Guest guest Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Question on everyone's thoughts about blood metal test. My son had a blood test done by his DAN! because we have been chelating since late October 2010 (AC protocol, oral 12.5 DMSA/6.25 ALA every 3hrs). I understood tests were being runs to check the basics of liver function, etc. but I didn't realize that a metals test was going to be ordered as well. It turns out that the metal test showed no mercury, some lead but in the green, it was 0.021 and the ref range is 0.050. When we did a urine test, he had elevated levels of lead. I am trying to figure out what this means if anything with regard to continuing with chelation. Does this mean we could be done and should concentrate on addressing viruses, parasites, etc or just keep plugging along with chelation. My son does seem to be a responder. I believe we are getting more complex language and better behavior since starting chelation. I intend to discuss this with his DAN! but I have alot of respect for the advice I read here regularly and would like anyone's opinion. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 , Usually, blood tests are unreliable for heavy metals unless the exposure was very recent. Generally, metals -especially mercury will not show up in blood past three months exposure. Mercury likes to HIDE in the body and brain. If the body's detox system can't get rid of it normally, it will bind to tissues in the body. The best way to determine metal toxicity, I believe, is a hair test. If you use Doctor's Data, you can then apply the rules of counting per the Dr. Andy Cutler Protocol. My son's blood didn't show metals as it was well past three months exposure when we finally found a doctor who would test, and we knew nothing at that time about the irght way to test for it. You can also do a urinary porphyrins test, but I think the hair test is best. Mercury poisoning causes abnormal mineral transport in the body. I think it is one of the few things (if not the only thing) that can cause this. One of our first clues (besides finding out there was mercury in our child's vaccines, was his baby teeth de-mineralized. He wasn't absorbing or " transporting " calcium efficiently, so his body was sucking calcium out of his baby teeth. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Can i menshon my self here I dont supp my son with Ca but hi didn tshow deff. and his blood for metals shoued a bit high of aluminium but low in Hg and his BC wre ok the only think wich came was the warried of B12 and folates but his Dr never tested him for it we did later on test were ok and i have so many tests done but My neurologist sad they were Ok i dont realy know if they were i can only check the limits if every think is in between .

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Usually, if there are issues with mercury, you are going to find issues with other metals as well. Get the mercury out, and the body will be better able to detoxify on its own and the other metals will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
