Re: 24 hour urine collection sample detected no mercury, is this test reliable?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am no expert, but you need to read Cutler's book to realize that just because

no mercury is being excreted doesn't mean you have no mercury.

I have two daughters who met the counting rules for Cutler's protocol yet showed

no mercury in their hair samples. I plan on seeing a Dr. who is knowledgeable in

the Cutler protocol to do chelating.

Don't listen to the Dr.s who don't know. They are the majority out there sad to

say.

It would have left the urine 2 weeks after exposure and moved to your fatty

tissues. Try a porphyrin test (www.labbio.net) or a hair test (look for the

scatter pattern).

Did they give you a chelation agent before they did the sample? Or

did they just test your pee?

Mercury only show in blood for a short time following live exposure.

After that it's in your cells and organs and brain. Urine testing and

blood testing is useless for determining mercury toxicity.

You would need a hair test or uring porphyrin test from a French Lab.

Since you worked around mercury vapor, you are toxic. Not much further

testing would be useful. Just expensive.

Read the fiele section of this board for information on how to

test/treat Hg poisoning.

That generally means your body is not good at getting rid of the toxic

metals/vapors you're exposed to. You need a DDI hair elements test and then to

apply the counting rules. See the FAQs of this list. You can order one

yourself through DLS (Direct Lab Services) if your doctor won't order this

particular test (counting rules were developed specifically for this one).

They're on special this month or if you mention this e-group. How many mercury

amalgam dental fillings do you have? The chemistry lab need to figure out

better safety equipment before you (and others) fry too many brain cells.

Suggest that the class watch the University of Calgary " this is a brain on

mercury vapor " video.

Challenge tests are dangerous, not particularly useful and NOT recommended due

to the risk of pushing more mercury into the brain.

Hi,

I agree with the previous post. My DMSA challenge urine test showed a

mercury level of 30 times the maximum level, while my 24 hour urine test

showed close to zero.

How about doing a collection while doing the Cutler protocol to see how much is

coming out. Has anyone done this??

Yes, this is ok, just remember that excretion varies within and between rounds

and that different chelators cause excretion through different routes (some via

stool, some via urine, others can tell you which is which.

Your Lab should have booths where any hazardous vapor is pulled in and dealt

with, can you say OSHA ?

As everyone on this list knows I am very anti Mercury .. Having said that

....

A large percentage of persistent headaches are caused by de-hydration ..

I suffered from headaches for years, I even went in and insisted on a brain

scan !

One day I had an appointment and my Dr. was not there, I got some OLD Dr.

He sat and read my file and talked to me for a while and told me " never pass

a drinking fountain without forcing down all you can handle " .

I haven't had a serious headache since !

Good Luck !

Neil
