Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 Hi Gail, I have done 4 liver cleanses in the last 4 months, and in fact I have just started another today, which will be my 5th. And yes, I've been taking Quadra-Zyme Plus digestive enzymes. Have been making an effort to do pretty much everything that I can think of. That's why I was so surprised by the results. I have heard that mercury (which doesn't show up on hair, blood, or urine tests unless the exposure was recent) and other toxic metals can interfere with mineral absorption. Starting to wonder if that is my probem. The test also showed that I had high levels of aluminum, so I have to figure out how to get that out also.

Hi Dave, I am so not an expert, and I don't mean to sound like a broken record....but have you cleaned up the liver? Do you take digestive enzymes? Seems like we often need some help in digesting our foods. And I'm sure you've read my feelings before on the liver cleanses. ) Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 Hi Laurie, Never used antiperspirants. I switched from a roll-on deodorant to a mineral salt deodorant about a month ago. Don't drink sodas or anything else from aluminum cans. Use glass cookware. I have no idea where the heck it's coming/came from ....

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Also, I wonder about how accurate hair analysis is anyway. I would think it would greatly vary depending on what hair products you used. I think some would alter the mineral content. Just guessing tho.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Hi Donna, I've been using Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap on my hair, no conditioner (don't seem to need conditioner with the soap even though southern California water is very hard). Then a couple of times a week I use Young Livings essential oil shampoo. You raise an interesting question. I wonder how accurate hair analysis is also??
