looks like the supplementing is helping him excrete stuff, by the

higher toxic metals in the second hair test. Is he doing/feeling

better? Does he show any signs of adrenal fatigue/stress? His hair

test might somewhat point to that. You might want to consider some

adrenal support, and maybe that has something to do with the thyroid

numbers also. I think the higher thyroid numbers could be stressing

his adrenals. (Does that make sense to others?)

In answer to the above we had done 1-2 rounds of DMSA and about 5

months of supps between the 2 tests but what I'm not sure about due

to my lack of knowledge is: Even though his 1st test does'nt meet the

counting rules to my inexperienced eye they do seem suspicious

especially as aluminium, antimony and tin are quite raised so

therefore if he is mercury toxic does this mean that the toxic levels

and essential elements are fairly irrelevant due to deranged mineral

transportation or are the supps making a difference?

----------Not that I'm an expert either, but it certainly does appear that the

supps are making a difference. What it looks like to me, it is allowing his

body to be able to start dumping the metals. As you said, his first hair test

is more scattered and does look suspicious, although not quite meeting the

counting rules. The essential elements are much more normal looking in his

second hair test, so I believe Andy says in this case, then the toxic elements

more accurately reflect what's going on. So I think what you are doing is

working, and is allowing him to dump the metals. So I would continue with the

supps and chelation, and retest periodically, and hopefully in time those toxic

elements will come down. ------------Jackie

His Na/mg was 42:1 (ref range 1-5) and he does fit the profile for

high adrenaline (p112 HTI).

----------That ratio has improved alot on his second hair test (5.8 now).

Have you been doing any adrenal support? And have you seen improvement in

symptoms? ------------Jackie

His behaviours can be very on and off, days of screaming and tantrums

and days of not too bad at all which makes me wonder about yeast but

( I'm probably wrong) if he had yeast would'nt he be tantrumming non-

stop?

------------I don't know. This is where the parents on Autism-Mercury would

probably be more helpful. Could something in his diet be bringing on these bad

days, either by feeding yeast, or possibly a food allergy/reaction? Maybe

sulfur foods or phenols/salicylates (things requiring sulfation?) or others?

Have you checked out the How to pick a Diet file written by

Andy?----------Jackie

I am truly grateful for any replies

------------Not sure how much help I am, especially after I botched the

thyroid thing, and thankfully Andy caught that! I'm really not an expert in any

of this, just trying to learn like the rest of us, and certainly not an expert

when it comes to the kids. But I see improvements in the second hair test, so I

think you're on the right track. Maybe look into the food/diet stuff, and maybe

that will help with his symptoms. Also, do you ever give him epsom salt baths?

They may be helpful and relaxing. Good luck---------Jackie
