Re: Should I start Chelation---DDI hair test results. Andy or others?

[Guest guest]

They are dependant on age and gender.

Dagmar.

Compared this to some other results posted by others, some of the

reference range are different. Why is it so?

[Guest guest]

This is a very normal looking test result.

I would suggest TRYING chelation if there are no amalgam fillings, but

if it doesn't obviously help after 5 weekends, give it up and look for

what else is going on. That is to say it seems unlikely she has

mercury, but since there is a good way to deal with mercury problems it

is best to be absolutely sure before going onward.

Consider removing sources of exposure

http://www.danasview.net/metals.htm

I know a few kids who are primarily antimony/arsenic toxic, who

recovered when the sources of exposure were removed.

If we try chelation.

What would be the chelator to start with?

DMSA or ALA or both?

She's having a yeast problem at the moment. Not sure whether I should

start now.

Would you please comment?

I'd try to identify and reduce/eliminate expsoure to these and consider

chelating them. Dana has a good list on her website of sources of exposure.
