Re: Mercury in yellow area, but does not meet counting rules

Consider removing sources of current exposure

> Calcium 190 160- 500 Green Under 50%

> Magnesium 10 12- 50 Yellow Under 50%

Add cal/mag, especially mag.

> Copper 10 9.0- 30 Green Under 50%

> Zinc 82 110- 190 Yellow Under 50%

I would consider adding a little zinc, see if you notice any improvement.

> Selenium 0.99 0.95- 1.7 Green Under 50%

This really is not that low, but my son improved when I added

selenium, so you can consider that and see if you notice anything.

from my layman's perspective, it sounds like your son has

normal mineral transport and elevated mercury, which means he

is mercury toxic but not severely. his hair test seems consistent

with what you say his symptoms are. i also had normal mineral

transport, but my mercury was in the red all the way to the top

which means i am much more toxic.

but i would definitely have andy or moria look at it. if they don't

respond on list, i would suggest emailing them privately.

just my two cents

son (6 years old) from DDI today. It does not meet Andy's

counting rules, but mercury is in the yellow range ( and only

mercury is in the yellow area, all the others are in green area).

What does this mean? Is my son mercury toxic or not? What

else should I do with this report?

I concur with the comments of (post 108773).

It is sorta kinda maybe toxic.

they are all " green " (except merc)

You could certainly try chelating for the mercury.

> Total Toxic Representation is in

nothing beyond what the individual toxic elements said.

Actually, that seems a bit weird to me.

I don't know.

However the sodium/potassium/calcium/magnesium pattern

fits what Andy says is suspicious for an adrenal problem,

so you could follow up with tests for that.

well, okay, that is close with the other 2.

If it was just 3 I would not think that was close.

I would think you could certainly consider TRYING it.

I would not be at all surprised if it helps some.

you are welcome, yes that was me.

***Can't answer the question about chelation but problems learning to

read, with gross motor skill, with fine motor skill could be problems

with vision-the eyes not working right even if vision checks out ok.

Check with a vision therapy center and have that looked at.
