Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I also took the Melisa test. I think it is great because it gives unambiguous results and doctors can't dismiss it out of hand. You can ask them if they have heard of it before you tell them about it (100% of the time the answer is no), and then hand over the 30-40 pages of papers Melisa has published on mercury and metals allergy. They still treat you like a kook but it is clear to all concerned it is because they are in denial, not because you are crazy (which is also unfortunately sometimes true!) In my case mercury had killed off all the memory cells which would normally react to it. It nuked part of my immune system.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Since we don't have a lab in the US that does this, where did you guys send yours? Did your doctor or dentist order it for you? How much did it cost (I know it depends on how many things you have tested)? What other things did you test for? Did you have the test done BEFORE amalgam removal or AFTER? Before or after any chelating? It also says that things that affect the immune system, like HC, will affect the results. I wonder why more people don't do this? If anybody else has done this, please respond. I can't remember hearing/reading what Andy thinks about this either, anybody else remember? Sorry about the 20 questions! But metal allergy helps explain why different people are affected differently by different amounts of exposure. So there are two aspects to being toxic, one is allergy/sensitivity, and the other would be the amount of exposure. So someone who is very sensitive, will have symptoms even from a small exposure. And someone who isn't as sensitive, can still be toxic just due to the amount of exposure they have had. But this is why it can vary so much.-----------Jackie http://www.melisa.org In frequent-dose-chelation Sherratt wrote: I also took the Melisa test.
