Re: DDI hair elements results - COMMENTS PLEASE

Greg:

I would say that it is worth the effort chelating.

Sounds like you're in need of zinc and since the aluminum is high, I believe

you use Magnesium Malate...however, I know some are using Magnesium

Glycinate.

Have you done the Comprehensive Detox Profile from GSL? My son was also

deficient in Glutathione...may be worth looking into.

the counting rules are to look for disordered mineral transport,

which is an indicator of potential MERCURY poisoning--- mercury

only. Aluminum is ALSO toxic. Aluminum is a toxic element,

so their comment that about " toxic element burden " is not

necessarily about mercury (or any OTHER element).

I forget what people use to

lower aluminum, but it is probably in the FAQ. I do not know

how " bad " a yellow score is, but lowering it is certainly not

going to hurt anything.

It's what I would do.

A therapeutic trial (response to treatment, chelation in this case) is

always the best test of some diagnosis.

If you want more laboratory testing, try fractionated urine

porphyrins. See the " porphryins " file in the files section.
