The Melisa test determines if you are " allergic, " or immune reactive, to various

metals.

This is completely different and not related to toxicity.

The hair test checks for toxicity.

Those with a negative hair test who are toxic will not as a rule show up

reactive on the

Melisa test.

The Melisa people blur these lines, which sells tests for them, but really they

are entirely

different things.

If you have some kind of immune process going on and not really signs of

toxicity, it

might make sense to check if some metal is causing it (this is acutally how

beryllium kills

people), but if there are toxicity like issues, or a positive hair test, then

the information in

the Melisa test is pretty irrelevant and also doesn't correlate with the hair

test results, or

with who responds to chelation.

> Thanks Andy for responding, and one more question down below. And since I got

your

attention, what do you think of the Melisa Test for metal allergy? Have you had

the

opportunity to see many people who have done both, the Melisa Test and a hair

test? I'm

curious if they follow suit, or do some people have low body burdens and don't

meet the

counting rules, but have a high reactivity to mercury on the Melisa test? Would

their

symptoms be any different? If someone didn't meet the counting rules, but still

suspected

mercury, would this be a reasonable test to do? Would those of us who do meet

the

counting rules, would we show reactivity to mercury on a Melisa Test? Or is this

two

separate things, allergy/reactivity and toxicity/body burden? (Sorry so many

questions, I

like to pick your brain when I get a chance!) Thanks-----Jackie

The typical symptoms of mercury toxicity are vast -- endocrine

irregularities, brain fog, fatigue, etc -- as described in detail in

Amalgam Illness. But what possible symptoms could manifest for

someone with strictly a mercury allergy? I'm guessing many of the

symptoms would overlap, but perhaps the overlap would only include

those symptoms related to immune system dysfunction(?). Are there any

known classic mercury allergy signs and symptoms -- e.g., inflammation

of the gums -- that would suggest mercury allergy as opposed to

mercury toxicity?

I'm sure many people with allergy probably also have toxicity, but

some may have only allergy. And perhaps the treatment of the

allergy-only camp might need to be different. Instead of focusing on

removing every last bit of Hg from their system (an impossibility

given we are exposed to trace amounts in our environment), perhaps a

technique such as NAET (Natural Allergy Elimination Technique) would

be more appropriate. Any reason to think that NAET could eliminate

the immune system's overreaction to trace amounts of Hg or other toxic

metals?

Thanks,

Darren
