Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 No, Beth, I haven't been tested for heavy metals. Is there a certain place, type testing you recommend? I know there was an article on another site talking about platinum being harmless.......! I know one woman who has multiple lesions all over her brain from platinum embedded there from her implants, and brain fog galore. She's in super bad shape. I feel so sorry for her. Wonderful person.
