Re: Marj's hair test, comments appreciated

[Guest guest]

Hi Marj,

I looked at your hair test no 28 a. It does not meet Andy's counting

rules. The counting rules are one way of picking up on people with

deranged mineral transport that is most commonly associated with

mercury poisoning. It is possible and not unusual to not meet

counting rules and still be mercury poisoned, like if the greatest

exposures were long ago and the mercury is hidden deep in tissues or

if the majority of mercury is in the brain.

There are several things that make your test suspicious for mercury.

One is the very low mercury reading. Your body is likely having

trouble excreting it, which is common when people are poisoned. The

low lithium with a fairly high calcium points to mercury.

The low potassium does indicate thyroid problems. It is good that you

are going to see an endocrinologist, but don't be disappointed if

he/she doesn't know how to treat your endocrine problems. Endo's are

mostly used to treating diabetics and have little time for unusual

problems. Mercury often poisons the pituitary and hypothalamus which

leads to adrenal insufficiency and secondary hypothyroidism. Only

exceptional doctors pick up on those problems. It will help if your

endo will test for TSH (can be low, normal or high in secondary

hypothyroidism), free T3, free T4, and antithyroid antibodies (there

are three antibody tests).

There are several points in your history that indicate mercury poisoning.

Working as a dental assistant gives you high exposure and having a

head injury at the same time will give the mercury one easy way to get

into the brain. (I had a head injury too when my exposures to mercury

were large).

Being sick for 3 months after a DMPS challenge indicates toxicity.

One would expect that someone with zero metals in there body would

have little reaction to DMPS. Please, please don't let anyone do this

to you again.

The symptoms that you described are all consistent with mercury poisoning.

It would be good if you could add some more supplements, like

magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, milk thistle, B vitamins, and molybdenum

(see " Amalgam Illness " pages 133-134).

Good luck and let us know how you are.
