Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 You might want to check Andy's books on how to interpret the test. People who have seriously low levels of mercury are not excreting it as normally expected. The range of normal people are excreting it and have normal levels in their hair. Most poeple I have seen with DDI tests that are toxic have seriously high mercury or abnormally low mercury. This would indicate poisoning. As well as other signs on the test, such as deranged minerals, low adrenal function,low lithium levels or elevation of other toxic metals. Not everyone who receives fillings or vaccines has a problem excreting mercury. Those people do not usually get chronically sick like us. They might however, get disease later in life from mercury exposure. So to try to make it easier to understand, that reference range of normal people refers to normal excretion of mercury with normal exposure to mercury. It doesn't in any sense mean that level is safe. No level is safe, but in our current enviornment it is physically impossible to avoid some exposure to mercury through water,air. You are mercury poisoned if you meet Andy's counting rules, or you have red levels of mercury, or almost no hair mercury, which is usually accompanied by other abnormalities on the test. A normal test will have normal minerals, normal levels or heavy metals, and a normal excretion level of mercury. If you had a test post it for interpretation. I am mercury poisoned and my hair mercury was very low. However, my minerals are all over the place, I was toxic in other metals, the sodium, potassium is messed up...thinks that indicate adrenal problems. According to what I have read from Andy, mercury is the only metal known to mess with adrenals. So it is a collaborative of signs on the hair test that indicate mercury poisoning. > > The references ranges for toxic metals at DDI are taken from thousands of samples of 'normal people' in the USA, right? > Well if almost everyone of those 'normal' people probably had mercury in their mouth whether they had symptoms or not (and were also exposed to mercury in vaccinations) how can we consider the mercury limit to be safe? > > I don't quite get it.

Dean: Would you think Hairtest 5 has abnormally low mercury? http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/hairtest.html She has all the signs and symptoms of mercury (or copper) poisoning and has very low mercury. Now she had spend the last 4 months removing mercury from her mouth and 2 months before the hair test chelating after they were out. Surely she should have more mercury in her hair? In fact she did 3 rounds of DMSA at 12.5mg first off and felt much worse after the dentist assured her all the mercury was out. She then insisted he remove a crown and she found more there. She must have pulled mercury into her body - so where is it in her hair? >You are mercury poisoned if you meet Andy's counting rules, or you >have red levels of mercury, Dean: Only red?

Hair tests tell such interesting stories. -------Hi Dean, yes you can see my hair test, but it is about 1-1/2 years old, taken before I had amalgams removed. I really need to do another one. I don't have a scanner, but think I do know somebody who does, and I'm not real computer savvy, so if this is how to do it, could you send my some instructions? I only have one copy of it, so I don't want to mail it.--------Jackie T> Messages in this topic (11) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages | Members Change settings via the Web (Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 -------That's me, very low hair mercury, only .13, and very deranged mineral transport, almost totally low profile, meeting two of Andy's counting rules. I have symptoms and can only tolerate very low doses of DMSA even after a year, so another indication of poisoning, in my opinion.-------Jackie T> Dean: Hi Jackie, Could I see your test? If so either I can put it up on the website for all to see, or perhaps you could mail it to me? It would be interesting for me to see.

When I order the tests from Direct Labs they email me the results in Acrobat/PDF format. I assume that they get it from DDI in electronic format? Yes it would be great to see the progression when you get another one. Thanks, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I wonder if I called DDI if they could/would email me a copy of my hair test, especially from that long ago? Has anyone ever requested this?-------Jackie T> Re: Re: Reference ranges -------Hi Dean, yes you can see my hair test, but it is about 1-1/2 years old, taken before I had amalgams removed.
