Guest guest Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Pam, this test was ordered by our pediatrician, the first time was after my son had a reaction to his vaccines (4 years ago) and it was in range. When we just switched to a new local ped for the sake of having someone support our decision to stop vaxing and natural methods of healing, he looked at all of our lab work and requested these labs to be run. I am willing to hear what he has to say at our appt tomorrow, but I plan to bring up the possibility that infections, including bacterial, have been known to increase sed rates. We'll see what he says. I am open to investigating further. > > > > > > I just know that the sed rate is a general lab; if elevated it just means > > > that there is inflammation somewhere in the body - but since it is so > > > non-specific, further testing is needed to determine what is going on. > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 We had sky high SED rates in the beginning, it indicates inflammation, mostly from metals, can be somewhat related to viruses, which are related to metals, so it's metals.
