Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 I contacted a former doctor of mine and requested a copy of a hair analysis that he ordered in 1998. BTW, this doctor worked in a very " high profile " alternative medicine office in New York City. At the time, he told me there was no reason to have my amalgams removed. Knowing what I know now, it looks to my newbie eye like he was dead wrong. I plan to have a new hair analysis done through DDI within the next week, but I'd really appreciate comments on these numbers. Is this what is meant in the counting rules as minerals " scattered " all over? This elemental hair analysis done by Great Smokies, not DDI.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Scattered can mean high or low. You've got as many low as normal. Ideally we have all in the normal range. Does the test you had done show colors and actual numbers as well as reference ranges? I think it was GSDL for which Andy also had counting back before they changed their test. Yours should be old enough to apply them.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Hi, I had been focused on the DDI tests on the counting rules page. In the meantime, I found Andy's rules for interpreting a Great Smokies test. Since this test is from 1998, it is before things changed, so his rules apply. According to what I come up with this " profile " is highly suspicious for mercury poisoning! You know, it still amazes me that my doctor knew enough to test me for this, but didn't have a clue as to how to interpret the results. This test was 5 years ago, so that's an additional 5 years of unnecessary suffering. All told, I've spent thousands of dollars for the privilege of not getting well -- not only with this guy, but with others as well. I know it's common, but sometimes it just blows my mind.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Was this a DDI test or some other lab? If it was DDI hair elements rather than toxic elements we also need essential elements info. We need reference ranges (and colors if this test has colors) to have any idea how to interpret this. Keep in mind that a hair elements is much more useful so one can apply the counting rules. Why does the doc want to wait to chelate? I presume your son has NO mercury amalgam dental fillings. If he has any you have to have them removed by a mercury-free dentist using proper protocol before you can safely chelate. Is he on any supplements? What are you currently doing? What's his diet like? What are his most troublesome symptoms/behaviors? How old is he? Consider identifying and reducing/removing sources of exposure to toxins. www.danasview.net has a list of sources of exposure. Please read the FAQs of this list (autism treatment) to educate yourself about the various chelators and recommended doses and dosing schedule so you'll know if the doc is suggesting a safe and appropriate protocol. S S Here are my son's hair analysis results:<BR> Aluminum 9.9<BR> Antimony 0.89<BR> Arsenic 0.066<BR> Beryllium <0.01<BR> Bismuth 0.015<BR> Cadmium 0.25<BR> Lead 0.81<BR> Mercury 0.04<BR> Platinum <0.003<BR> Thallium <0.001<BR> Thorium <0.001<BR> Uranium 0.004<BR> Nickel 0.08<BR> Silver 0.09<BR> Tin 0.14<BR> Titanium 1.6<BR> Our DAN! is suggesting chelation in 2-3 months. Should I do anything <BR> else in the meantime? <BR> I would appreciate any advice anyone has regarding these results. <BR> Thank-you,<BR> <BR> _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web!
