RE: Re: Heavy Metals Test Results from DAN! - High Aluminum - Very Long

[Guest guest]

interesting and thanks! Now let me share my whole foods store story with

you. So, I go in there in an effort to add 15% or more protein to his diet.

Sure I will continue to add fiber b/c fiber burns sugar. Anyway, I asked for

some help in finding a vegan protein shake and stevia flavoring. When I am

introduced to this very tall woman who is thin. I explained to her that I

have a son with developmental disorder and mentioned Apraxia/Dyspraxia. She

had heard of it but couldnot remember what neurotransmitters it affected.

So, I am impressed already. I explained that Charlie has a metabolic problem

and filled with Aluminum. Bottom line is that she shared with me that

(correct me if this is wrong) T4 and T3 are supposed to share with one

another: however, T4 cannot give to T3 if there is a heavy metal like

aluminum blocking it. She said once we get rid of the aluminum, we will see

a major improvement. I felt better. She gave me her docs name and I will see

him as well about this. We had a great conversation. She has had thryoid

problem all her life and has cured her self of chroins disease.

I will get this solved.

High Aluminum - Very Long

Bottom Line: You have to address diet more. Less packages and sadly,

gluten and soy and likely rice. Soy elimination may help the thyroid

thing...never know til you try. Gluten, same thing.

You are the ying to my yang. I did diet without fully addressing

supplements and you did supplements without fully addressing diet.

Given Charlie's fast progress I suspect he, like my guy, fits only

2/3 of Dr. 's observed syndrome. If so that makes us two of the

lucky ones.

Is the copper low too or just the copper is too much and the zinc too

little?

Change that water. It will remove a lot of exposure.

As for aluminum, I suspect to see high aluminum as well. Remember,

that is what came out in last 3 months, when you started detox. Good

sign!

This sucks but you caught it. Someone said something to me that

applies here: The only way out of depression is action. You are

acting and responsibly at that. Hang tough. If you need diet help

just email me off list. Also, consider IGG testing to get all

allergins but find out if the fish oil will alter results? You may

not have inflammation because the fish oil is masking allergen.

I am not sure about the water. cannot speak to that at the moment

[ ] Re: Heavy Metals Test Results from DAN! -

High Aluminum - Very Long

Thank you so much for spending the time writing your information on Charlie!

I look forward to reading about his progress and hope Jack will too after

his DAN! appt. next week. Can you speak more about water and why it is a

possible problem for Charlie?

[Guest guest]

hey wendy this was a hair test by DAN! It may be because it appears Charlie

has an underlying metabolic problem. Like his mother of course. My thyroid

panel shows that my T4 and T3 are fine: however, I have a goyder which is

the result of a thyroid problem. . The gal with Chrons Disease shared some

important info with me:

T4 gives to T3. T4 cannot give to T3 if there is a blockage. Blockages are

heavy metals in the system: Mercury and Aluminum. So this may just be the

monster that has my child. I am scheulding an appt with this gals metabolic

specialist on Monday. They do not take Insurance, of course. This guy has

written books.

So my plan is to work with DAN! to detox aluminum and remove it from the

daily environoment as much as possible. Once we get rid of aluminum his

metabolic problem should be better and he can process sugar better.

Therefore, not blocking the absorbson of zinc which is causing this

developmental delay. Vicious Circle.

I come from a heavy metal town, Flint, MI. I have fillings (one side removed

with the metal fillings), I drink too much DC from a can.

[ ] Re: Heavy Metals Test Results from DAN! -

High Aluminum - Very Long

Hi Colleen -

What testing was this?

It is interesting that the adrenals are so taxed. That can be

related to metals.

I am also intested in the " fast oxidizers " comment. Our daughter is

extremely thin. I will post more in a separate thread, but she is

having trouble gaining, and at the last visit was diagnosed failure

to thrive. They recommended we put her on a high fat, high protein,

no carbohydrate diet. They suspect, because her pyruvates tend to be

high, that she has trouble matabolizing sugar. She also has some

vitamin def, etc, though she eats ALOT. I wonder how they

tested/determined her oxidation rate. We had no issues with lipid

peroxidation, and our DAN! said the oxidation stress markers were

good, but we have not had thyroid tested. We have a call in to and

endocrinologist.

We too had high aluminum ( and cadmium and lead) on a provoked urine

test. Was this a blood, hair or urine? Was this done with a dr or

privately (we are in NY, so a lot of the private tests are not

available to us). Just curious. Our DAN! recommended aggressive

chealtion (alternating rounds of IV caEDTA and DMSA), but I am

having trouble pulling the trigger. Let me know.

I got it at Whole Foods. I use almond milk and get Naturally Flavored Stevia

Drops also from whole foods and mix it all together. Pretty Darn good.

Charlie got an additional 24+g of protein in 2 shakes.

I got the vanilla creme stevia and the dark chocolate stevia drops. I am

looking forward to learning and making more with Stevia.

Rice Protein

Vegan, Plain

80% Protein Content

Hypo-Allergenic

GMO & Gluten Free

NutriBiotic Rice Protein is a great tasting vegetable protein made from

non-genetically modified whole grain brown rice. Free of the common food

allergens normally associated with soy, milk, egg, wheat, corn, and yeast.

This highly soluble powdered formula mixes easily into water, juice, or

meals for an extra protein boost. Chemical processing is avoided by using a

purified water and natural enzyme procedure.

Low Temperature Enzyme Process

The whole brown rice is first ground into a fine flour. Pure filtered water

is then added, forming a thick slurry (called liquefaction) Natural enzymes

are added in at different stages to break down and separate the carbohydrate

and fiber from the protein portion of the whole grain. All processing

temperatures are kept below 90° F. The low temperature and chemical free

processing prevents denaturing of the amino acids. The final stage involves

filtering, drying and low temperature milling.

As a protein source, mix one or more servings into a glass of water or

juice, or add to your favorite recipes. Use one to three times daily or as

directed by a health-care professional.

Enzymatically Processed Rice Protein from Whole Grain Brown Rice.

Completely vegan. Contains no soy, milk, egg, yeast, corn, wheat, sugars, or

preservatives

Tell me more about this shake. Is it GFCFSF? I tried replacing agave

That makes me feel good. Because when I walked away from her I started to

tear up. I know this sounds way cheesee but that song " no one to blame (from

the 80s sings it) was playing and the tears flowed. I guess I

am a bit exhausted (like my child) and let it out only to gear up for the

I bought a counter top distiller for $200 this Christmas.... does the trick but

there is still the issue of chorine and other chemicals in the bathwater.

Mark has refused to drink anything but bottled/distilled water for a few years

now. I didn't initiate this, he did. He obviously knew, intrinsicly, that the

water was bad for him.

He went swimming to a public pool over the Christmas break with a friend. It

must have been 'loaded' with chemicals... either in the pool itself or in the

hot tub. Mark broke out into a red rash on his face and legs.... and I swear

that his legs were actually burned from the chlorine. His whole body hurt and

not even the epsom salt bath helped. The other boy had no issues or responses.

YUCK!

Thank you so much for spending the time writing your information on Charlie!

I look forward to reading about his progress and hope Jack will too after

his DAN! appt. next week. Can you speak more about water and why it is a

possible problem for Charlie?

[Guest guest]

Colleen,

You have a lot going on here. This is complicated but the upside is that there

is a lot you can do for improvement right? The worst thing for me for many,

many years was getting normal results (before I discovered the wonderful world

of metabolic testing & biomed) since that meant that there was nothing I could

do.... nothing to fix.

I second the no carbohydrate diet thing.... Mark's older and has been dealing

with this a lot longer so guess what? .... his sugar levels after a 12 hour

fast are pretty high, not diabetic but much to high to be comfortable with.

After cutting out all of the artificial sugars already, what is left?

Carbohydrates. Jeepers.

Mark's thyroid testing came back okay. We still wait for iron and b12.

I suspect that our children's bodies are under such oxidative stress due to the

heavy metals that they just begin to break down prematurely. I mean, it seems

like a lot of this stuff is 'old age' ailments, not issues you would see in

youngsters! More and more I become convinced that we must get the metals out

before every system in our children's bodies are destroyed.

Chelation used to scare me but when I see the trouble that is happening inside

my son.... I say, bring it on and get that garbage out of my child!

Colleen...

I posted before on glutathione. Check Charlies sulphate levels, are they low on

the tests? Or, try him on an epsom salts bath and see how he fairs. I say this

because if he responds well to sulfery stuff then you should begin to supplement

with glutathione as it helps to relieve oxidative stress in a major way. But

some of the kids regress with glutathione and the sulfery products so caution is

required and you need to go low and slow.

BUT... glutathione is a MAJOR antioxident in the body. It is the bodies method

of keeping us healthy and vital. For instance, cancer patients will be low in

glutathione, WHY, because the low glutathione allows the outside invaders in.

Good glutathione levels = good health. We are also supplementing with glycine

which the body uses to make glutathione.

Mark has 'late stage' glutathione deficiency which means he has been struggling

for a long, long time. His body has to work 20 times harder to fight bad guys.

There is a lot of contraversy about glutathione and how best to administer it so

to get the body to absorb it. I have found that the oral glutathione does work

well but you need to get the 500 mg capsule and not play around with the 'small

stuff'. Glutathione is tough to absorb but when you get it in, there is a true

difference in function. I see a real difference in Mark when he is off the

glutathione. He is more fatigued and less alert. Another idea for

supplementation is NAC or N-acetyl-cystiene which helps the body to manufacture

glutathione.

Now.... Charlie may be different since he is an 'immune function' kid.....SO....

With regards to immune deficiency and thyroid function, ask your DAN doctor or

research the Mito Cocktail that many are using successfully with their kids. A

Mito Cocktail really does boost the immune system. I also use the drink Power 4

by Genesis for Mark. He gets a shot glass in the mornings if I see that he is

down and has low energy. It perks him right up.

Have you watched any of the webcasts on www.autism.com? I have found them an

absolute necessity to develop a good understanding of all of the biomed stuff.

In addition, go to the site of the labratory that did your testing. They will

often have little 'courses' and lectures on their sites that help you interpret

your labs and relate to the conditions seen. This was what I was able to do

with Mark's labs and although it was a case of a 52 year old lady with chronic

fatigue.... I learned a lot about each section of my lab, what all of the

indicators meant and how to look at the results intelligently.

Also at Autism.com there is a publication called " Summary of Biomedical

Treatments for Autism " that is worth printing out if you haven't read it

already. It is at http://autism.asu.edu/Additional/Summarybiomed07.pdf

I go next week back to the environmental doc for a 'diet lesson'. He wants to

put Mark on a very specific diet that may have some of the nasties that I have

been avoiding ie, not as organic as I would like but... to lower his glycemic

index and to prevent him from getting diabetes. So, it will be another change.

sigh.

Gotta run, the Mister just got up one more time.... he is having trouble falling

asleep. At 11:30pm on a school night, this is no good... time to take out the

melatonin.

[sPAM][ ] Re: Heavy Metals Test Results from DAN! -

High Aluminum - Very Long

Hi Colleen -

What testing was this?

It is interesting that the adrenals are so taxed. That can be

related to metals.

I am also intested in the " fast oxidizers " comment. Our daughter is

extremely thin. I will post more in a separate thread, but she is

having trouble gaining, and at the last visit was diagnosed failure

to thrive. They recommended we put her on a high fat, high protein,

no carbohydrate diet. They suspect, because her pyruvates tend to be

high, that she has trouble matabolizing sugar. She also has some

vitamin def, etc, though she eats ALOT. I wonder how they

tested/determined her oxidation rate. We had no issues with lipid

peroxidation, and our DAN! said the oxidation stress markers were

good, but we have not had thyroid tested. We have a call in to and

endocrinologist.

We too had high aluminum ( and cadmium and lead) on a provoked urine

test. Was this a blood, hair or urine? Was this done with a dr or

privately (we are in NY, so a lot of the private tests are not

available to us). Just curious. Our DAN! recommended aggressive

chealtion (alternating rounds of IV caEDTA and DMSA), but I am

having trouble pulling the trigger. Let me know.

Do you have a link for the $80 whole house filter? They did something to

How did you get a distiller to get fluorine out for under $2500? The

only NSF certified one for that that I found was $2500 so I bought

the $300 ro filter.

Most of the bad stuff in the house/bath water aside from fluoride can

be reduced by 95% with an $80 whole house filter. They are big on

chlorinating here so that was $ well spent.

Liz,

Just talked to my DAN! Going Thurs at 4 PM. So will have more to share

after. Anyway, her plan of action is to of course, raise zinc because this

is leading to so many of the mineral depletion and of course immune system

issues.

In the meantime, we are going to start to give him ionized minerals that

dont go through the digestive system.

Anyone done this?

Janice,

I am so very appreciative of your taking the time to answer this. Currently,

I give him an epsom salt bath 2x per week or so - when I think he needs it.

Also wash him daily with vegetable based soap with camomile. Then I use the

Oxi cell Glutatione & S,O.D anti-oxident cream. Applied to vasular areas.

I am very interested in Glutatione, as I have read in your posts. Some of

his homeopatic minerals we used to detox the kidney had Glutatione in it.

As for my approach. I am positive that we have found some good stuff to

tackle in this tissue & mineral analysis completed by hair sample. I spoke

with my DAN! today and we are going to start ioinzed minerals on Thursday.

They will bypass the digestive system and go straight to his system. Then

begin detox on the Aluminum with Homeopathics. She believes it is not

primarly the vaccines but the environment. She said she is not surprised by

this, as she see so much aluminum in kiddos.

We are going to start there on Thursday and get our game plan ironed out for

next steps. She mentioned a Tridad urine test by metametrix.

The Zinc issue is leading to so much of this mineral deficiency.

In the meantime, throwing out pots and pans and items that scare me. I am

making an appt with Dr. Mark Starr - goole him. He is big on metabolic

outside of the box stuff. Apparently he had some metabolic issues himself

and solved them himself. Now that is my kind of doc.

The nebulizer is an interesting piece and I am going to bring that up. You

are a godsend! Thanks.

Colleen,

So what do you do? A footbath.... transdermal cream? Or the other point of

entry would be to inhale the minerals..... (like a nebulizer)

I have heard of kids getting nebulized glutathione (I tend to pay attention

to GSH stories) with good success on other boards..... I'm sure that if you

can do it with that, you can do it with other nutrients as well.

How do you think she will approach this?

I bought a Sears Countertop Distiller for $199.00. I think they run for about

$119 in the US. They get great reviews and take out about 95% of the junk from

the drinking water. It only makes about a jug at a time but it works for me. I

run it during the day when the kids are at school and then again at night when

they sleep.

It has pretty good reviews:

category=Water%20Purifiers

Someday I'll get a point of entry water system but that is way down the road.

Right now I'm busy paying for therapy, saving for college & cars, paying for

biomend. Next on the wish list is an infared sauna and then after that a weight

room to turn my boy's week girlie-muscles into strong 'Arnold type' man-muscles!

Dyspraxia ain't cheap!

Colleen,

So what do you do? A footbath.... transdermal cream? Or the other point of

entry would be to inhale the minerals..... (like a nebulizer)

I have heard of kids getting nebulized glutathione (I tend to pay attention to

GSH stories) with good success on other boards..... I'm sure that if you can do

it with that, you can do it with other nutrients as well.

How do you think she will approach this?

,

Thanks so much for taking the time to share this wonderful information. My

son's DAN! believes that there is more mercury in him than shows up on the

hair analysis.

Please stay around for more questions. This is good stuff.

Thanks,

Colleen

Mother of Charlie 30 months

[ ] Re: Heavy Metals Test Results from DAN! -

High Aluminum - Very Long

WOW. I've been a bit out of touch but I wanted to chime in a bit

because i'm down the road a bit further but.. your kids' hair

analysis is a mirror image of my son's, he is now 5.

I'm going to try to be brief.

I started on the list when my boy was 3.6 yrs (june 06)- the point

when I said enough is enough w/mainstream " wait, sorry about your

luck and here is your ticket to life long special ed " . This was also

the time when appeared on the list, Thank You !

Back then, no one wanted to openly talk about TOXICITY. And all of

the apraxia / dyspraxia stuff is really related to the FACT that our

kids are TOXIC. As I was figuring this thing out, I was mad as he**

that is was right in our face and if we mention it openly we got

repremanded (oh, yes, i got a bit of a lashing). So, mothers where

sharing the real goods off the list. So happy to see that nonesense

has ended.

THANKS to all of you new Mom worriors who simply won't stand for it!

JANICE!!! a red carpet surly waiting for you at the ol' golden

gates.

Anyway, my intention is to bring you all to your/my kid at 5. I

personally think the chain of command is a waste of time and money.

Go straight to an ACTIVE!!!! DAN! Dr. Don't think for a second that

he/she needs to be anywhere near your home. Not necessary at all...

you need the BIGGEST AND BRIGHTEST NOW! While this journey is a

marathon rather than a race... you are against the clock. I like

Neubrander, Usman, Rossignal, Stoller, Green, McCandliss, Bock,

Bradstreet, there are plenty of others but be aware... there are

stinkers. And while you may like your chosen Dr.'s compassionate,

kind charasmatic ways... if you get an inkling (mommy instinct) that

your kid is stagnating,you are not connecting, any " feeling " ... move

on. You simply keep/take all your current labs down the road. Fresh

eyes can really propel your kid forward. And, get used to all of this

being out of pocket, it's just the way it is.

First, it is critical to stablize the kid. MUST DO the diet

regardless of test results. In fact, I didnt bother proving a gluten

intolerance or milk intolerance... I just did it. Heal the gut,

clear the yeast, face down the constant bacteria that is causing your

kids behaviors. These kids often have the immune system of an AIDS

patient.

Supplements - I did a full out biomedical supplement program which

has over time become tailored and specific to his needs. At first,

he was a wreck (although, I still laugh how his Ped had nothing to

say about the initial labs I shared with him). A 3 year old with

cholesterol of a 50 year old doesn't raise any flags? Come on,

that's an easy one!

While I did the hair analysis w/ 2 different labs, and urine test w/

dd, the test that gave me the clearest view of my son (and myself)

mercury and to my surprise lead, pcb's pesticides... the French lab -

Urine Porphyrine test - there is an parent interpretation paper on

chelatingkids2 group files. You can order, do and interpret

the test yourself. Although, any real good up to date DAN should

want this test. This is the current gold standard in getting the

best measurement of your kids' toxicity.

Another avenue I highly recommend is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Get

the book The Oxygen Revolution - Harsch. There are also a few

good HBOT lists on . Join them and research by going backward,

reading posts...your questions will be no different than the many who

came before you.

In September, we did 40 dives of hard chamber 100% oxygen at a

facility. The results were nothing short of AMAZING! Everyones

experience/outcome is going to be different. In my sons case, he no

longer need the diet, bam! His overall health - he is a completely

different child. Hyperbaric oxygen is expensive but look into it!

And, when you do you will see that there is a controversy hard vs

soft. Hard w/ 100% oxygen is the biggest bang for your buck. I only

recommend the hard chamber - while their is a soft chamber

manufacturer who is marketing hard, very convincing but keep your

antenna up.

My son has a ways to go. He is far more toxic than I originally

thaught but he is improving. We are now working on a more aggressive

chelation protocal with one of the top Dr.s in this field in the

country.

Never give up. Go with your GUT!

HTH... I am so impressed with this list, what a wonderful evolution!

Viva la worrior Mommy!
