FINAL*Re: New to Group- looking for advice/feedback on DDI hair analysis

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,

I agree that mercury seems a more likely problem. After thinking

about it it doesn't surprise me that I am copper and magnesium

deficient since that is common among people with weak adrenal

function. I still have the copper IUD but plan to have it removed

soon anyway. I can't help feeling I wish there were a more definitive

answer (rather than a *high probability*). When I think about some of

the low elements I wonder if it's just due to poor diet and not nec

mercury poisoning...I know, DENIAL. I can't help it. I have so many

fillings I can't imagine what they would do to removed them other

than leave me toothless! That, and I really don't have that kind of

money right now. My state of health has left me unable to work and

living off my boyfriend for the past year and a half. I will

definitely be checking out Andy's books, but I'm not sure I will be

able to do anything about the problem for a while. Any tips in the

meantime on cutting back my aluminum exposure? I guess I'll have to

quit antipersperant for sure. It doesn't seem that my aluminum level

is that big a problem since it seems only slightly over the range

(7.9 vs under 7.0) but I certainly don't want it to get any higher,

especially if mercury poisoning is causing me to retain it.

I plan to supplement with magnesium, which I was doing last year for

a while. But I don't think I will supplement w/ copper since high

levels can be toxic. I think I will try to eat foods rich in copper

instead. Not sure what to do about high chromium. I fyou have any

advie for this, also appreciated.

Thanks again for your advice. Connie
