Blood tests for mercury detect elemental mercury, organic mercury (e.g.

methylmercury) and inorganic mercury (Hg++)

They only show acute, recent exposure, not chronic mercury that's

settled in organs, tissue, and the brain.

The mercury that is grabbed by the chelator's thiol groups is Hg++, so

it might show that there is lots of Hg++SH-- molecules floating around

in the blood, waiting to get processed by the kidneys and liver and

excreted. Or redistributed.

Again, all a blood test is going to show is that mercury has been

disturbed recently.

Please share when you get the results back.

We actually did this hoping something would show up for lead- it showed no

mercury, 4.9 lead and 3 aluminum- his actual levels are 69 lead, 140 Aluminum,

98 Tin, 7.2 mercury etc. The blood tests will not show extreme metal toxicity

unless it just happened, even then I would suspect those results might be

covered up as not to show a connection to autism. Our pediatrician said when my

son was 2 1/2 that he'd grow out of it by the time he's 5, well, he's almost 6

now and severe. It was disheartening to see the blood test that the Dr's rely on

said he isn't heavy metal poisoned when in reality he is overloaded.

My doc ordered this for my son, measuring his Cu, Mg, Zn, Hg, and a few

other toxic metals that were high. (I really wanted a copper test due to the

extremely high hair copper, but the doctor did not order the type I wanted

(RBC's not serum). In any case, all elements tested were " in range " .

If anyone is interested I can post more.
