Re: janey's 'new' ddl hair test/andy/friends pls. read

[Guest guest]

Janey,

This hair test is improved over the previous one! You probably

don't feel better, because your Ca/Mg/Na/K numbers still look

like you have a thyroid/adrenal issue.

Your copper is now in the green - that's good! Uranium and

arsenic have dropped from yellow to green as well!

You now have only three reds, which means you no longer meet

the counting rules. Have you done any chelation between

these two hair tests? Or used any special supplements?

Cadmium is higher than before - that might mean you are now

able to excrete it, which of course is a good thing.

One thing you should check - your antimony result below

says .815 and the color is green. Can't be right since

..815 is greater than ref range (< .05). Either the .815

or the green is a typo.

Whatever you did between the two tests (supplements, diet,

lifestyle, chelation) has helped somewhat. You still need

to do something for your thyroid/adrenals - that is likely

to make you feel a lot better.

stephanie-thank you so much for taking out the time to look over both

my results.

yes, my mistake about the antimony it is:0.015.

i totally agree with you on the thyroid/adrenal thing. i must get to

the bottom of that. i have been on this roller coaster ride for 3

years with anxiety,brain fog...

i thank you again..

sorry, forgot to add that i have not chelated at all and just used

very little supplements. maybe a round of dmps would do me good?

I had the impression from your posts on A-M and here that

you had not chelated. Yes, I think it is a good idea.

Your body seems to be making some progress on its own,

based on your hair tests, but you can help it a lot

by chelating.

Can you remind me - when did you have your amalgams removed?

I think you should try to get on thyroid/adrenal support

before you start chelating if possible. It will be a lot

easier on your body that way.

Also, adding Andy's recommended supplements is important

to support you during chelation. Do you have his Amalgam

Illness book? It would be very helpful for you.

all nine amalgams where totally out a year & a half ago.

yep, i have andy's 2 books that i read over & over again.

i heard that blood tests are useless for checking thyroid and to do

a saliva test?

the thing that puzzles me is that i'm sick for about 2 months, then

get better for a while, then it hits me again.

even though i have the dmps, i don't think i'm strong enough to do it.

you are right i need these adrenals/thyriod & candida under control.

also after i eat, i get the ringing in my right ear...agh!

i don't know whats worse, the anxiety,hives or nausea...

thanx again stephanie your full of info!

People have different opinions about this. I've used blood

tests for thyroid, and saliva for adrenal testing. From what

I've seen these are the most often recommended for each. If

I recall correctly, Andy recommends blood testing for both.

That is puzzling. What symptoms are the worst when you get sick?

Is it more physical or emotional or both? Does anything seem to

bring it on? Does it come on suddenly or gradually? Is there

anything you do when feeling sick that seems to help get you out

of that sick period? (Like maybe you don't eat as much for

awhile, or eat different things, or rest a lot, or something).

I'm not sure I can really help, but asking yourself these

questions might help figure it out.

In fact, keeping a diary of how you are feeling on a daily

basis can be useful in helping figure out things like this.

That's interesting. Is it always brought on by eating? Does it

go away before you eat again? Makes me think of candida, possibly.

I had terrible ear congestion, ringing, and itching in my ears

before I got candida under control.

* when i get sick it starts out with hives,anxiety,brainfog,

nausea, very tense..then i drop weight and i'm very fatigued.

* good idea, i'll do that.

* i know i've got the candida, been on the diet for about 6 months.

i was doing fine...then i got a horrible TMJ pain (jaw) took

ALOT of advil for 2 months (still feeling fine). after i stopped

the advil...all of these horrid symtoms came back. i'm sure i did

a job on my liver.
