Hair Analysis Please (Number 125) ?

[Guest guest]

Hey All-

I have posted my most recent hair test results, in hopes someone can

help interrupt the elements for me. I seem to be all over the place.

I'm not sure if this is common with mercury toxicity?

I'm Hair test number 125 at

http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/hairtest.html

I have chelated with oral DMPS for about 5 months, using not quite

Andy's protocol (DMPS every 12 hours for three day rounds). After

learning more a month ago, I am now taking chelaters more often and

at present using DMSA over DMPS. The switch from DMPS to DMSA was

mostly economical, because it frees me from having to rely on my ND.

Also started adding ALA to the chelation a few weeks ago, using

proper techniques.

For a quick background, most of my symptoms are either fatigue,

thyroid, energy related, or neurological. I am 30 years old, male,

70kgs/155lbs. I was fit until the mercury symptoms blew up about 1

1/2 years ago, now I struggle. I am in Auckland, New Zealand, but

lived in the US until 3 years ago.

I suspect I am either hypo-thyroid or 's syndrome and/or hypo-

adrenal. I don't take anything for either one - that seems to be the

most recent issue I have learned about and am going to try to address.

My neuro symptoms are all in my head (eye pain, vision problems, TMJ

problems, sinus inflammation, ear tube pains, etc) and then the

typical brain fog most mercury people have.

My mercury exposure was gradual environmental/dental until about 1

1/2 years ago, when things blew up after I had 3 vaccines at the same

time (Flu, Tetanus, Hep- and at the same time had a bad eye

infection which I took eye drops that contained Phynelmercuric

Nitrate (sp?) all the time for a few weeks - that's why I ended up

with so many eye/sinus/TMJ problems. I had my only amagam removed 6

months ago, before I took any DMPS.

Interestingly the hair results don't show high mercury, but I read

most autistic kids don't show high mercury either (read that

in " Evidence of Harm " ). Something about the people who can't excrete

mercury don't show mercury in their hair.

For supplements, the main thing I take is Thorne's Basic Detox. It

contains low to medium amounts of almost everything. In addition, I

take: Zinc, Magnesium, B complex, Vit C, Vit A, Fish oils, plus a

bunch of other herbal stuff.

Anyway, I got the results back from DD and I though they looked

intersting, but I can't read enough into them to really know.

If anyone is a guro at reading results and want to have a look, it

would be appreciated.

Cheers- Ed

Your hair test doesn't meet the counting rules, but it has an

" all low " appearance, ie the elements are skewed to the left side

and this is a sign that mineral transport is deranged. Some of your

toxic elements are very low and this is not normal either.

People with your type of hair test often benefit from things

to improve digestion, such as enzymes and betaine hcl.

I encourage you to pursue this. Thyroid hormone support can help

a lot. Be sure to test and treat adrenal function first.

Exactly. Chelation will help.

Last I checked, Thorne Basic Detox Nutrients contain ALA. If you

use this you must take it on rounds only, and according to Andy's

protocol, dosing at the half life. I recommend not using this

product. It also has MSM and a lot of sulfury things that many

people do not tolerate.
