Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 It is hard to find a doctor to understand chelation as most have not read the new information about the subject. The amount of medical personal that do not even know they are injecting people with mercury is hard to believe. The hair test article that you spoke of is posted at messages/govinfo or also at autism- mercury post #14836. The report is misleading in that the labs that have the most trouble with testing want to sell you vitamins, those that do not sell anything charge more for their service but are correct with their numbers. In my case I used Doctors Data for hair test, and urine challenge test. Then I checked their results with a urine test done by Veterens Hospital Palo Alto. They came out the same. This is such a new field trust no one, check everthing. But as I have said before testing means NOTHING if I inject you with mercury what are the chances that it is not in your body. It is in your body. I need no test. Mercury can go all the way from dead SIDS baby to President of the United States, and everything inbetween. Also if you go to the references at the end of the article you can get more information. In my case I checked and rechecked the labs. The labs were correct. > Stories like you report are very disturbing. My function is to work with not > against my patients.
