Guest guest Posted December 16, 2001 Report Share Posted December 16, 2001 We just received our Element analysis (MetaMetrix) on our 5yr son. Results show HIGH Ca(not indicator of nutritional status of Ca when measured in erythrocyte but " has been assoc. w/ hypertension),LOW mg,LOW zinc and other trace minerals low/normal...we've been supplementing these for over a year....these measures were done before 1st round of metals- detox. I really wonder what the measures are going to be on the post metals-detox measure?! I realize that the body burden of mercury & /or other metals decreases the ability of the body to properly process these elements...I'm just wondering how much is his body benefiting from the $$ of supplements we put into it each day. Even a little help is worth the $$ but I have questions as to how even our doctors know how to dose these kids? As a small example, we were giving our son 50mg/Zinc 2X/day for 2 months prior to this measure. His Zinc measured 3.5 with ref. being 6.0-11.0?!? Any input? Re: [ ] low calcium - okay to Chelate now, Andy? Mercury interferes with mineral transport meaning the boday doesn't use it right...that's why the counting rules apply.

Hi , Speaking purely anecdotally, my calcium level went from very elevated (about twice the high end of ref range) (on test at beginning of chelation) to ***normal*** (on test after several months of chelation). Other elements also mostly normalized. The most abnormal value (on the later test) was lithium (extremely low)-- a couple in the yellow zone (low or high). The counting rules say I have NORMAL mineral transport (on later test). I don't think this is conclusive of anything much, but it sure seems incouraging Moria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
