Re: Urgent ! help, what to do about next round - new hair test results i

[Guest guest]

What's your dosing schedule? As you may know many DAN! docs prescribe an unsafe

dosing protocol unrelated to the half life of the chelator(s). Does the hair

test meet the counting rules?

Urgent ! help, what to do about next round - new hair test results i

I know it is the holiday, and you are all busy. But we just got our second hair

test results

in today (ordered at our DANs request) I am supposed to talk to him about the

results on

Friday, but he does not really know how to read and interpret these tests. My

son is 30 lbs

and 3 1/2 years old and he has had 11 rounds of chelation DMSA/ALA. We just went

to a

3/4 schedule and lowered the chelators to 10 mg of DMSA per dose and 3mg of ALA

per

dose.

I can't post the results until I am back in my office next week. But of concern

to me, is

that his copper, which pre chelation, 6 months ago, was very high, almost, but

not quite

in the red has gone even higher. We stopped giving high copper foods, we were

giving

lots of nuts and some chocolate. But now after ALA chelation the copper is

totally in the

red, despite dietary intervention, as high as it can go to the end of the page

on the test

results. I have molybdenum on hand, and know I need to start giving this a few

times a

day. But is it ok meanwhile to continue with ALA chelation? We are only at 3 mg

per dose

and our son tolerates it ok and has made a lot of gains. But is it dangerous to

continue to

chelate with ALA? We supplement with about 40 mg of zinc beyond the 15 mg he

gets in

his multi. (of course the zinc in hair as a result) Does this need to be

increased as well?

Also, I was noticing signs of adrenal fatigue. Six months ago his sodium and

potassium

were white into green, to the left of the 50th percentile, sodium was 26 ug/g

and

potassium was 27. Now sodium is 13 and potassium is 8! Do I need to start

adrenal

support asap? Should I start with the Adrenal Cortex Extract? Lithium and boron

have

taken nose dives as well, extremely low. Lithium went from .007 to .005ug/g.

We are seeing higher levels of the toxic elements in the hair. Mercury and lead

are still

lower than the others, but show at higher levels than 6 months ago.

Anyway, copper and adrenals are my most pressing concerns. I will post the

results so

that you can all help me with interpreting the rest of the results next week.

I would appreciate any help you could give me with whether to chelate with ALA

and with

what to do about the copper, and adrenals.

Thanks. Irene
