Guest guest Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Both blood and urine tests done with a conventional toxicologist, plus a urine pophryrin test (all done a few weeks ago) show elevated arsenic. I don't believe any previous tests (eg. done last year) showed this. So it makes me think I got arsenic in me just fairly recently (within the last year), and I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what the source(s) could've been. I know arsenic could come from shellfish, contaminated water (eg. well water), and possibly chicken. Is there anything else? I haven't had shellfish in quite a while (have tried to avoid it b/c of possible HM's), but I did have sardines several times before the tests. But I thought sardines were relatively " safe " fish b/c of their size, etc? I did have NYC tap water several times, but could that really be a possible source? I didn't think something as bad as arsenic would be " allowed " in public tap water... Have definitely eaten chicken (mostly non-organic), but didn't think there'd be enough possible arsenic in there to really amount to much (maybe I was wrong?). I'm just baffled as to how I got an elevated level of arsenic within one year... I also need to find out so I can avoid *further* contamination. If any thoughts, pls send!
