Re: Hair Elements Test Interpretation - Long

[Guest guest]

Hi Greg,

Welcome to the list. Consider identifying and reducing/removing sources of

exposure to the following. Check www.danasview.net/metals for info about

sources of exposure.

aluminum --------16 -----------<8.0 ------------yellow

antimony --------0.11 --------<0.066 ----------yellow

arsenic ---------0.29 --------<0.080 ----------red

lead ------------1.1 ----------<1.0 ------------yellow

mercury ---------0.6 ----------<0.40 -----------yellow

nickel ----------0.57 ---------<0.40 -----------yellow

tin -------------0.58 ---------<0.30 -----------yellow

titanium --------1.6 ----------<1.0 ------------yellow

Consider supplementing zinc if you aren't already.

Dear All,<br><br>I've been lurking for a while ... been trying to start

chelating my son <br>but either I haven't got my act together or he's been sick.

Since his <br>initial hair test, we have been supplementing him with CLO (Nordic

<br>Naturals 3ml) and half a scoop of Lee Silsby ASD multivite & minerals

<br>w/o Vit A. First hair test was on 17th June 2005, Second on 16th Nov

<br>2005 and the last one on 6th Sept 2006. He is now 17 kg - about 37.5 lbs

<br>and turning 3 this month. He was diagnosed to be PDD(NOS) in March 2005,

<br>and he has improved so much so that his speech therapist thinks that

<br>they would classify him as Asperger's now, and she has problems setting

<br>goals for him. I've tried to look at his most recent hair test and it

<br>doesn't seem to meet any rules:<br><br>Rule 1 = 16 (<=5) - No.<br>Rule 2 = 7

(<=5) No.<br>Rule 3 = 3 (>=4) No, but 1 less<br>Rule 4 = 14 (<=11) No.<br>Rule 5

- 2 or more 1 short - No.<br><br>So the hair test is normal but

unusual.What I don't understand is why <br>the Arsenic is rising? Exposure? His

Mercury excretion has been dropping <br>- we have removed all seafood from his

diet, mainly GFCF, drinking <br>Lundberg's Organic Drink Rice. I think I have to

start chelation soon, <br>but is there any modifications to his supplements I

should consider?<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br>Greg<br><br>In reverse

Greg,

We have never, even from the beginning had a hair test meet the counting

rules, not once, prettiest, nicest little hair tests you have ever seen.

Even when the metals started pouring out, no counting rules have ever been

met.

We got good behavior and improvement with supplements also, but the mercury

that made it's way into her organs was still there, perhaps waiting for the

day it would make her bipolar or cause MS or Alzheimer's.

IMO, do 5-7 rounds and see what you get.

He needs more than this for chelation - especially zinc, magnesium,

vit C and E a few times per day, milk thistle, B complex....

Some of these will be in the multi formula, but check the supplement

file for recommended doses.

He was excreting a LOT of mercury on the first hair test and did

not meet the counting rules. By my reading of Andy's HTI book,

that suggests a person who is not susceptible to mineral

transport derangement. That means he might never meet the

counting rules. (Not saying it's impossible, though.)

However, the red high mercury on the first test means he had

a lot of mercury then, and if you haven't chelated, there is

no reason to think it is gone. There's enough evidence

of lead to opt for DMSA, adding ALA after a few rounds. See

the Files for more on how to chelate safely using frequent,

low doses.

Consistent over all three hair tests are signs of excess

adrenaline and blood sugar problems. He could really

benefit from adrenal cortex extract (that's cortex only,

not whole adrenal extract) and a low glycemic diet (frequent

protein snacks, no sugar/fruit, low glycemic food choices).

He may be hyperthyroid and thyroid testing is a good idea.

His zinc status has improved, but he needs more - see the

recommendations for dosage in the supplement file. With

yellow low magnesium, both magnesium and taurine are recommended

(HTI book, p. 251). Looks like his molybdenum level has come

up to a toxic level and you'd be wise to remove it from

supplements (it can be toxic and cause symptoms at this level).

Might want to drop vanadium as well, and make sure he is getting

a bit of manganese.

These packaged substitutes for dairy milk are usually very high

in sugar. I just checked this one - 13 g sugar and 1 g protein.

Very poor choice for someone with blood sugar issues. I strongly

suggest finding an alternative. It is easy to make your own

rice or nut milk and sweeten it with stevia or xylitol.

Thanks for posting all three hair tests. I find it very

interesting to see multiple hair tests and to watch how things

change. Seeing consistently out of range hair ratios argues

strongly for addressing those problems (blood sugar, excess

adrenaline production, hyperthyroid). It's also easy to

see the increase of molyb to toxic level and the improvement

and then plateau in zinc and magnesium status indicating a

need for more.
