Guest guest Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 >> " Urine tests are not informative and usually confuse people. " > > Can you please explain how it would be confusing? TK--- they are not inforamtive which is why they confuse people, all they show is what is at that time in the kidneys. I imagine I wouldn't show much mercury coming out in the beginning, because it might be other metals first TK--- maybe maybe not which is why urine tests are confusing, they only grab what is available at the time in the kidneys which changes and is not consistent. .. She is willing to let me do my dosing Cutler's way to do the test. She called it a toxic element clearance profile (by Genova). She is also very worried about my minerals being depleted and would like to test them periodically. TK--- this is to make her money and not beneficial for you unless you have pleanty of it to spare. She tried giving me a supplement that had laughable levels (very miniscule amounts) of minerals in them TK-- she is an ND this is what they believe in and the amounts will not help you. and also contained ALA, so I refused. TK-- she doesn't understand I am getting all those minerals anyway in much larger amounts, minus the copper and manganese that was in this product. She wants me to consistently have my kidneys and liver tested as well. Is all this necessary? TK--- this is again to make herself some money, it is not necessary unless you have some diagnosed problem. An initial test and annual testing that most ins cover is a good idea for a benchmark and to compair with. I didn't think the kidneys were much of a concern with low dose chelation. > > Okay, basically I need to stop chelating long enough to figure out if my hyper symptoms are only related to rounds. Then I need to go slower with chelation. > > I still need to figure out what I am paying my ND for. :-( She is open-minded, but she is very nervous about this. She isn't going to read Cutler's work real soon. So far the last few visits, I feel like I have paid to educate her on Andy's work. She also doesn't seem very knowledgeable about thyroid problems. She told me a TSH of 0.6 is hyper, and everything I am finding says it isn't. TK--- she is correct on this when you just use TSH which is not the way to test thyroid. I also felt really well the day I took that test. Maybe I need to find a good thyroid doctor (I do seem to have a nodule on my thyroid...), and do chelation on my own... > > Thanks, > Olif > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
