Guest guest Posted December 19, 2002 Report Share Posted December 19, 2002 Ingestion of fish or sea food or other tainted food recently and possible some mercury in teeth? Ion test by metametrix I just got an ion test by metametrix, it says I am deficient in some stuff but, they also checked for mercury(unchallenged) and there reference range was <0.005 and I got 0.001 for mercury, its been like half an year since my last exposure, my question is why would it be still in my blood wouldn't all the mercury be in my brain by now? I was going to proceed in ALA but now worried cause there seems to be some in my blood? Any comments would be helpful, and is 0.001 a lot in blood when the test was unchallenged?

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Also consider inhalation from air pollution such as being downwind from coal burning power plants, broken florescent lights, etc. I suspect that in some areas it is impossible to get away from being exposed to mercury. lindaj@...

With 1/2 year since last exposure, it is unlikely that ALA would be a problem. If you are concerned about it, start with DMSA or DMPS.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Of course it wouldn't be pointless. You need to support your liver, though. I live in Alaska and the air quality is bad in arctic temps cause exhaust just hangs in the air.

That isn't much. It is OK to use ALA now. Andy. .. . . . . . . . . . ... . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
