Re: My hair test results - opinions?

[Guest guest]

Joni,

Yes, your test doesn't look normal, although doesn't meet the

counting rules. A trial of chelation makes sense to me. You

need to remove amalgams first - 4 days after removal you can

start chelating.

You may be able to get more improvement in your symptoms if you can

find the right supplements. Check your current supplementation

against Andy's recommendations in Amalgam Illness.

Lithium is good for both lyme and mercury, so I would definitely try

it. 5 mg lithium orotate is a good dose to start.

Many of us have adrenal and thyroid problems. Anxiety and chronic

lyme infection say to me that you need adrenal support, at least.

It is important to realize thta no test is a perfect measurement of what is

going on inside a

person, and that any diet or vitamin intervention you are using tends to make

the test look

more normal.

If you look on page 26 of the hair test book

www.noamalgam.com/hairtestbook.html

you'll see this test scores as " unusual. " Not normal, not definitively abnormal.

Might mean

something, might not. Also the low toxics are pretty unusual in a normal test.

There

should be SOME level of them.

You could argue the test either way, but given what you describe as symptoms a

mercury

problem seems reasonably likely.
