Re: How to test for metal poisioning?

[Guest guest]

My doctor advised that a hair test is inaccurate. Best is a DMPS IV urine

challenge, but it's expensive. Next best is the DMSA capsule urine challenge.

DMSA is safer, I read, than DMPS, though I felt no ill effects from my first

test,

which was DMPS.

Yes, she should get tested anyway. There are other sources of mercury and it

will indicate if she's high in any other heavy metals. It also tests elemental

minerals. The DMSA urine challenge cost me $75.

Message #26515 of this message board has several links about DMPS

testing for metals.

Luke used " The Force " , we can use " The Search " function and mine the

message database for past messages.

My opinion is that the challenge tests are the way to go and the hair

tests are bunk and a waste of time and money.

I've seen the DMPS backfire site, which is referenced in message

26515, and wondered why such a nice looking site was up to trash a

generally accepted treatment. Someone has to be making money based on

the fear caused by the website. Maybe someone selling hair tests put

the site up to generate more business for their hair testing?

After I had four more DMPS IVs after the challenge IV, and no

appreciable problems. I have 32 teeth, no fillings and had mercury in

me, likely due to occupational exposures.

I have very many Multiple Sclerosis friends who have had their dental work

checkout and amalgam fillings replaced with either ceramic or gold it had seen

no change in their medical diagnosis.

Hi Martha,

Did your results show heavy metal toxicity?
