new-hoping for results/chelation feedback

[Guest guest]

Dear group:

I am relatively new to the group and am trying to determine if chelation might

help my six-year-old daughter (apraxia, cdiff, yeast, asthma, allergies, poor

growth, intermittent fevers and canker sores, etc.). I have the cutler book and

it seems we do not meet the counting rules. I would love some confirmation on

that. If that is correct, it seems antimony and arsenic are definite problems. I

am also interested in any input on interpreting the zinc and calcium levels. (I

am already supplementing with zinc based on previous testing-Nutreval/Genova

diagnostics.) Note I included the porphyrin test as well. It indicated potential

mercury, but a relatively low overall toxicity level. Our dan interpreted that

as mitochondrial issues rather than mercury (based on very recent

research/papers it seems). Any advice or feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

We have been doing biomedical for about a year without a lot of progress. We

want to make sure we have the root of the problem. The yeast is a big problem it

seems as is constipation and asthma. She is very frail.

Thank you.
