Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 You can get a doctor to give your child a chelating challenge, which is a high dose of a chelating medicine, and then collect a urine sample at a specified time. You can do a hair test. This will not show mercury excretion if your child is mercury toxic...If s/he could excrete it, there would be no toxicity...You can use Dr. Cutler's Counting Rules for reading a hair test. These will tell you if it is likely that your child is mercury-toxic. There's probably a link to those on this site. If not, e-mail me privately and I will send them to you.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I would start with a hair elements test http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_hair_test.html I would also get a copy of your child's vaccination administration records and the weight at each administration and determine how much thimerosal was received in immunizations. http://www.nvic.org/Issues/HgCalculator.htm Jackie---- > Does anyone recommend what to do or where to go to get a > child's mercury level checked?

Use the hair test link, get a doctor's data hair element profile, interpret it as described on the link or in my book Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities. DO NOT do a challenge test!

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Hi. the response is typical, because our children are poor excreaters. Is believed that their detoxification pathway is impeded, so any heavy metals they come in contact with is cumulated.

" well, the results were less than normal at .04 where as the norm is .10 and anything above is elevated mercury can someone tell me if that means she does not have mercury poising?

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Mercury toxicity will only show up in blood very shortly after exposure because it tends to be stored away in the tissues much quicker than other toxic metals. If you suspect mercury toxicity, the EPA recommends hair testing and/or provocative urine testing through a specialist. Since doctors recommend against directly treating metals toxicity, and this subject tends to cause strife on the list, I'd recommend that if you want to explore this subject, you can find much more information on one of the lists that discusses it regularly like autismmercury or abmd. I'd also be happy to answer any questions you have off-list. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Please read the FAQs of this list. Kelmer tests are dangerous and not very useful. A hair elements test from DDI with counting rules applied will give you more useful info. If your doctor is doing Kelmer tests, I bet he or she also prescribes unsafe, high, infrequent doses. Please educate yourself before going along with this doctor and potentially doing your child further harm. Milk thistle is good for liver support. S S <p>Hi,<br> I'm migrating form the gfcf board as we're about to start DMSA. Can <br> anyone tell me more about my sons Kelmer results? His first test came <br> back as 99% (said up to 150% was normal) and after two months of <br> Bentonite it was up to 296%. This is why we're moving to stronger <br> chelation... what I want to know is- how high is this?<br> Are we talking off the scale or are these levels routinely seen in our <br> kids?<br> Also, he's 3years old and will be taking ALA at the same time- do I <br> need to give him anything else for liver/kidney support during this <br> time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Sx<br> <br> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
