Guest guest Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 We have sent off our son's hair test yesterday. We expect the results in 2-4 weeks. WHat we would like to know is: -Will this test tell us which supplements he needs to be on during on/off periods of chelation, or should we have additional tests done? -If/when we start chelating, when should we have additional tests done, what types of tests, and are there 'local' labs that are good at this? Not only do we want to make sure we are getting rid of the mercury, we want to make sure his body isn't being depleted of minerals. -Is there an online supplier that is a one-stop sho for all necessary supplements that are reccomeded for this type of treatment. We've been using Poly Vi-Sol as our son has a limited diet (no meat), so we have to make sure he gets enough Vitamins/Iron. Any other helpful tips would be most appreciated. Thanks, Jay, father of Connor, 27 Month old PDD-NOS (non-verbal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hair test can give you *some* ideas for supplements, but don't rely just on that test. > -If/when we start chelating, when should we have additional tests > done, what types of tests, and are there 'local' labs that are good at > this?

I chelated my son for more than a year and recently we had a hair test done. Most of his minerals were in the ranges. We suppemented with selenium, zinc, magnesium, calcium, molybdenum.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2003 Report Share Posted March 1, 2003 How do you know how much of each supplement to use? My understanding is that too much can be as bad as too little? > > -Will this test tell us which supplements he needs to be on during > > on/off periods of chelation, or should we have additional tests done? > > The hair test can give you *some* ideas for supplements, but don't rely just > on that test. > > > > -If/when we start chelating, when should we have additional tests > > done, what types of tests, and are there 'local' labs that are good at > > this?

Sometimes it's trial and error. If you pay attention you can usually tell. Also, if you look in the Files, you will find here: /files/ANDY_INDEX useful recommendations regarding this. There's a whole sections that discusses doses and " how " and " what " . It helped me a lot. Valentina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
