Re: Posted 2 hair tests before chelation & 4 months into-looking for advice

[Guest guest]

Neither tests meet the counting rules. The 2009 test is more

suspicious-looking than the 2010 test (Rule #2 off by one).

Both tests show moderate adrenal stress with too much adrenaline being

made and not enough cortisol (Ca/Mg low and Na/K high) but 2010 does

look better for that too. It couldn't hurt to try some adrenal cortex

extract...

The arsenic is worrisome. DMSA will not chelate arsenic. I would add ALA

into the mix as soon as possible. As well, identifying a current source

of arsenic exposure would be helpful.
