Re: Re: Molybdenum, uric acid connection

[Guest guest]

I have never noticed it making me sleepy. But your post about only tolerating a

small dose reminded me that I forgot to comment on the uric acid connection, and

totally spaced this out in my earlier discussions about this! Duh!

Anyway, when I mentioned my concern to that maybe I 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.

So here are the links to the interview, which can be found in the 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

Quoting Andy Cutler, from page 10 of the above interview.

" Serum uric acid is very, very helpful. It tends to go low with

most heavy metals, but high with lead. So when you have someone with

mercury, you'll typically see it below 4 [mg/dL]; they'll feel a lot better if

you

give them a bunch of molybdenum. If they have some lead, you'll see it up

above 6 - it may not be frankly high but then you don't want to give them

molybdenum, you want to suspect lead and make sure you use DMSA. "

Hello All, I tried 30mcg of Molybdenum during day and it made me very

sleepy. You guys are talking about 1000mcg or more, do you get sleepy

too or its me having a problem with MO. Any suggestions....

Thanks in advance!!!

consult with and asked her about my molybdenum, because

it is now red high on my hair test, and I have been taking high doses

of it, 1000mcg a day for probably two years now, so was concerned

maybe I have taken too much. She told me to keep taking it, because

she said that " everyone " is molybdenum deficient, and that the ranges

for the DDI hair test for molybdenum is based on this, so the ranges

are actually too low. So I thought that was very

interesting.---------Jackie
