Re: My first hair test - Marcia

[Guest guest]

Here is my take on the hair test:

Marcia.

4 red + I & Zn borderline ==> one counting rule.

12 outside of red zone ==> second counting rule.

9 high (but there is a tendency to an all low pattern).

Very high probability of mercury toxicity.

Silver is red high - This might be relevant, but it might not. It could just

be an artefact of the deranged minerals. Check the following:

Look for Sources & remove: colloidal silver,

silver nitrate sticks /silver nitrate for other med use,

silver protein & photographic chemicals.

Rigorously exclude hydrogenated fats.

If there is emotional instability,

use carnosine and mood stabilizing meds.

Sometimes a ketogenic diet / Atkins bring relief.

(Carnitine or acetyl-l-carnitine

can make such diets more comfortable.)

Uranium elevation is probably not significant. It might just be a matter of

where you live in the country, or not relevant at all given the deranged

minerals.

Mg is yellow high ==> Take Magnesium & Taurine (below)

Na/K fine

K/Ca = .018, low.

<<Test Thyroid>>

Doctors don't know how to do this.

Test _free_ T3, _free_ T4, TSH & Antibodies.

Then interpret using Andy's AI/appendix.

Na/Mg = 0.5 ==> insufficient adrenaline.

The following can improve mood & energy:

Give Tyrosine/Phenylalanine

(red meat or supplement)

Give mehtylation support:

TMG (.5-2g early in day),

Folic or Folinic acid (.4-1.2mg, 4x/d) &

B12 (several mg/d)

NB! Too much methl donors can cause anger,

aggression and lack of motivation.

Try B6.

Re B6 - It doesn't agree with everyone.

Try 100-250mg 3-4x/d (with meals and at bed-time).

If it works, it's worth experimenting with amounts.

If not, don't jack it up.

If > 500mg 4x/day can get tingling & numbness in hands & feet.

If happens, stop and it will cease in a few days.

You can begin using the standard supplements (below) and then consider

chelation on a physiologicall appropriate protocol. Make _absolutely sure_ you

have no more amalgam in your mouth before using DMSA every 4 hours, starting at

1/8 mg per lb bodyweight. As long as you have had your last mercury exposure >

3 months ago, then you can use ALA at the same dose, taking it every 3 hours.

This means _at night also_.

Here are the supps:

B50 or B100 once or twice /d

Buffered C, 4g/d or as much as you can take without causing loose

stools. For child, scale to weight, but also go to bowel tolerance.

Mag, 100mg 4x/d & increase to 200 in a few weeks

Take with each meal and possibly at bedtime.

Adjust to the max level that is not laxative.

If it's working but you can't get enough in, try Taurine, 0.5-1g with

meals

(Adult doses, scale to weight for child)

Avoid oxide form, take citrate, malate, aspartate, or amino acid chelate.

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

from all sources (food & pills) is somewhere between 1:2 & 2:1.

Vit E, 1600IU/d (adult, scale to weight.)

CoQ10, 75-200mg/d (adult, scale to weight.)

Zinc Picollinate, 20mg + 1mg/lb-bodyweight

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 (adult, scale to weight.)

Folic acid, 400-800mcg/d (adult, scale to weight.)

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

yeast. Take 50-300mcg a day total (adult)

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

Good luck,

Dave.

Hello,

Ok, Marcia here,I'm trying this again. Thanks to and Dean for helping me

get my hair test results posted! And also thanks to all of you who give input

on them, its greatly appreciated.

Dean posted my hair test results, its number 182.

http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/hairtest.html

I think the most alarming thing I saw was the elevated uranium! Have no idea

why, have none of the exposures listed in the test as possible sources, could

it have been in those cheap black metal crowns I had on for about 25 years? It

says symptoms are fatigue and poor immune system (that fits) and there is no

chelator of it for tissues (if caught in the blood there is one).

Also Silver was completely off the chart, is that from the crowns I've had? I

dont' use colloidal or hair products other than simple shampoo. My minerals

seem to be mostly high or low. Will type the list below. I would appreciate any

input, insights, comments or anything from those more experienced, I know

nothing about interpreting these tests. And thanks for your help!

..

This is my background:

1) What are your current symptoms and health history?

I started having amalgams (loads of them) placed as a young child, around 11

they root canaled two damaged teeth that died and put stainless pins in them,

in my 30's had numerous crowns and then a bridge over two root canaled teeth. I

had tonsil infections all my years growing up and mono and other bad viral type

infections as I got older, at 28 got CFS and could no longer recover, then a

few more years added the fibromyalgia (about the time the crowns were going

on). Some of the crowns were a blackish very toxic looking metal, the bridge

was a cheap metal I was allergic too which caused sores and jaw probs in my

mouth for 12 yrs until I could afford to have that removed. I've been working

the last 4 yrs on getting all my dental redone, I had about 16 merc fillings

replaced, the bad fitting bridge removed and the two dead root canaled teeth

under it removed, one had a merc filling placed in that root canal leaking like

a sieve, so it was in 40+ yrs (I'm almost 58 now), the ot her had bad infection

in it which had rotted off the stainless pin in it (also 40+ yrs in place). New

bridge put on, high noble gold with porcelain over it. This year I had those 3

toxic metal crowns removed and they all had merc fillings underneath, loads of

it. Replaced those with high noble gold with porcelain over it. I've had bad

problems with so many different metals/galvanic currents with too many metals

upon metals and next to other metals. I have 3 crowns left to go to replace,

all porcelain or gold, these are less likely to have mercury under them but we

all know there is a chance. My fillings now are all composites.

I don't know if my Mother had mercury in her mouth, she was born in 09, passed

about 13 yrs ago, had false teeth when I was born (she was 41 then)

I had whatever vaccinations were given when I was a child (born in 50), polio

on a sugar cube, had tetanus since then. I refuse flu shots and no travel shots.

Supplements and medications (including dosages) taken at time of

hair test, or for the 3-6 months before the sample was taken.

The only prescription I take is L Thyroxin (t4), same dose about 20 yrs.

Supplements too numerous to remember, but the main ones now are C, D, B

complex, multi vite, multi mineral, small dose of calcium with magnesium, plus

a little mag by itself, I get about 20mgs zinc daily (you'll see my reading was

very high on that). I take a supplement called NT Factor, a liver combo with

bupleurum/milk thistle. I have very high cholesterol I'm trying to get down w/o

Rx meds, so taking Turmeric, fiber, and have tried many other things for that

(not working). Also take E, coQ10, Taurine, grapeseed extract and ginkgo

biloba. and fish oil when I remember.

My symptoms are fatigue first and foremost, brain fog/loss of memory and mental

ability, short and long term, slow brain functioning, fibro body pain with

stiffness/weakness,anxiety, some depression, lack of endurance, worse each

year, low immune system, I get every bug that goes around and can't get rid of

it, very dry skin.

Since I started the dental work I have made some improvements but not enough to

restore my health. I've waited on chelation until I got my dental work done,

not sure I'll live that long. I've been reading these lists since I began the

dental revisions (AMC, this and Deans new list) and have Andys AI book and

understand the chelation process well (if/when I can start it). So I decided to

get a base line hair test and see where I'm at. I know I have to be full of

mercury with my health issues and considering the amount of it the dentist has

been removing over the years, stuck in places we never imagined (root canal!),

the dentist was horrified. Removal was done with rubber dam and oxygen over my

nose by a dentist thats been doing removals for decades but hideously

expensive, the only option in my area.

I need help to figure out what supplements to change and to add/subtract based

on this information. We are on well water, it was tested before we moved in,

was ok. Have lived in several different area's over the course of my

life/illness, none known to be toxic areas that I know.
