Re: Re: High in aluminum & antimony/BISMUTH?

Thanks Dana.

I can't make a connection at all to bismuth. Anyone ever looked into this one

and come up with something? Maybe I'll check our water just to see, as this

would be an obvious source. This is what Dana's site has:

Environmental sources: Used in solders, a variety of other alloys, metallurgical

additives, medications, and in atomic research. In the early 1990's, research

began on the evaluation of bismuth as a nontoxic replacement for lead in such

uses as ceramic glazes, fishing sinkers, food processing equipment,

free-machining brasses for plumbing applications, lubricating greases, and shot

for waterfowl hunting.

Sometimes yes. Sometimes hair will show high because the body is not

absorbing and retaining the nutrient. Other times it is high because

the body has too much. Depends on the mineral.

This was discussed quite a bit recently on [Mercury and Autism] . Seems

someone said it was in makeup and certain medicines?? Maybe do a search of

their archives and see what exactly was said. I have trouble getting onto

board as my phone lines are very noisy.

My son also has high bismuth and aluminum. Not found the source here either.

He doesn't come in contact with most of those items that would cause those

issues.

Don't forget that aluminum is commonly found in over the counter

stomach remedies--Malox and Mylanta. It's also in Carafate (a

medicine that GI docs will prescribe a lot).
