Re: New to the group...hair sample interpretation please!

August 24, 2006

,

Hi! Welcome to the group. Was this a DDI hair elements test? We need all the

results in order to apply the counting rules. Mercury generally doesn't show as

high in mercury toxic people, instead it causes disordered mineral transport.

We need all results as well as color and for the essentials whether they're over

or under 50%.

Please read the FAQs of this list. Consider identifying and reducing/removing

sources of exposure to the toxins you mention. www.danasview.net/metals has a

useful list of sources of exposure.

Hello!

I'm new to the group. My 4 year old dd has autism and we just

received the results of her hair sample testing from her DAN doctor

and would love for some help interpreting the results!

No mercury or lead was present.

Her iron levels are fine.

She's low in zinc, sodium, magnesium and calcium.

The six toxins present are as follows --

Antimony - normal is 0.016 - hers is 0.275

Arsenic - normal is 0.080 - hers is 0.155

Cadmium - normal is 0.022 - hers is 0.090

Gadolinium - normal is 0.0005 - hers is 0.0082

Tin - normal is 0.149 - hers is 1.105

Uranium - normal is 0.0057 - hers is 0.0186

We're supposed to start chelation with PCA Rx in 3 weeks.

Do you know if it will pull all of these toxins? And how long will

it take before we see results? How long will it take to chelate all

of these out of her? And will chelation be successful -- in other

words, are some of the effects of the exposure to these toxins

irreversible?

Thanks in advance!

If you want the hair test interpreted, please post as described

here (you can use the template at the bottom of this page):

http://home.earthlink.net/~moriam/HOW_TO_hair_test.html

A hair test shows what metals are being excreted in the hair.

Mercury and lead can be present at toxic levels in the body,

but not excreted in the hair.

A properly interpreted hair test can reveal mercury, but we

need to see the entire test as explained in the link above.

> Her iron levels are fine.

Iron on the hair test does not reflect body levels of iron.

> She's low in zinc, sodium, magnesium and calcium.

Generally, these don't reflect body levels, either.

> Tin - normal is 0.149 - hers is 1.105

> Uranium - normal is 0.0057 - hers is 0.0186

Antimony, arsenic, and tin are often elevated in mercury toxicity.

I would not recommend this. PCA-Rx has unpredictable results and

they don't tell you how much ALA is in it. Might as well use

regular ALA - lots cheaper and you know what dose you are giving.

We didn't really expect to find mercury anyway...as she's never been

however. I'll be sure to read the link you sent to limit exposure!

With 4 essentials in the red she meets the counting rules which means disordered

mineral transport which mean high likelihood of mercury toxicity. Please try to

identify and reduce/remove sources of exposure to toxics, they should be in the

green not all in yellow and red. Check www.danasview.net/metals for sources of

exposure.

Even if she was nevere vaccinated, but you had/have any mercury amalgam dental

fillings (I assume she has none) she would have ended up with some of that load

because mercury passes the placenta. I think Andy also came up with counting

rules for Genova hair tests back when Genova was called Great Plains(?) or Great

Plains(?). See if you can do a search of this list for Great Plains (?) or

Great Smokies(?) Counting rules or post another message asking others where to

find them.

,

Since this is a Genova (GSDL) test, I would need more

information to interpret (it's a bit different from a DDI

test). The main thing is the ranges are different - a

result is not considered red unless it goes all the way to

the end of the result plot. Using DDI test rules, this

test would meet the counting rules, but it may not using

the the modified rules for GSDL.

So I need to know if any of the red range results are all

the way to the end of the red zone (touching the end).

Looks like at least potassium and lithium are touching

the left side since they are not detectable. Please

tell me if any other essentials, or any of the toxics

are all the way to the edge of the plot.

Also for the under/over designation, you should consider

50% to be a line straight down the middle of the result

plots.

Okay...I think I've got it now!

Also...will chelation remove all of these toxins and reverse any

damage done? Or is some irreversible?

(Genova Diagnostics Elemental Hair Analysis)

Toxic Elements -- There is no " green " section available on the

chart....just yellow and red

Aluminum - 11.7 - <- 17.3 (mid-yellow)

Antimony - 0.275 - <- 0.016 (high - to the edge - red)

Arsenic - 0.155 - <- 0.080 (mid-red)

Barium - 0.21 - <-1.70 (low yellow)

Bismuth - 0.106 - <-0.178 (mid-yellow)

Cadmium - 0.090 - <-0.022 (high - to the edge - red)

Gadolinium - 0.0082 - <-0.0005 (high - to the edge - red)

Lead - 0.292 - <-0.700 (low yellow)

Mercury - 0.07 - <-1.32 (low yellow)

Nickel - 0.09 - <-0.55 (low yellow)

Rhodium - <dl - <-0.005 (low yellow)

Rubidium - 0.006 - <-0.040 (low yellow)

Thallium - <dl - <-0.004 (low yellow)

Tin - 1.105 - <-0.149 (high - to the edge - red)

Uranium - 0.0186 - <-0.0057 (mid-red)

Ratios

Ca/Mg - Outside Range - 32 (Reference Range 5 - 29)

Ca/P - Inside Range - 1 (Reference Range 1-9)

Nutrient Elements - The color scheme is red - green - yellow - red

All of her reds below are in the first " low red "

Calcium - 129 - red - under

Chromium - 0.24 - green - under

Cobalt - 0.005 - green - under

Copper - 7 - red - under

Iron - 18.2 - yellow - over

Magnesium - 4 - red - under

Manganese - 0.18 - under

Molybdenum - 0.11 - green - under

Phosphorous - 123 - green - under

Selenium - 0.64 - green - under

Sodium - 4 - red - under

Strontium - 0.12 - green - under

Sulfur - 47,910 - green - under

Vanadium - 0.082 - green - over

Zinc - 41 - red - under

For the last two, the color scheme is green - yellow - red

Both of hers are at the lowest edge of the green

Lithium - <dl - green - under

Potassium - 3 - green - under

Remind her about the uranium on this test....so she is not freaked

out too!

Based on my experience with my son, chelation removes the metals. The

damage that has been done, required supplements to reverse/correct.

So far, none of it [that I can tell] has been irreversible.

> Selenium - 0.64 - green - under

Adding this was very beneficial for my son.
