Hair test if already did IV challenges and on supplements

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

My 4.5yo daughter has no diagnosis but is like a CP-sensory processing

kid, non verbal, does not walk normal. At 20 wks pg with her, i had

an amalgym filling removed, so I always suspected she had a mercury

infusion inutero. She acts more like a lead toxic kid- dyspraxia,

pica.... . She had 2 DMSA challenges and 2 Ca EDTA and 1 DMPS

challenge done. She is toxic, but not " too bad " per these challenge

interpretations. Ok, now that I found this site, I have to ask: If I do

a hair test, does it matter that she has been on supplements for over

a year? Will that mess u the mineral count? Also, how do I know if

the low dose of DMSA will work if the challenge with DMSA did not seem

to pull a lot? I assume it is the fact that it is frequent dosing

that slowly I will see the pulls. My gut tells me that by pregnacy

history with the tooth deal, that she has a lot of mercury in her

brain and ALA may be very helpful.

Thanks a bunch

Kathy

===>Hi Kathy,

You probably know by reading here that challenge tests are not recommended as

they can sometimes make kids worse. Giving a large dose of chelator, like is

done with a challenge test, can cause redistribution. Why so many challenge

tests?

To answer you ?, sometimes supplementation will make a hair test look more

normal and sometimes not. Depends on the individual. I would still recommend

you get one done.===>

Also, how do I know if the low dose of DMSA will work if the challenge with

DMSA did not seem to pull a lot? I assume it is the fact that it is frequent

dosing that slowly I will see the pulls.

===>If anyone takes a chelator, low dose or not, it will chelate metals. If

metals are her problem, you will see improvements with low/frequent dosing of

the DMSA/ALA.===>

My gut tells me that by pregnacy

history with the tooth deal, that she has a lot of mercury in her

brain and ALA may be very helpful.

===>I think you are on the right track here. Good luck!

Thanks a bunch
