/was: Re: strange behaviors lately - links to DMSA chelation?/

Hi ,

I'm guessing we see the same Dr. We did a Spectracell recently

and afterward I was told that the results were for 12yrs and older.

There were no reference ranges for child of 5 yrs. I did ask around

for ref ranges, but didn't find them. Not sure how old your child

is, but you may want to consider this before you draw blood.

suggestion that perhaps eye-gouging and chin-pushing behaviors may be

calcium deficiency related? I have been seeing these behaviors lately

(past two months) increasingly, which is when we started chelating

Do you know of any other tests that I could request, that would be

comparable to Spectracell? This test will provide information that is

complete, on long term nutritional status on the cellular level, not

a snapshot only.
