I am new and in doubt

[Guest guest]

I have many bad health problems for years, like these:

-very foggy thinking and other cognitive problems.

-tiredness

-poor liver function -> often yellow color around mouth.

-strange vision (tunnel, blurry, difficult to have overview)

-weak adrenals (I use low dose hydrocortisone now)

-slight joint pain in hand and feet

-bad digestion

-chronic fungal problems

They are so bad that I can only work part time and even have

difficulty with that.

A year ago I did some testing.

This were the 'high' results in URINE (all in mcg/g Creatinine):

Copper: 836,400

Mangenese: 20,301

Lead: 27,696

Mercury: 32,520

Nickel: 16,113

For this test, I got an IV dose of 'DMPS & Zn-DTPA'. It was analysed

by microtrace.de (Germany). I live in the Netherlands.

I also did hair testing: 'Elemental Analysis Hair' at GSDL. All

except Uranium where within reference range:

Uranium: 0.0162 mcg/g (Ref= <0.0057)

Is uranium problematic for health?

As I did not really trust the clinic where I did the Urine testing

(they offer expensive IV chelation) I did not start chelation.

I had only 2 amalgam fillings which I had removed about a year ago.

At that time I could not imagine that heavy metals might be the root

cause of my problems. Now I am quite in doubt.

I would be very grateful if someone could advise me about this. I

have just ordered Andy's book today. Do the data above indicate a

problem? I discovered that the 'reference range' of the urine test

was based on urine without provocative chelation agent; so these

reference ranges are not representative, because I got IV DMPS & Zn-

DTPA.

I am in doubt because also my copper level seemed to be quite high. I

must say that in that time I was using a Multi-supplement with high

Copper (1000mcg per day) and high manganese (5mg per day). That might

have influenced the urine test? I did quit that Multi-supplement.

I think that the detox-capacity of my body is quite low at this

moment. I have chronic obstipation for years. I know that disposal of

heavy metals is mainly through bile/gut, so I am afraid that I am re-

absorbing a lot of it. Is it possible that my liver is poor because

of heavy metals? Or do I have these metals because my liver is not

optimal? Recently I did my first liver flush.

Do you think I should start chelation? What about copper as ALA seems

to increase that?

Thank you so much for any advice!!!
