Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 How much does this test cost? Love and prayers, Heidi N Hi again, everyone! Well - I'm back from my appt. - and it was POSITIVE! I am SO full of mixed emotions right now. Numb mainly. 21 years of this nightmare. I know y'all know what it's like, but it's been SO hard when those around me do NOT understand. My own sister complained to a friend one time about how I " never help out with cleaning the house " . If she only knew how HARD it is just for me to do the things I HAVE to do each day like - um - brushing my teeth! Wears me out to do even that. Anyway - back to my labs! This was a brand new lyme panel from NeuroScience.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 I honestly don't know, Heidi! It was billed under my insurance, so I don't know if I will have a co-pay or not... I'm sure you could contact them to ask.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Hi, I hope you guys can give me some advice.... My hair mineral analysis shows high levels of lead and mercury, moderately high for cadmium, nickel, arsenic and aluminum. Essential trace elements normal/low. Most of the essential minerals are borderline low, apart from copper which is normal - (Weird)? Copper is also raised in my urine analysis after DMSA challenge, which follows; Urine test at rest shows high levels of arsenic, barium, mercury and nickel. Moderately high levels of cadmium, lead and aluminum and tin. High calcium and magnesium (although I'm told this reflects good intake). All other essential minerals are normal apart from cobalt and manganese are borderline high. Urine test after chelator (DMSA) shows high levels of arsenic and barium (almost the same as rest figures for rest urine). There is a substantial increase in lead. Also the same for mercury, a substantial increase after chelation. I suppose this goes to show how good DMSA is at removing metals. The other toxic elements are the same as the urine rest figures. Maybe this whole thing explains why I can''t tolerate zinc above a certain point, I also cannot tolerate Iodine, I used to use it at around 25mg but the same thing happened when I used zinc, bad lower back pain, headaches etc. I started chelation yesterday with DMSA, 40mg 6 times a day (total approx 250mg), every four hours for three days, then four days off, as per Andy Cutler protocol. Getting some pretty bad headaches, could this be because my liver isn't working properly? I normally have to take dandelion and milk thistle 3 or 4 times a day to get rid of the headache (thats without chelation). But now I have tried this and the headaches persist. I saw a post about Cutler recommending glycine and taurine for bile secretion. I have always have a problem with bile secretion, high fecal fat content, headaches etc so I have been taking Ox bile and pancreatin for some years. Do you think it is worth trying glycine/taurine? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
