Re: References on Deranged Mineral Transport, Andy correct us if we're wrong

[Guest guest]

In addition to what Jackie has said (I agree) I think that what you

would find in the research literature if you look is that there are

probably lots of research publications about what mercury and other

metal poisons do in the body. Mercury interfering with mineral

transport, and other metals not doing that, would be in lots of

publications in that general research literature. Andy has obviously

read most of the publications that have anything to do with metal

poisoning and doesn't list every single one when he writes his books,

only the major ones. He is so confident in his conclusion that only

mercury deranges mineral transport that I think there must be a real

firm basis in the research literature.

He is the first one to draw on the basic research, tie it in with

observations of hair tests, and devise a practical method for

estimating probability of deranged mineral transport and thus mercury

poisoning.

And about that relatively obscure Russian paper - you can find

translations in archives. It's worth reading.

If you have time to dig up any of the other publications that he has

referred to in his books and get them in pdf format I can post them in

the files section. Then we could look at them and see what they

actually say.

Andy learned that some alternative practitioners were able to

recognize mercury poisoning in a hair test and say that it had " the

look and feel " of mercury, but had no way of quantifying this. He

then developed the counting rules as a way of doing this, using

probabilities of the likelihood of this happening randomly or not, to

make a hair test easily readable and quantifiable as far as mercury is

concerned. So I take this as meaning that he is the first one who has

been able to quantify it in some easily useable form. I don't know if

he was the first to " discover " it. And he seems to know that mercury

is the only metal that will cause this. I don't know if he discovered

that on his own, or if there is any reference to that, or if these

other practitioners noticed this also. But he does say in HTI that no

other metal on its own will cause this pattern of derangement in a

hair test. So I believe that his chemistry/physics/mathematical

background and intense interest in this subject allowed him to

discover this relationship between DMT and mercury, or at least

quantify it into an easily useable and understandable form. So I

don't think you're going to find much reference to this, and Andy's

Hair Test book might be the first one to explain it.---------Jackie
