RE: Just took blood today - what next?

[Guest guest]

If her fillings are metal-looking- have them removed at once. Call the

dentist to find out.

What is the purpose of the blood work?

[ ] Just took blood today - what next?

My daughter is 7 and is PDD-NOS. Very verbal, loving, likes to be

touched. She's on the smallest dose of Zoloft in the morning and

25mg of Seroquil at night to help her sleep. She has a full-time aid

at school. Doing very well and has made great gains in the last year.

We do believe that she was pushed over the edge by the vaccines as

she regressed dramatically afterwards.

We're getting ready to try melatonin instead of seroquil.

Anyone else used melatonin successfully?

We also have an appointment to check for allergies.

We're going to start chelation if the blood comes up with a lot of

mercury or heavy elements.

Only trouble is that we just had a bunch of dental work done. Root

canals and fillings (she had to be sedated). So I suppose she

might have mercury in the fillings...something we didn't know about

prior to researching chelating.

So my question is this: How do we interperate the forthcoming blood

test results? What are the normal tolerences for these metals?

Ceilings? Ratios to watch for? etc etc.

Thanks in advance!

Seroquel is not a sleeping pill. It is an antipsychotic medication.

If the doctor told you it is a sleeping pill you need a new doctor

right away.

About half the people in the world with sleep problems. It is quite

popular because it works well.

I would strongly suggest you learn a lot more because it won't come up

that way in 99% of toxic children whose only hope for lasting

imrpovement is chelation.

Look in her mouth. If they are silver colored, they have mercury in

them.

Your docotr ordered the wrong test. The blood test is irrelevant and

uninformative. In addition the dental work will confuse the issue - no

matter how it comes back you'll go nuts worrying about if it is real or

due to the dentistry.

Some people are very sensitive, some quite insensitive. it is more a

matter of individual sensitivity than of amount.

See http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_hair_test.html for a

discussion of how to test for mercury properly.

You are welcome.

Just wanted to say to the original post-er that for my son, I had

done the blood test route before I " knew " better, and yes, for him

his mercury levels were all " normal " . When we did do the hair test,

it did show classic disordered mineral transport per Andy's help on

analyzing it (see the file that Andy told you about for more info on

that). So we did end up doing chelation and he improved. So yes,

please ignore the blood test results. If I had taken those results

as " he's fine " then we would have never known otherwise! He was not

fine!
