Re: Re: Molybdenum, uric acid connection

[Guest guest]

Hi Kris. Have you ever had your uric acid levels tested, or did mention

this? See my other post about this, in this thread. If people do start having

this tested, it would be interesting to see the results and talk about it in the

group.

And yes I use the Thorne brand molybdenum, 1000mcg per capsule, and it is

available from some online vendors, such as Naturamart.com and

illnessisoptional.com ----------Jackie

told me to take 1000 mcg molybdenum with each meal, for a total

of 3000 per day. I don't think I notice any effect (altho perhaps my

MCS is slightly better), because I've always taken some, and because

my bigger problem is adrenal -- I'm still trying to figure out a

treatment while being conservative with cortisol. But my brother said

he began feeling poorly recenlty and determined it was because he'd

run out of molybdenum.

Thorne (from ) makes a 1000 mg size.

you notice a difference in taking it? What symptoms does it help?

I'm actually wondering if I might benefit from taking a higher dose

like you, because I do seem to need high doses of some things.---------

Thank you so very much for your input!!!! Few years ago my hair

analysis showed high level of Urea or Uric acid and I still remember

my doctor comments, " Don't know why so many chemically sensitive

people have high levels of this... "

---------Hi Sunny. Hair tests don't show uric acid. Below, Andy says it

should be *serum* uric acid test, which means blood. So I think you're mistaken

on which type of test it was from.--------Jackie

---------I may have confused you, because I was talking about my molybdenum

levels on my hair test, and then started talking about uric acid levels in

regards to this too. Evidentally, Andy says testing serum uric acid is the way

to determine whether you need high levels of molybdenum or not.-------Jackie

My current physician uses ARL lab for hair analysis, Is it OK to use it?

---------The preferred hair test here is Doctors Data.--------Jackie

How can I order DD hair kit? Do I need a doctor to order this?

---------No. You can order a hair test without a doctor through Direct Labs,

but you want the DDI Hair *Elements* test. There should be info about how to do

a hair test in the links and files section. You get a discount if you mention

the Autism-Mercury group or Moria's website.-----------Jackie

Thanks in adavnce!!!

Regards,

Sunny

tolerating a small dose reminded me that I forgot to comment on the

discussions about this! Duh!

have now taken too much molybdenum, she mentioned that the next time I

have lab work done, that we can test my uric acid levels, which

evidentally has some correlation to molybdenum levels/needs. And Andy

also talks about this in the Mark Schauss interview, when he talks

about testing.

Links section of our group, and we also now have it in pdf format in

the Files section, thanks to Ross and for getting this

done! And I copied the part where Andy talks about uric acid levels

and molybdenum, and there relationship to mercury and lead.

> So Sunny, I'm wondering if you have a lead problem, and it would

probably be good to get your uric acid levels tested. And this might

be something you could get your regular doctor to do, because uric

acid is related to gout, and is something they will test. And just a

sidenote, in HTI, And does say that gout is common with lead

poisoning. And so, according to this, molybdenum *isn't* good for

everyone, but probably for alot of us, and the uric acid test is one

way of determining this.-------Jackie
