Re: hair elements test result

[Guest guest]

Seema I don;t have him meeting any of the counting rules I don't have him

coming even close. But I would post to A-M list and get it checked again.

However, the Lead and Mercury readings would concern me. I've never quite

fathomed this out, but it would seem like he has either had recent exposure OR

supplementation has kicked started him into detoxing himself. If you haven;t

already checked out Dana's links for sources of exposure, you should do that and

make sure.

Anyways, it looks like it could be good news - but please check on AM

MAndi in UK

the counting rules are a bit of a waste of time imo.

its important to know minerals being supplemented to make sense of a

hair test.

your sons hair test says different things depending on what is being

supplemented.

i hope lead is not being supplemented, but you would want to look at

sources!

selenium and lithium would be of benefit and also there is a

possiblity of b-12 malabsorbtion. iodine seems low.

Thanks andrew and mandi

My son doesn't take any supplement i wanted to start but started enzymes so

didn't wanted to do all together also wanted to do hair test so didn't wanted

to interfere with test results

I am not clear how to read results as i was worried about lead/mercury more

it seems from mandis post more mercury is good but form andrews post more lead

is not please help me here!

also more calcium magnesium in hair means good or bad?

...selenium and lithium would be of benefit and also there is a

possibility of b-12 malabsorbtion. iodine seems low.......

Can you please explain more what do you mean by above

thanks in advance

seema

you really need to think about where the lead is coming from.

the lead could mess things so that mercuy is retained then mercury

stops the body from excreting mercury or lead.

calcium and magnesium like that may mean impaired adrenal function or

adrenal-pituary axis or something like that which mercury seem to

mess up well.

lithium, selenium, iodine are on my web page under 'minerals i take'

and lithium and iodine. just ask if it seems confusing.

members.tripod.com/mueller_ranges/links/compendium/compendium.html

cobalt comes from b-12 so if cobalt is low and this is a true reading

then that would indicate low b-12.

however b-12 is best got from dairy and liver imo and a healed gut to

tolerate the dairy i guess.

selenium helps detoxify lead and mercury.

So far as I understand it, the reference range is based on the

age/weight [or something like that] of the child/adult being tested.

So your child might be different age/weight of the example.

> aluminum 8.9 < 8.0 yellow

> antimony 0.085 <0.066 yellow

> lead 2.3 <1.0 yellow

> mercury 1.4 < 0.40 yellow

I would consider removing current sources of exposure

http://www.danasview.net/metals.htm

> Calcium 1050 160-500 red

over 50%

> Magnesium 180 12-50 red

over 50%

This may mean he is not properly absorbing the cal/mag.

> Selenium 0.67 0.95-1.7

yellow under

My son improved when I added this supplement.
