Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 I have Calphalon and I don't like it because I noticed that the metal coating comes off and no doubt in the food. I wish I could show you my pots. I now use Farberware although I didn't give it the Andy's " magnet " test as of yet.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2001 Report Share Posted July 31, 2001 Everyone who lives in the US soutwest and a few other locations has high uranium due to the local geology. Depending on where you live in Texas it may be normal there. + 2 standard deviations is no big deal. It is a problem starting at +4 or 5.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2001 Report Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hi Michele, The only thing I know about what is " high " is what the reference range says. You say your son has 6.8 with ref range of < .06. TEN TIMES .06 is .6 ; ONE HUNDRED TIMES .06 is 6.0. Your son's level is about 113 times the listed " reference range " . I would say this is FAR FAR more than " high " . It's like " in the stratosphere somewhere " . As I said, I only know what the ref ranges say. Since you said you are new, please also read the " counting rules " file, if you have not already done so. It explains how to tell from a hair test whether the person is mercury toxic. A low or normal reading for merc does NOT mean they are okay. (That would be too simple !) /files/Counting%2BRules best, Moria >Hi, >We are new to this group and the issue of heavy metals.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2001 Report Share Posted August 2, 2001 Hi Donna, There are really a lot of aspects to your questions and I am not gonna address them all (I just don't have the time right now). But let me address a couple of points that may help a bit. Regarding the " other metals " : 1. this is sort of a confusing thing, but possibly very important: according to Andy (and at the basis of " the counting rules " ) mercury toxicity seriously messes up " mineral transport " . Okay, so that means the body can't process calcium and magnesium and maganese correctly. HOWEVER this little concept ALSO applies to the TOXIC elements. How this applies in a practical sense I'm not exactly sure. Well, it means that if your child is merc toxic you might take the other metals with a grain of salt. I'm not sure if this means that once you get the merc handled the others will " correct themselves " ? That I would not know. But the other metals may just be seriously out of whack BECAUSE of being merc toxic. That's my understanding, like I said, this seems a bit confusing. (I guess I also wonder about it since I am merc toxic according to counting rules, and my ESSENTIAL minerals are VERY out-of-whack but my TOXIC minerals are all within ref range, NOT out-of-whack.) 2. lots of parents have reported lots of metals being excreted using DMSA or DMSA/ALA. If you use DMSA you may be treating a lot more metals than just mercury. DMSA *definately* chelates lead. (That is what is was approved as a treatment for). ALA chelates arsenic. But, even beyond that, parents who are doing urine tests have reported a nubmer of other metals excreted with DMSA. (I haven't kept track which ones.) Do make sure there is no mercury actually IN your twins' mouths (amalgam fillings) before you start chelating. best, Moria At 12:15 AM 7/31/2001 EDT, you wrote: >Hi everyone, I posted my son's hair heavy metals test incorrectly I see from >the files I've been searching, Sorry!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 geez, Suze, how do you suppose you got loaded with uranium? i understand uranium isn't that bad, actually. best to you. On Fri, 18 Jun 2004 21:47:14 -0400 " Suze Fisher " <s.fisher22@...> writes: I'm dealing with this issue on a very personal note, FWIW as I just found out 2 days ago via a hair test that I'm LOADED with uranium - the most toxic AND radioactive metal on the planet, AFAIK. And from what little I've read there's supposedly no way to detox chronic uranium poisoning. I just don't believe it though. I don't think it would be in my *hair* in the first place if I weren't excreting it since the hair is a common excretion pathway for several metals. My 2 sense ;-) LOL Suze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
