Ths the manganese may really be low and giving him some might be a good thing to try. The more interesting aspect is how LOW the mercury is. Everyone does get exposed to soem nowadays. With mercury that low perhaps his body just holds on to it - this is the cardinal finding in the Holmes et al autistic baby hair paper. Based on this I'd suggest you try a few cycles of chelation and see what happens. If nothing happens, look into other issues. At 3.2 you should see a pretty prompt response to DMSA or ALA if they are going to help. > POTENTIALLY TOXIC ELEMENTS > element result ref range color > mg/g > ============================================== > mercury <0.03 < 1.4 no line > > ESSENTIAL AND OTHER ELEMENTS > element result ref range color under/over 50% > ====================================================== > Calcium 175 125-370 green under 50% > Magnesium 14 12-30 green under 50% > Sodium 100 12-90 yellow over 50% > Potassium 120 12-40 yellow over 50% Oh, yea, kinda stressed out too. Some kind of adrenal support might help - adrenal cortex extract, licorice, other herbs, simple stress reduction. Andy . . . .. . . . . .

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2004 Report Share Posted May 25, 2004 Andy Thank you very much foryour time.I am working on your suggestions. I guessI need to find a pediatrician who knowandwilling to workwith chelating my son. One question I have though I was very worried about the vey high arsenic,antimony and lithium as well as potassium in the findings. Do you think it is ok then? > antimony 0.13 .066 yellow > arsenic 0.1 .08 yellow > uranium .07 .06 yellow > Potassium 120 12-40 yellow over 50% > Lithium 0.036 0.007-0.023 yellow 0ver 50% Sincerely.
