Re: Received hair test-normal levels-what to do?

[Guest guest]

- I just answered this in my previous post. Perhaps I'll also include the

list of standard supps for you:

B50 or B100 once or twice /d

Buffered C, 4g/d

Mg, 100mg 4x/d and increase to 200 in a few weeks

Avoid the oxide form, it's not absorbable.

Magnesium citrate, malate, aspartate, or amino acid chelate are best.

Mg Supps is done by taking 100-200mg (adult) with each meal and possibly at

bedtime. The amount used is adjusted to the max level that is not laxative.

Ca should also be given so the ratio of Ca to Mg intake from all sources

(food & pills) is somewhere between 1:2 and 2:1.

Vit E, 400-1000IU/d

CoQ10, 75-200mg/d

Zinc, 20mg + 1mg/lb

Flax Oil, 10+g/d (1-2 tbsp) or CLO (1/2 - 1 tbsp)

Borage oil, 1+g/d (1-2 tsp)

Milk thistle, 1-2 cap/meal

Folic acid, 400-800mcg/d

Make sure any selenium is in some form like selenomethionine or selenium yeast.

AIp. 162: 50-300mcg a day total.

Try Lecithin, Choline & B12 to see how you respond.

Dave.

Hi all,

I have been chelating (dmsa 25 mg) for 8 wks and just received my hair

analysis taken 1 weeks ago.

It does not meet any of the counting rules.

It does not show high Mercury.

I just posted it to the livingnetwork address.

I had 10-12 amalgams for 10 to 25 years, the last of which was removed

2 months ago.

I had a dmps challenge test which did show moderately elevated

mercury, lead, aluminum, nickel 4 months ago. (some dental metal was

still in my mouth)

I have had extreme fatigue, decreased mental functioning, poor memory

for 19 yrs.

I have been to more than 20 doctors, clinics. None could find out why.

I thought it HAD to have mercury poisoning because I had many fillings

in my mouth for so long.

The hair test doesn't back that up.

And I have been chelating for 2 months - the only effect from which

has been increased fatigue.

I would like to keep chelating with ALA & dmsa for a few more months

just to be sure, but I don't want to be trying to fix something that

is not there.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated -
