Also antimony and tin (among others) are elevated in the toxic mineral section although with mineral transport problems it is unclear if it means anything, just however common to be messed up if you meet the counting rules. Any mercury/silver/amalgam fillings? Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 > I just got the hair elements test results back from DDI for my 7 year old. I tested him because of his health issues listed below. He is current on all his immunizations (regretfully), He received a flu shot last October...(stupid me) and while I was pregnant with him, I had one amalgam replaced with composit. Hi Nahla, He most definitely fulfils 2 of the counting rules. Many on the red and prominent all-low profile. It suggests he is retaining A LOT of mercury due to the deranged mineral transport. All low tests mean metals can be a lot higher. He would benefit from vitamin C and digestive enzymes with every meal to help digest. Other vitamins may help him a lot. Lithium supplement would help regulate his moods. Vitamin E is also excellent (only the natural one ) along with the other supplements of course. He really also needs to chelate. Good luck with helping him heal. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Nahla, The hair test meets 2 counting rules (5 or less over and 4 or more in red). On an all low test, the toxics are higher than they appear. I would remove sources of antimony. He could use some digestive enzymes and ascorbic acid to support absorption. Not sure about betaine hcl with kids...I would start with enzymes and get more input from other parents on the autism-mercury list. He could use a lithium supplement (HTI book, p. 257). He's a fast metabolizer, so in addition to the digestive support, a higher fat diet and lots of vitamin D are recommended (HTI book, p. 112). Lots of allergies, asthma, aversion to eggs, and intolerance to dairy suggest trying a low sulfur diet to see if he does better. He could use a lot more supplements in general. There is a supplement file in the autism-mercury files, with appropriate dosing recommendations for kids. When you say " emotionally vulnerable " and I see Na and K somewhat higher than Ca and Mg (even though the latter are not together), I think trying adrenal cortex extract might be a good idea. -- > > I just got the hair elements test results back from DDI for my 7 year old.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 > Any ideas on how to get him to swallow a pill? (sigh) Check the files at autism-mercury. And remember that he's definitely swallowing chunks of food as big as a capsule, he *can do it! Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
