Which lab to do hair analysis?

[Guest guest]

If I find a doctor to do this which lab is reliable to get accurate results?

Why is it that if there is no positive result for mercury in a hair test

there still might be some? Why would a urine challenge test following DMSA

be any more reliable than the urine and blood tests ( and hair analysis)my

son has already had? Are these labs reliable? Don't they stand to benefit

if they get parents of autistic children to start doing these tests so they

will report results positive for metals.

Should I use an old lock of her vs. hair from today to do a hair analysis.

Is there any difference? Would one be better than the other?

With vaccines each person has been injected with mercury

(thimerosal), what are the chances of being injected with a deadly

toxin and it not being inside you? Many people do not chelate or

remove mercury from their bodies, so these toxins will not show up in

hair. BUT IT IS STILL THERE. DMSA (Chemet succimer) will kick the

mercury out of the cells that it is hiding in to give a better test,

but even this does not always show what is considered toxic levels of

mercury. The low levels of mercury required to make a SIDS death

baby (sudden infant death syndrome) are well below the toxic levels,

yet baby is still DEAD. So what levels of a toxic metal is OK?

Maybe zero? Any hair is OK to use, and old hair will let you see

what was happening at the time of the hair cut. If I were you I

would go ahead and test old hair, and a current sample. For the most

current study on DMSA (Chemet succimer), go to

messages/govinfo and type in tlc this will

give the most current study on the use of the drug. The 350 placebo

children were in most cases LESS healthy than the 350 Chemet

children. Why would a doctor withhold a medication that is 3 times

less harmful than a placebo?? (a sugar pill)

Doctor's Data.

Mercury impairs mineral transport, which means it messes up how much

mercury (a mineral) gets moved into the hair.

Urine challenge tests are totally worthless and should never be used

since they entail risk and cost extra money.

Yes. Much more so than " mainstream " labs.

No more so than any lab benefits from running tests, or any doctor

benefits from making a diagnosis that requires more visits.

Hair from today is fine.

Dear Andy: When I've suspected Hg poisoning but hair doesn't show it,

sometimes the only way I can convince is to do a challenge test. When they

see the Hg pouring out, they become believers and are willing to undergo

chelation. Parents are usually willing to start chelation anyway because

they already know about the vaccination input of Hg, but many adults need

this kind of evidence. This is particularly true of those who've had their

amalgams removed so think the problem is solved, even though they still have

lots of symptoms. One man had his first day of no headache in years on the

day I was doing the challenge test, and has gone on to very successful

results with chelation. I've had no bad results from doing the challenge

test so far, but do believe for kids its usually not necessary. Jaquelyn

If the " challenge test " is doing a round of typical chelation at a safe dose,

it often will show more metals than urine taken with no provocative agent

(chelator) but not always. Sometimes it takes a few rounds for stuff to show

up since the body eliminates at different rates and sometimes the metals get

bound up. However, a provocative urine test can be more telling often than

just hair alone. Sometimes you can get cross-contamination and false

positives if the hair is washed in water containing toxic metals. Also,

sometimes you don't see alot of metals in hair but then see them during a

round of chelation because it is from very old exposures that may be tucked

elsewhere in the body.

I think what Andy is saying is dangerous is when a much larger dosage of

chelator is given than would normally be given during rounds of chelation to

force more metals out for test purposes. I'm sure he'll correct me if I'm

assuming wrongly, but I think he'd agree that doing a test round or two of

chelation and testing urine is wise to do if you suspect toxicity even if the

hair analysis doesn't show high.
