Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 While at the DANs today, I asked whether the first and second run of porphyrin analyses we took for the kids (from Philippe Auguste in Paris) differed because metals had been " shaken up " and became more visible during the course of treatment. She said yes. I thought this was interesting because of some discussions about UPPA results " being all over the place " for some patients when testing is repeated over a period of time. I'm not sure upon what this DAN based her assertion. I thought, from my rank layman's perspective, that it made sense that if you remove allergens from the diet and add supplements which increase the body's ability to detox that, even without chelating, metals will be back on the move (hopefully on their way out). Our first UPPAs showed moderate levels of mercury for both kids. The second UPPAs showed high amounts of mercury, lead and arsenic for both kids, despite the fact that we stopped vaccinating, removed all the kids' lead-tainted toys, etc.. In between the two sets of tests were months on the GF/CF/SF diet and treatment for malabsorbtion issues, treatment of yeast etc.. Only now are we considering chelating. The improvements in the kids just from dietary restrictions alone have been massive and their glutathione levels have improved and other labs, especially issues of malabsorbtion and yeast. Any comments? I just find it fascinating that both kids showed the same pattern of equivalent improvements in health, labs and behavior along with increasing " visibility " of metals.
