Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Stan, I am fairly new here. I saw your son's encouraging story. My son has similarities to Ethan. His viral tests (even PCR) were all negative, and his hair test for mercury was very low, almost nil. Some other metals showed up in hair and/or challenge tests, such as Al, Tin and Thallium. We will be starting Valtrex soon. However my son is healthy looking and no bowel problems, just underweight. He's PDD-NOS. Just wondering if any other metals showed up in any of his labs and what were they? Did the mercury levels ever go up or did you test for that? Our Dr. thinks mercury is not his issue (MTHFR was normal) but the other metals are causing the problem. He's also COMT++. We just finished 3 months of TD-DMPS with a little improvement and are waiting for challenge results. - Thanks, Theresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Hi Theresa, I've didn't do the genetic testing on my son, but his hair mercury levels were .03 ug/g... very low... which to me means he was holding onto mercury and he did have a rash that moved from his head to his stomach during the healing regression... he had no viral titer markers before during or after therapy and we did not run a PCR. It sounds like you knew this already, but I just wanted to be clear. My son did not have any obvious bowel signs, except 20 or so markers on his IGG Food Panel. I did not think he had a gut issue back then, but he certainly changed with diet and after his therapies you don't find a smidgen of poop when you wipe now. So there was an observational difference, I just didn't notice it until he got better. He did have some high hair metal markers including uranium (quite common in california... it's the water to the best of my research). I don't have the scan of the report on this computer, but if you really want to know, I can find it for your later today. - Stan > > Hi Stan, I am fairly new here.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks Stan. Basically I'm wondering if you think or have any tests to show that mercury did come out with the Valtrex. - Theresa > > > > Hi Stan, I am fairly new here.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 We do have before and during metals tests and we're working on doing a formal study on it as well. - Stan > > > > > > Hi Stan, I am fairly new here.
