levels of aluminum in brain tissue of

altzheimer's victims.
