Re: help interpreting Hair Test Results

[Guest guest]

These are my hair test results from last May. He is doing considerably better

now with only diet and supplements so perhaps he has already improved? I would

like to start chelation and would appreciate your advice and guidance.

Thank you,

Millie

Hi Millie,

S S,

Thanks so much for taking the time to look over my hair test results

and commenting. I thought that we did meet more than one of the

counting rules, but it's good to hear it from more knowledgeable source.

I have looked at the chelating info and am getting ready to start right

after everyone leaves from the Thanksgiving visit. I will keep the

group posted if you don't mind so that you can hold my hand.

Thanks again,

Millie

Supplements can improve behavior and help him feel better, but

you still need to chelate. Chelation is what will get him to

where he doesn't need all the supplements.

I count this test as meeting two counting rules and 1 short on

the third rule. It is an all low test, suggesting the levels of

toxics are more significant than they appear. I suggest using

DMSA as a chelator, starting with a dose of 1/8-1/4 mg per pound.

Once things are going smoothly with DMSA, add ALA to get the

mercury out of the brain. Look in the Files section for more

on how to chelate safely with low, frequent doses (see the FAQ

and any links to Moria's site).

People with " all low " minerals benefit from digestive support

such as enzymes, ascorbic acid, and/or betaine HCL with meals.

noted the Ca/Mg/Na/K pattern. It looks like adrenal

exhaustion with thyroid dysfunction as well. Consider some

adrenal cortex extract to help heal and support the adrenals.

Check a list of symptoms of hypothyroid - if it fits at all,

you may want to pursue blood tests for thyroid hormones:

free T3, free T4, TSH.

The low Na/Mg ratio means low adrenaline production, poor mood

and low energy level. The following may be helpful: tyrosine,

TMG, folic acid, B6, B12.

Make sure he is getting molybdenum in his supplements. Not

clear if the red lows are significant when the counting rules

are met, but that is an important one.

See the supplement file in the Files section for more information

on supplements for chelation (antioxidants 3-4 times daily,

omega 3s, B complex, milk thistle, minerals, etc).
