Yep. Try to identify and reduce/remove sources of exposure to:

aluminum 15 < 7.0 Yellow

arsenic 0.11 < 0.060 Yellow

bismuth 4.8 < 0.10 Red

uranium 1.4 < 0.060 Red

titanium 0.98 < 1.0 Red

www.danasview.net had a list of sources of exposure.

Do you have any mercury amalgam dental fillings?

Note: I've been taking anti-oxidants (just added mag/calcium/zinc so

that's why my mag is low). I take C, B, E, Milk Thistle, Selenium,

Chromium and 90mgs of Armour for my thyroid. 41 year old female.

Looks like I have more problems that 'just' mercury (I'd like to have

mercury feedback and any other). Thank you,

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply. I get my last filling removed on Monday and am

planning to start maybe 50mgs of the DMSA next weekend and then add the

ALA in few months. A friend of mine said I meet the cocounting rules

and have a 98% chance of mercury poisoning - but even without this I

know I'm mercury toxic.

I've also read that some of the other metals toxcity will go down once

I begin to get the mercury out. I don't know where I'm getting arsenic

since I've had bottled water for a couple years now. I notice everyone

here talks about this a lot (getting good water) but nobody seems to

mention that we can absort more toxins in the bath/shower everyday than

drinking. I plan to get a shower filter as I'm thinking this may be a

toxicity source. Thanks again, Rose/Daisy

Hi Dana, I read and printed your list. Thanks for that. You don't

have anything down for uranium but doing a search I noticed that the

DMSA (and ALA?) seem to help a little with Uranium and other metals

(some more than others). I came across a few posts that discussed

the chelation of mercury helping the other metal issues. I do hope

that is the case (prolly varies from person to person however).

I'm mainly concerned about the uranium. I have no idea how I got high

bismarth and haven't done a search on that yet. Also the arsenic and

aluminum. I've already replaced my baking soda and stopped drinking

out of cans of pop a year or so ago. I also drink bottled water. I

plan to get a shower filter too as I get the idea that some of this

might be due to water toxicity (I have heard multiple times that we

absorb more chemicals from our daily bath/shower than we do

drinking). This may be an unexpected contaminant?

50 mg might be too much for a first round. It depends on your weight,

but try to start at 1/8 of your weight in lbs. It usually does not help

to take too much.

March 25, 2006

Your hair test does not meet the counting rules. That means the

levels of the toxics are all meaningful, so you should definitely

remove sources of exposure. ALA is the best chelator for arsenic,

DMSA or DMPS for bismuth.

To reduce uranium, take an iron supplement. Uranium gets elevated

when your iron is low, and taking iron will decrease the uranium.

(Hair iron does not reflect body levels - if you want to test

iron, get a blood test.)

When uranium is present in rocks and soil, it gets into the

water supply and produce grown in the area. Uranium is also

present in yellow ceramic glazes.

For us, aluminum, tin, nickel, arsenic, chromium have been high and

returned to normal range with chelation. To truly avoid aluminum, we

have eliminated any outside source of baked goods[including mixes,

unless it says alum free on the box] as well as cans, foils,

containers etc.

I may start with 25mgs though I'm pretty big due to hypo-thyroid,

toxicity and a life-time of bad eating (which has been improving

significantly the last 5 years and esp. the last year).

Thanks for your advice, Rosie/Daisy

Thanks for this advice , very affirming. We've recently gone

organic (up from 25% to 50% and now probably 80-85%) We read all

packages we bring in the house now. I also replaced my baking powder

with the aluminum free kind recently.

I've been off all canned soda for about a year (though I wonder about

canned veggies). Most cans left in our house are soups and veggies.

I try to find glass when I can (for my pasta sauces), organic jams

and nut butters. We also make lots of homemade soups.

Whole Foods is a great source of reasonably bulk purchases (though

many other things are about double the price of normal). Their 365

brand is okay too actually. We got 2 big organic heirloom tomatoes

today (I am very careful about prices so I must have misread the

sign) and ended up spending $8 for them! We almost died (we live 45

minutes one-way from thew whole foods but I have a dentist appt and

sauna appt Monday and will probably have to return those bad boys.)

Many thanks, Rose/Daisy

Hi Stephanic,

Thanks for your reply. Someone here who has been cheleting herself

and her son for almost a year and a half and participating here said

I do meet the counting rules! ha.

My intuition tells me I'm very mercury toxic because of the huge

exposure to dental amalgams at a young age, the replacing of severel

fillings without the holistic protocol over the years and the amount

of vaccines I've had. And, I have almost all the classic symptoms

(hypothyroid, chronic candita, multiple miscarriages, high

choleterol, extreme fatigue and exhaustion and etc.).

Regardless, I hear you saying I need the ALA and DMSA (for the

arsenic and bismuth) so I guess it's a non-sequiter what is is for

arsenic/bismuth or mercury? Cheleting for one metal toxicity will

seemingly help the others. If I don't meet the counting rules, does

that me don't have to wait 3 months to start the ALA? I probably

will just to be safe. The counting rules may be off because I've been

supplementing some of the substances for the last 3-12 months (for my

hypothyroidism and other health concerns). Turns out most of the

supplements I've been taking are the ones I see recommended here. I

just added calcium, mag and zinc in one supplement the last couple

week (which I turned out to be low in).

Thanks much for your time and opinion.
