,

My daughter's test results, which I posted recently, showed high

uranium as well & I had questions about that too. You can have a look

at my recent post & associated responses here, maybe they will help

interpreting your results:

/message/218942

I also was a bit panicked by the uranium level being in the red, but

if you look at the value indicated for your test (.29), it is lower

than the level of 0.5, which Andy says is significant. I also noticed

that there is " bleach " indicated for your hair treatment. Did you send

in new growth that is free of any bleaching treatment? Hair results of

treated hair cannot be trusted.

Have you applied the counting rules to the test? I hesitate to comment

further since I'm new to this & my own assumptions on my daughter's

tests were off a bit. The rules are summed up on this site:

Good luck & hope you get more useful answers.

I had high uranium, too. In Hair Test Interpretation, Andy says

it gets into the water supply from certain types of rock. Low

dietary iron seems to cause higher uranium levels and eating more

iron-rich foods might help to reduce it. High uranium is not

necessarily a problem unless it is above .5 or halfway across

the red zone.

As to the rest of the test, it counts pretty normal. However

your average excretion of toxics is on the low side and I wouldn't

say it looks like the " normal-looking " tests in Andy's book. If

you have health problems, you may want to consider a trial of

chelation at some point. You must remove amalgam fillings before

taking any chelators.

Do you use a vanadium supplement? If so, I suggest you stop

taking it, since toxic levels of vanadium can cause problems.

There might be some adrenal stress, and a possible thyroid

problem. You would need to decide based on symptoms whether it

makes sense to do some testing for those issues. For the

undetectable lithium, a supplement of 5 mg lithium orotate is a

good idea.

You can learn more by reading Andy's book:

Mine also showed high uranium..it really looked high on the test but

when I looked in Andy's book it was under the amount that

quoted below..so in essence not the problem. It can come down with

chelation for other metals anyway. It's just scary at first to see on

the test.

Low or no lithium can indicate mercury. If you have had know exposures

like metal fillings or vaccines...a trial of chelation is worthy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to go over my results. I have

been on an Iron supplement for almost 2 years now, most of it being

floradix and other natural sources. I also use cast-iron. But my

levels are still low.

I'm not taking any vanadium, so I need to figure out where that's

coming from. Ans I have adrenal fatigue and low thyroid, but have

been taking supplements for them since last August. But as I feared

it probably isn't enough. When I wean my daughter in March I am

going to start a thyroid protocol to supposedly jump start my

thyroid, hopefully it works. I also have chronic fatigue which I saw

mentioned in chronic exposure to uranium, so my guess is that I have

had it for a long time since I have had the chronic fatigue since

about 12.

Thanks again for your help, and if you have any other info I am all

eyes.

I had the same problem with iron. Taking it did not improve my

very low ferritin level. Mercury causes oxidative stress and so

does iron. The body can't get rid of the mercury, so it tries to

minimize oxidative stress by keeping iron low.

GI problems can also contribute to poor iron absorption and this

was part of my problem. Treating my GI problems helped somewhat

with iron and helped a lot with gut symptoms, too. If you have

any GI symptoms, an evaluation by a GI doc can be worthwhile.

> I'm not taking any vanadium, so I need to figure out where that's

Could you be getting it in a combination supplement, a multi-min or

blood sugar control supp, maybe the supps you mention below?

If you check the ingredients on your supps and can't find it, then I

think mercury-deranged mineral transport is the source of the problem.

If it is s protocol (for s temperature syndrome), this

is very helpful for some people. There are other options for

treating thyroid problems in case it doesn't work for you. I take

a low dose of sustained release T3, which helps. I also take

hydrocortisone. Make sure you have some adrenal support (that works)

before taking thyroid hormone.

I also have chronic fatigue which I saw

It could be one factor, although I would expect mercury to be a

bigger overall factor in chronic fatigue.

In my case, Andy suggested an iron supplement for high uranium.

I did this and the uranium dropped on my next hair test. If you

were already taking iron supplements during the three months or so

before the hair test, then I think this is a bigger issue and well

worth looking into the GI factor as well as chelation.

I did very poorly on Floradix and Floravital. They made my gut

problems much worse. I don't do well on ferrous sulfate and other

common forms of iron either. I have done better on Hemagenics by

Metagenics and IronSorb by Jarrow. You might want to look into

the homeopathic remedy ferrum phosphoricum.

If you haven't joined the adult chelation groups, you can get more

adult-oriented advice there:

adult-metal-chelation

frequent-dose-chelation

I also highly recommend Andy's book Amalgam Illness. It is a great

handbook for mercury toxic people, and will help you understand what

is happening in your body (and your daughter) and what to do about it:
