Help understand my Hair test results.

[Guest guest]

My first hair test has been posted at

http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/hairtest.html

I am number 112, 38 years old male from London, UK

My history + symptoms are listed at the same place and again here

below. The only major thing I forgot to include is that I am always

cold, my average body temperature upon waking is 96.4 deg (averaged

over one week)

I am currently reading Andy Cutlers hair test book. I am in the red

for mercury toxic, I don't meet the counting rules, but I have been

supplementing lots this year.

My Iodine is close to the red, will my intake of Himalayan rock salt

have affected that level?

I'd be forever in your debt if someone could help me understand what

the results mean.

Thanks, Sunshine

This is my first hair test, collected 5th sept 2007.

Location : London, England

38 years old, Male.

1) Dental History.

I had metal braces when I was approx 14 years old, for about 2

years. I assume I had amalgam fillings at the time.

I have had a metal " land bridge " for 15 years, when I definitely

had amalgams in my mouth during that time.

9-10 years ago I had 8 amalgams put in my mouth in one sitting.

Looking back in hindsight, that was when my troubles started.

This year, Jan 2007, I had the land bridge replaced with a non-

metallic bridge.

This year, Feb 2007, I had 1 large amalgam removed with no

protection by a normal dentist. (All my symptoms detailed below then

got considerably worse.)

This year, July +August 2007, I had 5 amalgams removed, (2 sittings,

one quadrant at a time), with rubber dam + oxygen from mercury free

dentist.

I still have 3 amalgams to remove from 2 quadrants.

2) symptoms:

Chronic back problems with chronic back pain in top, middle and

lower spine, plus neck for 9-10 years. Gradually leading to

inability to do any physical exercise, although I can still work in

my office job.

Chronic heartburn, digestive problems and constipation with constant

use of all types of antacids for 8-9 years.

Chronic food mal-absorption leading to massive weight loss, I am

currently very underweight with almost zero body fat. (I weight;123

pounds, I am 6foot 1 inch tall)

Chronic fatigue just started to rear it ugly head this year.

Multiple food intolerances (dairy/wheat/nighshade/soya/sugar/all

processed foods/caffeine/alcohol)

Multiple chemical sensitivities

Recently I have discovered I cannot handle sulphur foods

I feel Tired, weak, lacking in energy most of the time.

I was depressed in 2000-2003, but fine now.

In January 2007 I changed my diet, which resulted in much reduced

symptoms, especially the heartburn which 95pct disappeared after 2

weeks of cleaned-up good diet.

Mental problems; have had problems with depression, but that's all

gone now. Short term memory is doing strange things this year. I

forget common words when talking. I say and type the wrong thing

when I mean another.

3) Other relevant info;

This year I have dedicated to educating myself and getting better

and I tried a lot of different health regaining activities, mostly

successful which have all helped, but I still have declining health.

The BIG error was the amalgam removal with no protection, that

screwed me up.

I have done 9 liver flushes this year, but none since June. I have

done 2 x kidney cleanses and 1 x parasite cleanse (with excellent

results) plus some bowel cleanses. Oil Pulling 5-7 times per week

for 5 months, dry skin brushing daily. Radical diet clean-up these

last 8 months, ultra limited diet and a host of other special diets.

I have done over 12 epsom salt baths these last 3 months.

This year I have stopped taking all OTC drugs, like asprin,

gaviscon, zantac, and stopped all prescription drugs too, for

example Nexium.

I took some cysteine which really screwed me up. I will never take

that again.

I have been on " The Watercure " for 8 months, drinking minimum 2

liters of water per day together with 1 tsp Himalayan rock salt.

4) supplements:

This year is the first year I have been taking supplements. It

started with mega doses of magnesium, calcium, multi Vit B's, B12.

Calcium has been totally stopped because I get constipated with

calcium supplements now. I have reduced quantity down to the

following after the early mega dosages.

magnesium citrate 1000 mg

betaine & pepsin 960mg + 20 mg

Vit E 400mg (600iu) (4000pct RDA)

Vit C 368mg (600pct RDA) plus vit E 30mg

vit B12 100ug (10000pct RDA)

iron plus vit C 10mg plus Vit C 300mg

GTF chromium 120 ug

grapefruit seed extract 225mg

Oregon grape extract 400mg

2 x large Dosage Multi Vit B

5) Recent developments AFTER the hair test collected:

A major discovery/breakthrough has occurred since the hair test. I

had a very successful parasite cleanse. Plus a very successful 7 day

veg-juice only cleanse. But the biggest discovery was that I am

allergic to my cats. Now I am no longer exposed to this cat toxin

and suddenly the chronic bad back is 60pct better, my intolerances

have 60pct disappeared, ditto MCS. I am at last starting to heal. I

am at last gaining weight. I am still intolerant to dairy, some

chemicals and sulphur foods.

6) mercury exposure; from 1999 to approx 2001 I was grinding my

teeth very hard, day and especially in the night. Dentists look at

my teeth in horror when they see my teeth all worn away. My 8

amalgam fillings are all shinny from the grinding. Serious grinding

has been stopped, although I assume I still grind a little at night,

but significantly less than before.

End, Thanks vm,

Sunshine.
