Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 hi group, I'm in need of insights from you all, We just got the lab results from the DAN! doctor and it says that my son has very high in uranium and aluminum. What's a good chelator for uranium? I heard from the doctor that there really isn't one for uranium so I'm curious what it is then to get rid of it? The test was done by hair so I'm in doubt that it's even accurate. Should I order the one that's done through urine. I think it's called the porphyrine test? Thanks in advance, Grace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 EVERYONE who lives in certain areas has 'red high' uranium. It isn't a problem if it is under 0.25. If it is over 0.5 it is a problem and you reduce it by giving him iron.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 We had significantly high levels of uranium showing up in our son's test, which we had done concurrently (by different testing facilities) with our water testing. The water test results came to us the following day, also revealing dangerously high levels of uranium & arsenic. After several discussions with the Massachusetts' Environmental Protection Agency officials, my State Representative, the Director of Radiology at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, MA (now retired), and a slew of water treatment / well diggers, I discovered that uranium is naturally occurring in granite. There is a tremendous swath of granite that runs from central Connecticut, through Massachusetts, and up into New Hampshire. As our water comes from the ground (and hence through the granite bedrock), our water becomes imbued with uranium. The same is true for other areas with a concentration of granite. We had a test for radioactivity done through one of the few places that tests for the quantity of alpha, beta & gamma in our water in Golden, CO. After several weeks of panicked worry that our entire home was radioactive, the results came back that we were safe for radioactivity. However, I then searched for 6 months to find any company that was willing to guarantee they could remove the heavy metals from our water to make it safe for us & our son. I found one and we installed a full-house water treatment system: 3 tanks & a drywell to the tune of $8000. But our water is now safe for consuming, washing and bathing, and we've eliminated the problem. Many towns & cities test water potability (drinkability) for harmful bacteria, but very few test for heavy metals. Ditto for bottled water. According to my son's physician, the safest bet for bottled water is Poland Spring as it has been tested to show the least amount of heavy metals. But this still leaves the issue of bathing & washing. I hope this can help you and best wishes! Joi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
