Re: hair test results - high arsenic & low Ca/Cu/Zn

[Guest guest]

Does the hair test meet the counting rules for deranged mineral transport? Where

is the mercury level?

My child had high arsenic and antimony, too. He did meet the counting rules, so

I assumed mercury was high, though he wasn't excreting it in his hair.

We did not have lead issues. Is the lead above or below the reference range

number?

We used ALA only for chelation. In about 2.5 years, my child's arsenic and

antimony were well below the reference ranges and he no longer showed deranged

mineral transport AND his diagnosis was removed, as he healed.

We also changed many lifestyle elements to decrease exposures, such as organic

foods, avoiding pesticides/herbicides, switching to flame retardant free

mattress, bedding, sleepwear, etc.

The low elements on the hair test may (or may not) mean anything - depends on

the whole picture. Look in the files section to see if the counting rules are

listed.

HI .

Do you think I could order a mattress without the flame retardant. I heard they

are like 3000 dollars

I once threw one of the non retardant foam mattresses on a fire. It quickly

caught fire and for the next two minutes you could get no where near the thing.

No matter what they cost, you don't want one of the things.

Thanks,

Dan, there are people who want them, regardless of the cost and with full

knowledge of the fire risks.  The horrible chemicals that are used on

conventional mattresses have not been used for all of eternity, meaning we can

make do without them, and they can be quite damaging to one's health. 

 

There are precautions people can take to lower the fire risks; such as, not

throwing it on a flaming pile, not smoking in bed, not keeping a heater in bed,

removing electrical appliances from the area (heating pads, laptops,

radios, etc)  and having appropriate fire detection equipment in place and

working.  I'm sure there are others but these are just a few of the things we

have done. 

 

It may not be the right solution for you, but it is the right step for others. 

(We currently have one chemical free mattress out of five beds in the house,

because that child really needed a chemical free bed and is doing much much

better).

Sandy,

You need a script to get one.  Once you have the script its good for life so

keep it in a safe place.

 

Some are that expensive others are not.  you just need to research it. 

 

I got a boulder style mattress from whitelotus.net

(http://www.whitelotus.net/organic-cotton-mattress-no-flame-retardant/)

 

we love it - their twin size are around $900 and used to include shipping -

check on that as I don't know if it still does or not.  they also have a

stowaway/roll up size for travel or sleepovers.

Can you  please share the gains you saw with the mattress . what were the

changes you saw.

Does it make that much of a difference?

the mercury level was around 40% percentile, presumably because he is

unvaccinated and we don't have amalgams. the counting rules were not met. the

lead is just within the reference range (inside green). i just ordered a rbc

elements test to verify the low minerals.

i am glad to hear of your success! why did you decide to chelate with ALA only?

We purchased an organic full size mattress and box spring for my 11 months ago.

The cost was about $1300. His last hair test showed practically no antimony

(we've been chelating with ALA for 2 years), and his ASD dx was removed this

past fall. Worth EVERY penny.

I used ALA only because my son had no need for DMSA that I could ascertain

(never had amalgams, hadn't had vaccines in the 2 years prior, lead levels were

not high). I also use (controversial, I know, but don't care) AK or muscle

testing and my son tested as a " no " for DMSA.

Regardless, it worked. BEAUTIFULLY.
