Elevated Manganese - Source exposure?

[Guest guest]

Lately I found that my son's manganese level is elevated off the chart.

I am clueless about his possible exposure to manganese.

Few possibilities:

- cookware - I am using GreenPan (non-stick and supposed not to release toxin at

high temperature.

- water - I am using filtered mineral water

- the small amount of manganese in Kirkman's SNT - 750mcg

- brown rice and dried beans in his daily diet.

I remember his manganese was not high in his hair test 6 months ago but in his

recent RBC elements test, his manganese has shot up to >95th percentile.

It has been mentioned in many articles that excessive manganese could be

neurotoxic to children.

Apart from chelation (which I will be starting this weekend), any other means to

neutralise manganese?

Please shed light.
