6 high.

16 outside of the green zone + 1 borderline.

5? reds.

This clearly makes the counting rules - high probability of mercury tox. And

you've got an all low pattern to boot.

Aluminum is also mildly elevated - typical in cases of mercury.

Lithium below detection limit - also typical. You might try some lithium

orotate or aspartate.

Cobalt is red low. You <<might>> find B12 could help.

Mag red low ==> take magnesium, taurine (.5-1g/meal) and you might also try B6.

Ca/P low ==> fast metabolizer.

You'll tend to show less toxicity than is present.

Try:Lots of vit D (2000IU/d scaled to weight for child)

Digestive enzymes.

High fat diet.

Na/K is fine

K/Ca = .044, fine

Thyroid looks ok.

Na/Mg = 1.25, low end of normal.

You might feel a little bit better if you take Tyrosine/Phenylalanine (red meat

or supplement). You might also want to try:

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.

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.

(Adjust for children, assuming avg adult weight 135lb.)

So, you need to chelate with ALA. Please use a phyisologically appropriate

protocol. That means, dose the chelator on it's half life, which is _3 hours_.

You have to do this, even at night. Below, are some basic supps that you can

get started with. Generally, you should try to jam in as many nutrients as

possible so that there is some chance your body can get them into the cells.

Also, make sure to search on onibasu.com (it should be back up in a couple of

days) for:

Good luck to you!

Basic Supps

-----------------

A good multi-vitamin/mineral _without_ iron and _without_ copper.

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 selenomethionine, s-selenocysteine or selenium

yeast forms. No selenite or selenium citrate. Take 50-400mcg a day total

(adult, scale to weight.)

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

Thanks very much Dave. I will digest this this evening.

One other question if I may be so bold

One of the most aggravating symptoms has been joint/muscle/ligament/tendon pain

with popping and cracking noises constantly that started all of a sudden after

getting vaccinations last year containing thimerasol. I haven't found any way

to alleviate it, although its severity comes and goes. Can mercury interfere

with collagen or cartilage production, and if so is there anything to be done

prior to amalgam removal and chelation? July 10 is the earliest I can get the

amalgam out.

Many thanks!
