Re: urine tests differ

[Guest guest]

Jenin,

I'm not sure if you're referring to hair tests as well, but up and

down results for mercury excretion in urine would be very normal.

Andy has explained how mercury excretion during chelation peaks and

dips. This is one of the reasons that testing can be so iffy.

As for hair, if it is going up and down a great deal I would be

surprised as excretion through hair is obviously going to be slower.

Most people don't hair test more than every six months because of this.

This is pretty typical during the process. Remember, he may have dumped a bunch

the night before or the night after.

[ ] urine tests differ

We are on td-dmps. My son is 10 yrs old. when we do urine and hair

tests, his hair shows more mercury being excreted than the urine. The

odd thing is that the amount differes every few months. For instance,

one month we take the urine and hair to the lab, the metals are high,

but a few months later, the amount excreted is much lower, than

another few months after that, the metals are back up again. Why could

that be happening?

thanks guys
