Re: Hair test results - llamabb

[Guest guest]

It would be helpful to have some more information.

Are hair tests 25 and 26 a married couple? Is hair

test 27 the biological child of the couple?

Did your 1998 DDI hair test show any silver? Would you be

able to post that test? Was it an " all low " test?

I think your issues are mercury, silver, and lead. You are

clearly very toxic based on the hair test, symptoms, and

history. Chelation should help. You will need to do a lot

of it, with DMSA and ALA, with alkalinization of the urine

to pH of 7 or greater. If you currently have symptoms that

doctors have told you would be helped by anticonvulsants,

you may want to consider them. Chelation does tend to

stir up symptoms.

Hair test 26 does not appear to be mercury toxic. He appears

to have a mild copper toxicity. It sounds as though he does not

have symptoms consistent with either copper or silver toxicity,

although I wonder about the global amnesia - was there a

precipitating event (or toxin exposure)? Does he have any

health issues at all - vision problems, emotional issues,

digestive, sleep, anything? Is he the picture of health?

How often did hair test 26 and 27 use the hot tub - once a week,

once a month, once a year - and for what duration did they have

that frequency of exposure? How often do you use it and for

how long?

Hair test 27 probably had a toxic load from birth due to your

body burden (I am presuming this is your son?), and has retained

more of other toxins since then due to this. He clearly needs

chelation as well, and my comments regarding your chelation apply

to him as well. It would be reasonable to consider psychiatric

medications if his symptoms are causing problems in his/your lives.

Also, chelation will likely stir up symptoms and he and you need

to think about that and be prepared.

Did he have symptoms and problems from birth? Or did things

become more serious at a certain point in his life?

I have more to say, but I think I can make better comments if

you answer my questions above.

I am not an expert, and my interpretation will be based on what I

have learned mainly from Andy's book. Andy does consult privately

and you may want to contact him for additional help.

**llamabb** Yes. 25 and 26 are married 33 years. 27 is biological

child of 25 and 26.

**llamabb** Silver was low at 0.04. Only mercury edged out of the

green zone at 1.3. In the essential elements, everything was low

except zinc, vanadium, iodine, and sulfur. I will try to get it

scanned today so it can be posted.**

**llamabb** It is hard to say about the global amnesia. I have not

been able to determine if there was dental work preceding or what.

The chiropractor found that he had cervical vertebrae out of place

when he went for an adjustment the next day. For a guy his age I

would say he is the picture of health. Occasionally he sleep walks.

He had slightly elevated cholesterol. He has managed to keep his

weight down and is in good shape.**

**llamabb** 26 used the hot tub two or three times a week. However,

not in the summer when it was hot. Also 26 did not use the hot tub at

all for about five weeks before the hair test being out of town.

Duration when used is about 10 minutes. 27 used the hot tub perhaps

10 times total in the six months preceding the hair test.**

**llamabb** 27 did not start childhood immunizations until after two

years old. He had trouble learning to read yet was identified as

intellectually gifted. He had vision therapy for problems related to

tracking and other issues. He could spell words orally before he

learned to read. From an early age he would be very focused on

working on a particular project. He was not hyper active or anything

like that. He had four years in a machine shop and then worked in a

place where he was exposed to broken bulbs that contained mercury. He

sometimes handled them and was near where they were dumped into a

garbage bin. He didn't know the danger at the time. It was after

that that he really started having problems. He has trouble touching

metal, particularly aluminum.**

**llamabb** Thanks so much for your comments. I really appreciate

another brain on this. Actually, I am realizing that for the first

time I am able to track through a post like this and coherently type

in comments/answers. This is a big improvement for me after only

three rounds of chelation. I hope I can look forward to more days

like this one.**
