Re: Uranium? What the heck! Got my hair test back today.

[Guest guest]

Not sure where you live, but I do know...as we have this issue, also, that it is

a natural occurance with certain types of rocks and water....it is usually not

the radioactive type. What I was told is that if you chelate out the

rest...the uranium will come too..you also might want to get a water filter that

takes out that kinda thing.

Wow. I have no idea. But it makes me remember going to Havasupai, the indian

reservation at the grand canyon. It is one of the most beautiful places on

earth. Took a long incredibly arduous day's hike to get down to the village, but

there are three enormous waterfalls with plunge pools to swim in down there--it

was at the time a secret vacation destination passed down from family to family

and apparently very popular with Mormons. THe tribe live down there. The tribe

members were all incredibly obese, living here in paradise a 5 hr mule ride or

expensive helicopter ride from the surface and 70 miles after that from the

nearest junction/store of any kind. I wondered about it, then looked it up.

There's a uranium mine has rights to discharge into the river there. Surely

enough, I had wicked food cravings while I was down there--they went away a week

or so after coming back from there. Are there a lot of severely obese people

where you live? Just curious. Good luck with starting the chelation.

best wishes,

Fiona

Hi Ronni and Fiona,

We live in San Diego. Our suburb is heavily populated, but I'm not sure what

the percentage is of obesity--definitely, no pun intended.

San Diego has chloramine and now fluoridated water. We have a Berkey with the

carbon and fluoride filters for our drinking water. I've been looking into

whole-house filters to filter our bath and hose water, but haven't found one

yet. Expensive, but our health is worth it.

I'll check the municipal water website to look at the details on water

treatment. We do have a lot of rocks here, can't dig an inch or two without

hitting a stone.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm starting chelation asap.

I just uploaded my hair test, if someone could take a look and tell me what you

think.

Files; Hair Tests; Sheila M. Hair Tests

I have an endocrinologist appt in a couple of weeks for adrenal/thyroid check.

I wondered about my iodine on this test. I haven't finished reading the

counting rules, so I'm not sure how to read it yet, but since it is so high in

my hair I thought maybe it was being depleted out of my body.

Thank you much,

Sheila

Guess what, it's from your granite countertops. ( I am assuming you have them)

Most people don

t realize that there is radioactive material in their kitchen countertops.

not always, you can put a geiger counter on it to find out.

No granite here; we have tile...old tile, which could have granite, but I don't

think so.

We do live near a military base, about 5 miles away, but I don't know what kind

of impact it would have.

Not to sound paranoid, but I've noticed an increase in chemtrails above us in

the last year or so. What the heck are we getting sprayed with up there?

Comtrails don't last long in the sky, right? The trails I see overhead stay up

there for longer than 30 minutes, sometimes still up there for almost an hour.

I don't believe they are military planes though.

I know I really need to decide on a water filter.

Thanks,

Sheila

Not particularly....except me and my husband...lol...but then I happen to be a

Native American... lol Hubby is not Native..but it seems to me, that this might

be a bit different. This reaction comes

from the water running over the rocks, and the uranium being released into the

water....this would be a slow assimilation...not in much larger doses as was for

the Havasupi. As to the obesity on that rez...if you look into it you will see

that it is very common on many

rezes.

What area are you from? Some areas like the Rockies are high Radon (a decay

product of uranium) areas.

Could also be a false reading. My son tested high for uranium. We redid the

hair test a week after we got the first results. Everything was the same,

EXCEPT for the uranium which went from in the red to negligble. All other hair

tests have been good.

We've chelated for 2 years. My kid lost his dx and his hair test shows normal

mineral transport, though his mercury and a few other things are now high and

off in a way that tells me we need to continue. His uranium is also now high,

and was not before. We've NEVER had granite countertops in our last house or our

new house. Neither grandmother has them either. He is not exposed to granite

countertops anywhere that I can think of.

However, I live near Three Mile Island - of the famous 70's accident.

Grew up within 25-30 miles, and now live within 2 miles. I think it is from the

soil.

Also, interesting point - I spent a part of a summer in AZ on the Havasupai

reservation as a teen. Gorgeous. Swam in those stunning pools at the base of the

falls.

Sheila,

My understanding from our MD is that you cannot remove uranium from the

body. If you know otherwise I would appreciate your feedback as both my son

and I had uranium in our hair at elevated levels.

Interestingly, when we tested a variety of fertilizers sold in the US in

2001 we found uranium in almost, if not, all of them and as high as 168 ppm.

Uranium is a natural element occurring in a lot of underground rock formations,

like the Hawthorne formation in my area. Wells end up with uranium, radon, etc.

in the water in many parts of Florida and in some other states.

Dentist also use some crown products with radioactive waste, from places like

Oak Ridge laboratory, because the Gov't essentially gives the toxic waste away

to keep from paying for the high toxic waste disposal and storage cost.

That's a common source of some uranium and beryllium, for example.

Hi Bernard,

I read a past thread of yours regarding Uranium. Have you used anything that is

effective to chelate it? Andy mentioned (he wasn't recommending, but worth a

look-see) EDTA as a chelator for U, and there have been anecdotal results from

mercury chelation also mentioned by others. I'd like to stick with ALA and

possibly DMSA though, but would like to know about other possibilities if we

don't show lessening of U with Hg chelation.
