New to group also DDI Hair Analysis - Andy?

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, my name is Mona and my son , age 5, was diagnosed ASD 2.5

yrs. ago.

I turned to the internet because I had so little information from the

pediatricians. After much research I decided to put on the diet.

(Casein, Gluten). With in a few weeks I noticed a great deal of difference. No

enzymes, he is now taking Super Nu Thera. had a reaction to the diet early

on. Massive yeast die off. Diarrhea for 10 days, very, very bad smelly poop.

His bowl movement has been good after that.

He is finally starting to speak. we have a few issues left but overall great

progress. Still very active and hyper.

I suspect yeast might be an issue again. He is doing a few odd things.

He is squinting his eyes sometimes and spinning objects.

I think that we are ready for Chelation.

I did see a DAN pediatrician early on, he is in Roseville, CA. Good doctor but

I fear that he does understand certain issues even though he has a son whom is

Autistic.

Andy, I will call .

I finally have the lab results from Great Plains, DDI hair Toxic Elements.

Andy, what is the difference between " toxic elements " and " hair elements "

from DDI ? I have the Toxic Elements report.

Should I still post it ?

Thank You,

Mona

I am not Andy, but I reply anyway, as Andy doesn't seem to be able to spend much

time with this list these days.

As I understand it, the toxic hair test doesn't give you all the " essential and

other elements " you need those to apply the counting rules for mercury. The

toxic elements would tell you about all the other toxic metals providing there

is no mercury messing up the mineral house hold in the body (which you either

don't know as you can't do the counting rules or if mercury shows high in the

toxic elements you only know that all the other results might not be reliable).

I would still look at the toxic metals which are high and try to figure out

potential sources of exposure and eliminate them.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a chelation agent, and like all chelation

agents it is dangerous to use it if you don't give it " often

enough " . (For ALA this is every 3 hours). That's why. There

is also an " ALA " that is an essential fatty acid--- that is

unrelated, and okay to eat or give to kids. (It is in oil.)

> Here are the results for the toxic elements anyways, any comments?

it is the " colors " and percentile that are usually used to

tell what is " toxic " . It looks to me like all the metals

listed are within the ref range except for uranium? I'm

not sure I'm right about that. Anyway, I just look at the

" colors " with red meaning " toxic " .

good wishes,

Moria
