Hi Di,

The e-mail address is contact@... I believe it is an indication of what is in the body, rather than what is being excreted.

HiI know quite a few of you have done this test. What were the results like? Is it a better indicator of what is actually in the body compared to hair test?The phone number I tried on the back of the leaflet I got in Edinburgh is not working, do you have a number or email to call. thanks Di x

>Hello Di

Look under the files section - test results where we have posted the

three lots of results from this lab. From what we understand it is the

last three results which are most significant, believe they indicate

readings of mercury and lead. As we understand it, this is an

indication of the amount of lead and mercury in the reserve - generally

in kidneys. Our test results would indicate this reserve has declined

over the past six months when we have been chelating and is now empty.

When (seems like if) we start chelating again (have been off due to

protracted illnesses) and the 'gradient effect' of removal of Lead and

mercury from the brain by TDDMPS - according to resident scientist -

starts to take effect,we might see the amount in the reserve go up

again. This should hopefully reduce as we continue to chelate.

Our supplementation with Humet every second day also chelates heavy

metals but at same time supplements with minerals. For reasons which I

don't understand (but the resident scientist does) Humet has some kind

of mechanism whereby, if a specific mineral is not required, it is not

released.

Regarding this being a better test - who knows? Breakspear don't seem

to set much store by hair tests (correct me if I'm wrong?) but they

also caution that this test is very new ( but then isn't everthing we

are doing?)

I have facilitated - helped patients have the test done and interpret

results, with results as expected.....

No one knows, there is very litle standardized and recognized standards

both in the provocation testing, and less for urinary porphyrins, And

Lab Philippe have not showed any comparing studies, that compare how the

two tests can be evaluated / -- what differences would mean..

The pros of the test is that it is " easier " than a provocation test,

-- but then the provocation gives you a chelating effect....
