RE: 2nd Hair Test results, comments welcome (update w/ chelation info)

[Guest guest]

I didn't add our chelating info last night when I posted. We are on round

three of 40mg DMSA every 4 hours. Last round she was good on but had a

horrible day the first day off, extremely irritable. We also use extra zinc

and molybdenum for the copper. Is there anything that will help her first

day off?

Hi, this is my 11yo daughters test results. There is a 4 month time span

between tests(1st test results at bottom of the page). We supplement with

Brainchild Support Spectrum II vit & minerals, c, milk thistle, taurine,

phosphatidyl choline, Houston enzymes, fish oil and a few misc. supps. (Not

all of these everyday, it is a battle some days) She is undiagnosed, but at

very minimum would be ADHD. She is not a pleasant child most days, a lot of

anger and sleep issues. We follow FG diet, try to eat organic, avoid

hydrogenated oils and limit corn syrup.

Most of the toxic elememts are lower, aluminum,arsenic, silver and tin are

up slightly.

Our big problem, the copper went down from 190 to 160. What is the

approximate time frame to lower copper levels? Her zinc level increased from

210 to 260. I hope her system is using the extra zinc and not just

eliminating it.

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
