RE: hair test, extremely high in mercury , was re Anaphylactic shock, Electrolytes, Salt/C, Ampehotericine B, Benicar etc.

[Guest guest]

I just had a hair test done 3 weeks ago. I

have extremely high heavy metal burden per this test. No doc would agree to

DMSA challenge due to my health status. My mercury as an example was 6 times

the highest number on their range. The other show stopper was aluminum. Interestingly

based on your email, my iron and lead levels are low per the Doctor’s

Data hair test. Never had a cavity or filling in my life but until 3 weeks ago,

I ate enormous amounts of fish, mostly high mercury in nature probably 12 meals

per week .. My docs and I are sifting through the combo of this hair test and

the Amino Acid test and Organic Acid Test (OAT) that were also just done and

all reflect very low magnesium and potassium, the heavy metals burden, major

problem in how I detox among other things I can’t begin to understand.

The cumulative toxic load per Doctor’s Data sheet was completely off

their chart skewed I guess by the high mercury and alum stuff.

,

Have you investigated your heavy metals burden? I have similar

symptoms to yours and after a DMSA challenge test was determined to have a

slowly accummulated toxic body burden of mercury and lead along with a

significant arsenic level. Once lead accumulates, the natural detox body

system becomes impaired and mercury and other metals accumulate. Lead and

mercury impair mineral transport in the body even with supplimentation.

My electrolyte studies last month and even

my hair test show that I am very low in both potassium and magnesium and yet I

was supplementing both and still do and eat foods very high in both. Something

isn’t working right. Some changes made in the past few weeks under

direction of my natural minded neuro and natural minded ENT working together

were first to try mag sulfate injections which worsened symptoms dramatically

and now am supplementing potassium as well as taking magnesium malate tablets

and transdermal mag citrate. My walking and EDSS numbers have improved

dramatically in the past 10 days (score used to define degree of disability

related to MS) after continued progression since 2003 and being in and out of a

wheelchair or walker since 2004. They are also tinkering to get my thyroid under

control. Been on synthroid for 13 years but still not testing right and am

currently on both levoxyl and armour and see Neuro Tues to continue his plan to

either migrate to armour entirely or some combo of both. He believes my thyroid

issues started all my health problems.

My asthma and breathing issues are

improving dramatically since starting doxycline and administration of bactroban

in my nostrils (gave up on the idea of putting the bactroban in my nebulizer)

and doing albuterol treatments every 4 hour around the clock. My ENT had

previously had me using bactroban nasal irrigation but I was swallowing and

choking on the stuff and PCP thinks may have aspirated some causing my initial

breathing problems. I am very interested in what I’ve read about the Welden

protocol although my MRSA is resistant to some of the things suggested in the

protocol. I will discuss with my PCP, ENT, and Neuro (all of whom I see next

week) regarding staying longer on the antibiotic and/or adding another and

adding antifungal. Also waiting for results of sputum analysis from Friday

(although we know how those go but they were going to use the infectious

disease lab to analyze)……

Thanks for the reminder re liver issues as

I like some others have elevated liver enzymes and amino acid test and organic

acid test done in last 3 weeks reflects the same issues. Waiting to discuss

results with my docs but I have copies and have reviewed both reports and

understand the implications.

, Due to my fragile health status I take DMPS (capsule form) four days out of fourteen. I take many suppliments to build myself up on the remaining ten days. I worked with a naturopath for two and half years and now work with a DO who has a huge patient load who take IV chelation. He has agreed to go slowly with me especially because of my gastro issues....I stay away from wheat, gluten, dairy and sugar at this point...takes the fun out of eating, but beats constant loose stools and worse. I believe that much of my mercury problem came from eating farm raised salmon because I tolerated that well during gastric upset....endoscopy and colonoscopy made it worse (and me not able to leave home) while a CT scan landed me in the emergency room (unable to clear the contrast fluid). Liquid vitamins work ever so much better than capsule or tablet form at this point. I believe I was starving

nutritionally even though I was careful and vigilant about my diet. My cortisol and thyroid have been off for years, but always subclinical. So much needless suffering when we are square pegs trying to fit in the round holes of allopathic medicine. I will keep ;you in my thoughts.

you can also get mercury tranmitted in utero, did your mom have fillings/ or

dental work done when pregnant

Dear

It appears that at least mercury can be removed by increasing Selenium. The resulting mercury selenide being excreted
