toxic hair test results change w/o chelation during abx Lyme treatment ??

[Guest guest]

Hi again,

I thought I'd post this on its own as many here are veterans of

chelation. I submitted this also to the frequent chelation group

(based on Cutler's hair analysis and chelation recommendations

books).

Sorry if the formatting doesn't come out right.

Hi folks,

My 11 year old son is being treated for Lyme disease and has had

significant exposure to molds from a compromised bedroom (which has

since been addressed).

I originally ran a hair test for him 1.5 years ago in which he came

out with the " all-low " type signature and definitely met the counting

rules for showing deranged mineral xport.

I did 3 rounds of chelation last fall but stopped because he

developed severe ongoing GI problems that took a long time to

resolve/go away. Also, since he was on abx for his Lyme treatment,

I was worried about too many interactions that I could not control.

Now that he is more stable, I ran another hair test as a baseline in

prep to restart chelation. I was very shocked to see his results

come back very differently as I have NOT been actively chelating him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------

His test now no longer meets the counting rules – normal – and shows

a more normal pattern!?

How is this possible? His reference ranges are still the same.

Here are my questions and concerns:

• Are these tests generally repeatable and consistent?

• Could I have screwed up in the collection of hair to get such

radically different results?

• Could he have excreted the metals himself without special

chelation aid?

• Could his Lyme abx have stirred things up enough to change

the equation?

• Is he truly " normal " now, in terms of mineral transport?

• If so, what does this current test now show in terms of

problems or issues, as he still has significant and mysterious

health problems (see below)?

• Can he now take ALA on a schedule other than a " safe " one as

defined in " Amalgam Illness " with impunity? Since ALA is helpful to

the liver and he is on abx, this would be a support for him?

• Has anyone else had experience with Lyme or mold affecting

their hair test results?

The significant changes have been his: abx treatment for Lyme,

increased mineral and vitamin supplementation, and removal from a

terrible mold situation (removed from mold situation 2/14/08).

I have not been giving him any other alleged chelators vetted by

Andy, although I am giving reasonable doses of Vit C daily and other

supplementation.

Strange, yes?

Deb,

Andy Cutler's counting rules for interpreting the essential elements on

a Hair Elements test only applies to establish Mercury toxicity in a

person, since only Mercury affects a wide variety of mineral transport

proteins in various different ways. With this said, whether the

pattern of deranged mineral transport has improved or not does not

provide any information on the status of the other two significantly

neuro-toxic metals, Lead and Aluminum. I find this test useful for

understanding Mercury status, but it is not a good gauge of the status

of Lead and Aluminum.

I don't know how to read hair toxin results, but I will say that I

have heard of people dumping metals when treated for pathogens, such

as lyme. Although, the practice is still to do some type of

chelation or detoxing to keep one from relapsing. If he still has

symptoms, I suspect he is still full of pathogens and toxins.

I agree Limin, therefore I used the term " better. " I think even being

anemic might skew the results because heme is somewhere in the

picture? I have not read up too much on the bio-chemistry of it. Then

there is the aspect of diffusion, metals sitting in the brain will

take time to diffuse out especially for seizure kids (I would think).

It is however loads better than the hair test. My son did not even

meet the counting rules for mercury back when he was mobilizing metals

as evidenced by aluminum and other metals in the red, and he was

*definitely* mercury toxic.
