Re: Hair Analysis Question

[Guest guest]

Hey, Rosie, 's right about the test. It can be very accurate,

but not in the way you think. Mercury skews the other metals. Don't

be surprised if you get some weird results, high copper and arsenic

being pretty common. Try to get the nurse to send you a copy of the

results (which you need for the consult anyway), then go to the yahoo

group autism-mercury and look under " files " for the " counting rules "

to understand how to interpret the test results. If still confused,

post the results and the parent experts on the list will explain

all. Is Kratzinel your ped? If so, he'll know about the skewed

results of these tests and will explain, too. (But that's a long

time to wait for an answer, I know.)

IMHO, join autism-mercury for the most up-to-date discussions of this

issue (with all viewpoints represented, often in a somewhat heated

fashion). You will also find the DAN protocol under " files " , which

is probably the method Kratzinel will follow. Chelation is an

extraordinary experience for us, but the best results, like with

gfcf, come from being an informed parent.

No, I can't. I found it by going to yahoo groups home and did a

search for autism-mercury and up it popped. I think I did that by

going to www.groups.yahoo.com and entering the search.

If you're feeling experiemtanl, try www.groups.yahoo.com/group/autism-

mercury/ but I can't guarantee it!
