Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 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. ------------ Posted by: " Marcia " mgrahn@... imadestinyrider Wed Jun 25, 2008 6:10 pm (PDT) 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. Here are the test results: results are posted now in the files but will leave this info below in case its helpful in some way. Toxic Elements: Aluminum 3.3 <7.0 Antimony 0.010 < 0.050 Arsenic 0.059 < 0.060 Beryllium <0.01 < 0.020 Bismuth 0.018 < 2.0 Cadmium 0.017 < 0.10 Lead .44 < 1.0 Mercury 0.38 < 1.1 Platinum <0.003 < 0.005 Thallium < 0.001 < 0.010 Thorium < 0.001 < 0.005 Uranium 0.13 < 0.060 Nickel 0.17 < 0.40 Silver 5.7 < 0.15 Tin 0.18 <0.30 Titanium 0.38 < 1.0 Essential Elements: Calcium 1160 300 - 1200 Magnesium 150 35 - 120 Sodium 71 12 - 90 Potassium 21 8 - 38 Copper 11 12 - 35 Zinc 290 140 - 220 Manganese 0.15 0.15 - 0.65 Chromium 0.33 0.20 - 0.40 Vanadium 0.20 0.018 - 0.065 Molybdenum 0.018 0.028 - 0.056 Boron 0.15 0.30 - 2.0 Iodine 0.13 0.25 - 1.3 Lithium 0.006 0.007 - 0.023 Phosporus 124 160 - 250 Selenium 1.4 0.95 - 1.7 Strontium 1.6 0.50 - 7.6 Sulfur 46,800 44,500 - 52,000 Barium 0.38 0.26 - 3.0 Cobalt 0.012 0.013 - 0.050 Iron 7.1 5.4 - 14 Germanium 0.036 0.045 - 0.065 Rubidium 0.018 0.007 - 0.096 Zirconium 0.16 0.020 - 0.42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
