Re: DDI Hair Elements Test Results & counting rules

[Guest guest]

Judy,

It looks like a lot of your essential elements are low, indicative of mercury

toxicity, as well as a big indicator (low lithium). As someone who has already

gone through all this, I would first purchase and read Dr. Huggins book, " It's

all in your head " in which you will find out everything about the toxicity of

mercury amalgam fillings, but also the toxicity of other dental materials which

include how bad having gold in your mouth along with amalgam and crowns can be.

Read his book first as he gives lots of clues and diagnostic markers to help you

determine whether your dental materials are at the root of your health problems,

and then contact DMAS for a referral to a dentist in your area who is trained by

Dr. Huggin's protocol on proper and safe removal, and then buy Andy Cutler's

book which we all use, " Amalgam Illness, Diagnosis and Treatment " which will

take you through everything else to do step by step. He is a scientist who also

became very ill with CFS, found out it was mercury poisoning from his fillings,

got them out, did chelation and other nutritional protocols and completely

recovered.

Good luck

DDI Hair Elements Test Results & counting

rules

DDI Hair Elements Test Results

I still have the amalgams and have been diagnosed with

Fibromyalgia. I am concerned that it may be mercury causing my long

term illness. I have root canals, crowns, amalgam fillings, and

gold crowns. I have had them for years. My results from the DDI

hair elements test are listed below and I have done the counting

rules. I am new at researching mercury as being the cause of my

illness and I have read Andy's book. I was surprised that I did not

meet the counting rules for mercury poisoning since I have so many

things going on in my mouth.

I have been taking ALA, MSM, Garlic, and DMSO for several years not

knowing that they had anything to do with moving mercury. I have

improved with the pain and chronic fatigue but it is a touch and go

on what I can do.

I would appreciate any input regarding my test. I am trying to find

a dentist to help evaluated what I need to do. That has been

interesting, I have another analogy but I will not get started on

what most dentist say to me if I even mention mercury.

TK--- If you do not meet the counting rules probability is low, not

everyone is toxic. The amalgams IMO should still be removed properly

with the proper precautions if you have health problems [they do not

help]. Then consider using some chelation with DMPS or DMSA

[depending on how many you actually remove] after to help remove any

possibility of redistribution from the removal or regular sauna

depending on how you continue to feel after removal.

Thanks for your reply. I am concerned about the root canals and plan to

have them removed because I do not think that it is a good option to keep

them. Two are filled with the silver amalgams that I know of and suspect

there is more under crowns.

I am not sure what you mean but I think you are saying I could have mercury

toxicity even though I do not meet the counting rules, or toxicity of

something other than mercury.

TK--- Tests How ?

He has not discussed this with me, but I know of another person that goes to

him and the DMSP challenge test was used. This person is doing fine and has

a high percent of mercury in the body. I will ask for other test other than

this one.

I feel the same. I have so much work already done in my mouth that I feel

that is will be impossible to save many teeth. My upper is totally bridges

and crowns with three root canals. My first attempt to find a dentist

through the DAMS list was an awful experience. Just because they are on the

list it does not mean they are equipped to do the work. He could talk the

talk, but his office was in a shed behind his house. It was dirty and I

could hardly wait until I got out of that place. I am very depressed in

trying to find a dentist that is qualified, but will keep searching and

paying money to the quacks along the way.

Thank you for your reply. I am low in the essential elements. I had

to have two hair test done by this doctor. The test from ARL stated that

these were the four-low-electrolytes and it indicated that I had exhausted

adrenals. The booklet that I received from them has suggestions on how to

build the adrenals back by supplements, diet, and life changes. I have also

been reading a lot about this on this forum. I have not been back to see

the doctor and he stated that I need to wait until my next visit before he

makes his recommendation. I am currently addressing the GI track. I also

noticed the low lithium and I do not know what that indicates and you think

this is because of mercury toxicity. I have the DAMS referral for a dentist

and I have gone to one on the list. He was not a dentist that needs to be

on the list. He has set up shop in a shed behind his house and the place of

dirty and I could go on and on. I was very glad to get out of the place and

wasted my money. I will keep looking though. I have the book " Amalgam

Illness by Andy Cutler and have read the book. That is why I did the

counting rules on the DDI hair test. I know it is not an easy process and I

will continue to look for someone to get the silver fillings and root canals

out of the mouth. That is the first step.

Again thank you for your input.

As far as I'm aware, Andy added #5 after the file

(at URL above) was written. My guess is that over time

he codified things he was thinking about results that

are " close " and turned it into a rule. I'm guessing there,

but it would make sense to me.
