Re: Mercury Levels in Blood

[Guest guest]

Jen, if you are concerned about the mercury issue in regards to

breastfeeding, why not have some of your breastmilk tested? I think

DDI will do it--call them and ask. That would be more reliable than

the blood test.

FWIW, my son's blood test showed no problem with mercury either. His

hair test however, was the classic disordered mineral transport. He

is a child that improved with chelation. So no, I don't feel the

blood test was accurate in his case, and probably not in yours either.

> I got the results back from the blood I had tested for mercury and

the nurse said it was '0'. Is it possible to have a mouthful of old

fillings and not show ANY mercury? It just seems odd that there

wouldn't at least be a little bit floating around in there. Are

blood tests for mercury usually reliable? I would be very happy if I

could trust the results because I wouldn't have any concerns about

breastfeeding now but it just seems to be too good to be true. UGH!

Why must I overthink everything???

S.A. and W.

Thank you for your responses to my post. I guess now I'm back where I started

with the whole breastfeeding issue...don't know which way to go. And I have no

time or money to do further testing so I suppose hubby and I will just have to

discuss pros and cons and make our decision.

R: [ ] Mercury levels in blood

The mercury stays in the blood only for a little time, and then it goes

in the others tisues and in other tissues ramains.

For this reason the bloody test is not entrusted.

My doctor told me if your blood mercury is low, then there cannot be

mercury in your milk. It does NOT mean you are not poisoned, it just

means mercury might already been fixed in organs and is not

circulating anymore. If your blood mercury is high, then you need to

have your milk tested because it might be low or high. It is hard to

tell.

I had some mercury in my blood (just a tiny bit, way below the limit

mentionned in the test results), I decided to continue breastfeeding.

Today my daughter is NT, is 18 month old, and I still breastfeed her.

I know she is poisoned from birth (hair test showed mercury and

mineral transport issues) but I do not have any fillings, did not get

any shots, and I stopped eating sea food. That sounds hard to believe

but I poisoned my 2 children just by eating a lot of seafood before

getting pregnant and a little bit during pregnancy!

I read testimonies of moms that had contaminated their child while

breastfeeding, so it is a difficult decision to make.

The problem with fillings is that they can leak, so you might be ok

today but not tomorrow...

Breastmilk is really beneficial, especially for our children.

I would call back the nurse and get a copy of the test results. 0

mercury, or non detectable sounds a bit strange, maybe she meant

under the limit.

Good luck,

Sure, contact a medical laboratory or a physician and ask for a

mercury test. It will probably cost around $140, though.

Have you considered a hair analysis? From Doctor's Data they are about $95.
