Re: Hair tests results - mle_ii - Neutrophils

[Guest guest]

Ok, a recent post about neutrophils had me looking in the archive. It

appears that DMSA can lower neutrophils. Well I'm already low, and

given I have bacterial overgrowth I'm wondering if it might be bad to

chelate.

Why does DMSA cause neutrophils to go lower?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks . I'm really thinking that the mercury is the issue.

I went into the GI dr last week and requested another CBC. Wanted

one done just before chelation starts in January. And I was really

suprised at what I saw. I was low in neutrophils before, but now I'm

even lower.

ABS NEUT AUTO Range 2-7.3 K/uL

8/15/2007 2.4

12/19/2007 1.7

1.5 is considered mild Neutropenia

Yikes! At least my Liver enzyme tests are in a more normal range.

They were slightly elevated before.
