Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 It's only now that I have had a hair test done on my 12 year old son (high functioning Asperger, ADD, motorical difficulties, SI issues, constipation, lack of energy, very pale, low blood pressure - no dental fillings but fully vaccinated). He has been on 17 rounds of ALA prior to this hair test, with the Cutler protocol, every 3 hours around the clock, 1/8 mg per lb, with the supplements Andy recommends (magnesium, zinc, vit B-50, C, E, CLO ). Other supplements he gets are extra B3 (niacinamide) and B6 (to keep anxiety and `racing thoughts' at bay), D3, taurine, selenium on and off, probiotics, enzymes, and Liver Life. During rounds he has generally been in a very good mood, but if he's been on a 3 days on - 4 days off schedule his OCD gets very bad and therefore I've used a 3 days on - 11 days off schedule. First day off round he has usually been more `touchy'. No big negatives, other than touchiness and the OCD. We feel there has been progress, but nothing big. The hair test seems to meet two of the three counting rules: - 6 elements `very elevated' - 11 inside the middle band But why would the iron be so high? I've never given any iron containing supplements, and there isn't iron in our drinking water that I'm aware of (hemoglobin is within normal range – other tests doctors have not felt necessary to do…) Molybdenum is off the charts, too… Why would his magnesium be so low? – I've given him magnesium supplements as this is the only thing that seems to keep his stomach working. He's not CF so I haven't given him Ca on a regular basis. Is there anything else that stands out from his hair test that I should be aware of? Adrenal issues?
