Re: hair: cadmium toxic/urine PH/lead?

[Guest guest]

urine must be alkalinized to a pH of 7 or greater...

Wondering how you test this?

[ ] hair: cadmium toxic/urine PH/lead?

PLEASE...someone good at hair tests, I need help...

I thought I could work this out myself, but now that I am very close to starting

DMSA, I want some input, please. I read parts of Andy's book and the cadmium

part scared

me (pg 242: " urine must be alkalinized to a pH of 7 or

greater when doing this or what chelation results in is transfer of much cadmium

from

parts of the body where it isn't causing too much trouble into the kidney where

it can be a

problem. " ).

I posted his DDI Hair Elements Results as a jpeg file in the photos, in a folder

called " Ian " .

I have done the counting rules two different ways (with a friend's help) and he

does not

meet those. So I am guessing he transports metals normally. (yes?)

Is there enough Cadmium here to warrant concern?

We so appreciate your guidance. The urine pH part is what got me. What does this

entail? How can I measure this? Does this apply to my Ian, or his Cadium levels

not high

enough for concern?

PS. I also did porphyrin tests, which corroborated these results. REAL high in

lead.

Thank you,

It is neither definitively normal nor is it deranged, it is unusual.

Might or might not have a mercury issue.

The lead is sky high. Lead is an issue. Pay attention to the lead, worry about

the mercury

later.

I don't think so.

Giving him things like magnesium carbonate supplements or baking soda until a pH

strip

shows his urine pH is above 7, and making sure to give whatever amount you find

it takes

several times a day.

Yup. REAL high in lead. The precoproporphyrin in some results is mercury

speciifc, that

might be informative in this particular case. Lead alone doesn't elevate it.
