zinc, was Re: ?Exacerbation of symptoms with chelation

How important is it that she gets the target dose of zinc? I'm guessing that

it's just too much for her. I'm pretty new to this, so forgive my questions

but, how can you tell if there is a problem with cadmium, lead or copper? Her

hair analysis lists cadmium and lead as being in the green range <68th

percentile, and copper as being in the green range <50th percentile, and all

ratios (zn/cu, zn/cd) were within the expected ranges. Although, I'm guessing

that since you can't tell if you have a mercury issue from just looking at those

numbers, then you wouldn't be able to tell if you have an issue with other

metals just by looking at their percentiles, is that right?

Also, do you know the reason for taking Vit E with the fish oil - I had never

heard of that before, or of taking zinc with Vit E.

I'm not sure I totally understood the reference to your taking zinc - was it the

zinc that made you kind of manic (this is what we call my daughter's behavior

)? What were the benefits you saw from zinc?

Thanks so much.
