Hi Dave-

Thanks so much for your help with this. Though I'm going to visit

week after next, I was eager to get a read on my test (even though

it's almost 4 years old).

>> There are at least a couple of errors (noted below).

>> I count 17 low, 1 right on the mean, and 1 borderline. This meets the

counting rules for an all low pattern. Your arsenic is also over the

95th percentile, and it is common to accumulate arsenic in the case of

mercury intoxication.

>> Even mild elevations in lead, as you have here, are significant.

---------- I appreciate the clarification. I have both books but haven't had

a chance to really study them (not to mention the brain fog and memory

issues).

>> Your cobolt is red low, so B12 might help.

----------- This one is interesting because I have taken methyl cobalamin (1

mg sublingual per day) for many years. I guess something's eating it up.

>> Ca/P indicates a fast oxidizer, so you may want to consider a high fat

diet and digestive enzymes might help. (Andy also suggests that fast

oxidizers would tend to show less toxicity than is present, consistent

with the all low presentation.)

--------- I already suspected that I was a fast oxidizer but didn't know it

would affect the way mercury showed up in a hair test until recently reading

comments in another message.

>> Surprisingly, I don't see any obvious signs of adrenal fatigue in your

hair test.

--------- Also very interesting because I always thought I had low adrenal

function (and have most of the signs of low adrenal function listed on Dr.

Rind's web site).

>> K/Ca is quite low, which might indicate a low thyroid. Have you tried

taking your temperature? Are you cold in the AM?

---------- I tend to feel too warm, if anything, but my temp does run a

little low. Actually I don't tolerate temperature extremes in either

direction but heat is much worse for me.

>>Your symptoms are also consistent with mercury, arsenic and possibly

lead tox (gee, you're like me!

>> So, assuming that you are now sure that all the amalgam is out, _even

under crowns_, then you can try out chelation on a proper protocol. In

this case, you will want to include DMSA for at least 3 days per month,

over a period of many years (3, at least), to deal with the lead; but

ALA is what you'll need for the mercury.

--------- I still have one amalgam and need to have my crowns checked (I

have several). I'll probably take a trip to one of the Huggins trained

dentists south of the border after I return from seeing .

>> You should also try an elimination diet, if you have not done it. You

may be surprised to find other food intolerances that you have not

suspected, and you'll need to find out if restricting or increasing

sulfur in your diet might be a good idea or not. There are a lot of

other things that you may be able to do to help with your long list of

symptoms, so I'd suggest beginning to read on this and the A-M list.

--------- I think you're right on about the diet factor, though it's very

difficult with chronic fatigue and all the rest (moderately severe fatigue,

low motivation, cravings, etc). I'm sure some of my less obvious food

intolerances are causing problems, and I haven't been eating as well as I

should lately. I eat mostly good, whole food and no trans fats, etc, but

there's still quite a bit of room for improvement. I'm guessing I'll be

having some food allergy testing along with everything else.

Thanks again for all your input.
