Re: Re: mercury/metals tests?

[Guest guest]

I don't believe a chelation challenge test was used. Hair, poryphorin, blood,

urine...all within normal ranges. He has no gut issues. Some of the pieces fit

(eye contact, some minor delays) but not others (extremely social, no

meltdowns, transitions easily....not the usual things you would see in an AS

child). But there's something........

Tell me what other tests you think he should have????

Interested to find out.

Also, other than the french lab, is there any other facility that does

poryphorin testing? Wondering if it was a false neg..

Amy, what metals test have you used? Pediatricians who don't know

better might order a

blood test (useless after 24 hours since exposure). Hair, stool & urine tests

could show no

metals if the child is not excreting (rather retaining) metals.

Did you do a chelation challenge test?

My daughter's levels tested LOW until we began chelating...and then we saw scary

amounts

of mercury dumping out of her. And even then, not at FIRST. She dumped a lot of

lead

before the mercury started coming out.

I'd be more scared NOT to chelate... but then my daughter is severely delayed.

Children

capable of being mainstreamed are likely much lower in metals than she is.

Chelation is safe when warranted and administered under a qualified physicians

guidance.

I am personally chelating using oral DMSA... with great success. I've felt

better than I had

in years, since my mercury levels were creating methylation issues (I have the

MTHFR

defect, as does my daughter) that affected my digestion. I was poisoned by my

amalgams.

Since beginning chelation, my facial eczema has cleared up, my nervous habits &

facial tics

have disappeared and my digestion is nearly normal. In fact, a long-time food

intolerance

I've had toward foods containing tyramine is much improved. Some day, I'll be

able to

enjoy foods like chocolate and beer again. I'm dying for a banana split (bananas

are high

in tyramine.) :-)

I never would have known about chelation if not for my daughter's autism.... who

after two

years of chelation saw a 60% improvement in her eyesight... and her mineral

profiles are all

now within reference range! We're not done chelating her just yet, but are

taking a

sabbatical from it to try to fix her gut issues.

What lab did the hair test? Have you posted the results. Mercury typically

doesn't show as high on mercury-toxic folks, instead it causes disordered

mineral transport.
