Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi everyone, We were about to order a test from labbio.net, but a friend told me her DAN! recommended a test from them that cost $400 for mercury testing. The one I always thought to do, or rather the only I one I knew of was about $125. I looked on the website, but couldn't find an explanation. Does anyone know what the difference is? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 , The UPPA test, the " one I knew of was about $125 " test is a TEST for mercury poisoning -- IT does NOT measure mercury!!! The other test seems to be a test for mercury in some unspecified sample (as you doid not provide any details about this test. In genaral, UNLESS the exposure was recent (within 3 days), direct testing for mercury does NOT: 1. Give you an accurate measure of the body burden of mercury, or 2. Tell you whether or not your child (or yourself) is mercury poisoned. To overcome the first limitation, chelation challenge studies MAY give you some idea of the body's level of mercury retention and poisoning but, in many cases, it does NOT. The UPPA test is a test that, if a valid sample is submitted and valid results are reported, CAN answer the mercury poisoned or NOT question and, based on some as yet unpublished research, for those whos porphyrin profiles classify them as mercury poisoned, MAY provide a useful measure of the severity of the mercury poisoning and, based on publsihed data, can be used to track the " success " of a given chelation protocol in removing mercury from the body of a mercury-poisoned person. For more information on the UPPA test, you can visit the CoMeD web site: http://www.mercury-freedrugs.org Hopefully, the information provided to you has adequately addressed your question. ******************************************* *The information provided in this email * *and any attachment thereto is just that * * -- information. * * * *It is not medical advice and it does not * *require any specific action or actions. * * * *While the information is thought to be * *accurate, no representation is made as * *to the accuracy of the information posted* *other than it is my best understanding of* *the facts on the date that this email and* *any attachments thereto are posted. * * * *Everyone should verify the accuracy of * *the information provided for themselves * *before acting on it. * ******************************************* Respectfully, Dr. King http://www.dr-king.com +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ At 03:15 2/9/08 -0000, wrote: > >Hi everyone, > >We were about to order a test from labbio.net, >but a friend told me her DAN! recommended a >test from them that cost $400 for mercury >testing.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 The $125 test from France is the Porphyrin Profile; it is for mercury/lead toxicity. Maybe the DAN wants some more testing; the French lab is doing also Urine's Organics Acids, pterines test, etc… > > > >Hi everyone, > > > >We were about to order a test from labbio.net, > >but a friend told me her DAN! recommended a > >test from them that cost $400 for mercury > >testing.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Does she still practice somewhere in NY? One of the first books I read on medicine and it's pitfalls was hers. My Dan! (Derrick Lonsdale) had it in his office. She is wonderful. I remember one great line particularly, (paraphrasing, since I read it a decade ago) " A headache is not a Darvon deficiency.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 The Poryphrin's test is a good test -- but basically a waste of your money. Does that make sense? You can do a test now on your child and get low mercury and then run it again in a few months and get high mercury levels. It does not tell you if you need to continue to chelate or detox, It only reads what is presently floating in your system at that given time of the test.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Well, I got the french porphyrin profile (UPPA), and more recenty the American version through LabCorp. The results were consistent for BOTH of my mercury poisoned children, so in my opinion, it was worth the cost of the French lab (which was 110.00 at the time), and my insurance paid for the LabCorp test, thanks to our DAN! Hope this helps, > > > >Hi everyone, > > > >We were about to order a test from labbio.net, > >but a friend told me her DAN! recommended a > >test from them that cost $400 for mercury > >testing.
