Blood tests are only useful if there has been exposure from mercury within the

last 3 months. Blood tests after a high dose chelating agent are not useful

either, as this is not predictable about how much is actually in the brain, and

will always most likely pull mercury, whether mercury toxic or not. If you

could put the hair test in the files and ask Andy to interperet via counting

rules for mineral transport, you would get a better understanding, but I'd say

if mercury is showing in hair, then there has been a recent exposure, that the

body has not been able to get rid of, or if chelating agent has been at too high

a dose. Then again there are plenty of NT kids who show mercury on hair tests

also, but plenty ASD showing no mercury(from NOT being excreted), as in my son.

The mums and dads on chelatingkidsaustralia have been a huge help.

Autism-mercury I mainly use to browse to get insight from other posts but has

also been helpful.
