You're welcome.

hair

interpretation book?

Yes, " Amalgam Illness " and " Hair Test Interpretation " . More info at

www.noamalgam.com

I like both books, for different reasons.

> Did you use ALA only?

No. Although our hair tests did not show high lead, the tests were all low and

had

deranged mineral transport, therefore, my understanding is the toxic element

levels may

not accurately reflect the body burden. We are renovating the old house we live

in.

Although I feel we've been very careful and the kids' blood lead levels have

been checked, I

think we can make a case for using DMSA, if not every round, maybe once a month,

sometime along the road. I haven't decided yet.

Besides, I had my amalgams removed recently and could not start ALA until 3-4

months

after removal. So, the kids and I started on DMSA only. Now we are all doing

DMSA +

ALA. Also, DMSA, per Andy (see detox protocol in Files), can accelerate detox

when used

with ALA and can help suppress side effects. We may at some point use ALA only,

or as I

mentioned, DMSA once a month. I plan to run another set of hair tests at the

end of the

year.

I think we're lucky in that we're moderately poisoned, healthy, and we haven't

had any big

problems. More poisoned = more side effects.

going to try that soon, but we are dealing with other things (bacteria, yeast,

etc) and if I

introduce things at the same time, we have BIG problems.

Many people prefer to avoid multi's and introduce one supplement at a time.

There is

more info on this in the Supplement File in the Files Section. Enzymes

(Peptizyde, Zyme

Prime and No Fenol) helped us get a handle on dysbiosis in my younger dd. We

are using

Candex as part of our yeast protocol now. More info at www.enzymestuff.com

Also, if you didn't know already, you can search the archives of A-M using

www.Onibasu.com, being sure to click on " " . This has been a

valuable tool

for us. Also check out the Andy Index on Moria's web page (see the Files

section).
