Andy et al...Help w/hair test, chelation?

[Guest guest]

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

DMSA (just

got it in the mail today), 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 " .

(Not " Ian's Journey " ...that is someone else.) Is there a preferred way of

posting?

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?

Though lead is the bad boy here, does this mean lead may be lurking underneath?

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.

Thank you,
