hair: cadmium toxic/urine PH/lead?

[Guest guest]

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,
