Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I posted my son's hair test here (Wes hair test in the files). I already posted it elsewhere, but wondered if anyone has any additional info for us, because of low copper and lithium. My son does not meet the counting rules, but I have been advised to chelate anyway for a trial (good advice). However, my son has very low copper and zinc. Has anyone had to deal with this? My dr didn't seem to want to do a blood test to rule anything out ('s, or low blood copper/zinc ratio). I have the current supplement schedule as we prepare to chelate: (4 necessary for chelation) zinc 15mg 4 x a day (scared to increase because of low copper) magnesium 100mg 4 x a day (400 total) Vit. C 125 mg 4 x a day (500 total) Vit. E 400 mg 1 x a day Vit. D 800 1 x mg a day Calcium 500 mg 1 x a day (no dairy in diet) copper i take a 2mg cap and divide it into 3 caps (1 a day) Carlson fish oil 1 x a day (adult cap) a very basic multi (soloray) 1 x a day 1 culturelle at night we also have GSE and OoO in case we need it. How are we doing? I don't like to give supps or medicine...I get nervous about all the additional stuff in the pill...magnesium stearate, silica, etc. Thanks so much (we haven't started chelating yet but have ALA and DMSA. Not sure which we will use or if we will use both). My son is 8 years old Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Oh yes. And I had to color it in, because neither Great Plains nor my doctor will give me the color copy. Sorry it looks like a kindergarten picture..well, maybe not that good. Martha > > I posted my son's hair test here (Wes hair test in the files).
