Urine challenge test results in - not what expected

[Guest guest]

Please don't do challenge tests. They're dangerous and not particularly useful.

They push more mercury into the brain than they send out with the urine due to

the high single dose. I sure hope you don't have ANY mercury amalgam dental

fillings! Consider doing a DDI hair elements test and applying counting rules.

Check www.danasview.net/metals for sources of exposure. The first thing to do

is identify and reduce/remove exposure.

OK - this is extremely strange to me. I would expect my mercury levels

to be off the chart. But Mercury fine and Aluminum and Arsenic high?

I used only DMSA 500Mg - NO ALA. So why the Arsenic so high? Should I

be scared? And I guarantee based on everything that I have been

through that mercury is causing me serious problems.

Thanks for any ideas. What do you use for Aluminum? (the first number

is my result - the second is the high reference range).

Aluminum 38 < 25

Antimony 0.1 < 0.6

Arsenic 140 < 120

Beryllium < dl < 0.5

Bismuth 3.5 < 10

Cadmium 0.2 < 2

Lead 2 < 5

Mercury 1.2 < 3

Nickel 2.6 < 10

Platinum < dl < 1

Thallium 0.07 < 0.7

Thorium < dl < 0.3

Tin 1 < 9

Tungsten 0.05 < 0.7

Uranium < dl < 0.1
