Hi Nicola,

It is likely to self-correct as the mercury comes down. But supportive

treatment in the mean time will make you feel a lot better. Do you have

unstable moods? Lithium will help there, take 15-30mg elemental lithium as

Lithium Orotate form per day with meals.

==>I wanted to report something that happened here, we had one of our hair

tests where we had Lithium in the low red, only one and this is the first time

any essential element showed up in the low red.

We supplemented only 3 mgs per day of supplemental Lithium Orotate (4.5 mgs

was the recommended dose for her) and it raised her Lithium to normal in just 3

months. However, it tanked her thyroid and required that we raise the level of

Armour.

It is said that low supplemental levels cannot upset the thyroid, but that is

what we saw here. Its possible the two things are not related but just, fyi,

careful with the Lithium. If anyone can shed some light on this, please do.

Calcium that is high in the hair means it is tending towards low in the

body. You can supplement with it, but are more likely to achieve results by

helping you thyroid function. High calcium is associated with sluggish

thyroid. Also the parathyroid controls calcium levels, so a desiccated

thyroid (Armour) would help supply some of this.

Other options are you are not absorbing it. With the all-low presentation

that is likely, so increasing vit C/Betaine HCL/digestive enzymes with meals

would help

Since we could not use the counting rules on that old test from another lab,

that might not be true. Your body may in the mean time become overwhelmed

and could no longer excrete mercury. That is where the real problems begin.

We know you still have lots of mercury hidden because of this hair test.

What was the date of each test and what had you done between each one, and

had you chelated?

The antimony will come down with DMSA, DMPS and ALA. Unless you are still

exposed to a source. It may be higher due to the all-low reading. Same for

mercury.
