hair analysis results

May 31, 2006

Here are my son's hair analysis results:

Aluminum 9.9

Antimony 0.89

Arsenic 0.066

Beryllium <0.01

Bismuth 0.015

Cadmium 0.25

Lead 0.81

Mercury 0.04

Platinum <0.003

Thallium <0.001

Thorium <0.001

Uranium 0.004

Nickel 0.08

Silver 0.09

Tin 0.14

Titanium 1.6

Our DAN! is suggesting chelation in 2-3 months. Should I do anything

else in the meantime?

I would appreciate any advice anyone has regarding these results.

Thank-you,

I assume DDI stands for Doctor's Data Inc.?That's the lab that did

the test and it was a hair elements test. Here is the rest of the

info: I hope I get it right this time!

Could you please explain the counting rules to me?

I think my doc wants to wait on chelation b/c he thinks I should

start my son on B12 shots first.

My son does not have any fillings at all. He is 2 1/2 years old with

a dx of very mild PDD and is on the GFCF diet and takes ProEFA,

Calcium with magnesium, basic nutrients plus, antioxidants, probiotic

and Sacro B. He is a very picky eater: pancakes, hotdogs, cereal,

bread, pudding, french toast, raisins, animal cookies, canned fruits.

That's about all he eats. No vegetables at all. His main concern is

no speech (makes sounds, but no actual words), which is why our doc

wants to try the B12 shots. Other minor issues are low muscle tone

and certain obsessions like going over to licence plate numbers and

wanting me to read them.

Thankyou for your advice,

nancy

much more useful so one can apply the counting rules. Why does the

amalgam dental fillings. If he has any you have to have them removed

by a mercury-free dentist using proper protocol before you can safely

chelate. Is he on any supplements? What are you currently doing?

What's his diet like? What are his most troublesome

symptoms/behaviors? How old is he? Consider identifying and

reducing/removing sources of exposure to toxins. www.danasview.net

has a list of sources of exposure. Please read the FAQs of this list

(autism treatment) to educate yourself about the various chelators and

recommended doses and dosing schedule so you'll know

,

The toxic elements don't mean as much to most of us here. We

usually try to interpret the essential elements more. However, the

mercury is very suspiciously and worryingly low.

But, if you are starting chelation, why wait 2 or 3 months? Is

there a special reason? You should be getting the supplements up to

speed in the meantime anyway. Andy has a recommended protocol you

will find in the Supplements file in the files section (at the end

of the file). Also, please consider using the AC protocol. Many

DAN!s seem to recommend a variety of protocols, with little regard

to the half-life of the chelators. They also tend to recommend very

high doses. This causes noticeable problems for a percentage of the

children.

It would help if you type in 'above' or 'below' the 50th percentile

for the essential elements.

Hi ,

The counting rules are explained in the FAQs of this list. For mercury toxic

people their hair mercury is often low because they can't excrete it, even via

the hair. Instead mercury causes disordered mineral transport so the

essentials are all out of whack. Andy Cutler, who has a PhD in Chemistry, and

wrote " Amalgam Illness " and " Hair Test Interpreting " came up with the counting

rules to help people determine if they have disordered mineral transport (and

hence high probability of mercury toxicity). One also needs to know if each

essential element is over or under 50%. So, for example zinc would be over and

cobalt would be under. Oh, by the way, we refer to pink as red.
