Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi , Welcome to the list. Comments interspersed. S S New here with fresh test results Posted by: " afg2007bwa " bushwings@... afg2007bwa Fri Aug 7, 2009 9:06 pm (PDT) Hi, I'm thankful to find this group. I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Any input is gratefully accepted. We hair tested my 2 year old who is still mostly breastfed. She has had multiple food and chemical allergies since birth, as well as eczema, keratosis pilaris, occasional dyshidrotic dermatitis, slow growth, poor dental enamel, and weak hair/nails as signs of malabsorption. *Yikes! We know what to eat/contact to keep her safe and our nutrition is steadily improving. Now I'm considering trying to conceive another child and have alot to think about since we got these results. *Consider doing a hair test for yourself (and the father). We live a pretty pristine wild/organic lifestyle off road/off grid. *For how long? I'd be really surprised to find out we have significant current exposures. I'm thinking that her load is from gestation and breastfeeding, while I detoxed the 70 pounds of pregnancy weight and continually improve our nutrient status to open detox pathways. *You probably still have accumulated exposure, seems worth taking a look via hair test. We should have blood, urine and stool tests back for her this week. *These tests are not useful for metals testing (except blood for current lead exposure) but may be helpful for some of her health issues. I'm going to consult with a holistic dentists about my 8 amalgams, and we'll be looking for a practitioner to help us through the maze of chelating our daughter. *If you plan to have your amalgams removed either wait until after the next baby or have them removed after you're done breast feeding this baby and chelate for several years before conceiving the next baby, please do not have them removed just before conceiving or during pregnancy or while breast feeding. Thanks for reading, Here are the results. To my eye, she meets counting rules and likely has deranged mineral transport due to mercury toxicity. Please tell me if my analysis is inaccurate. *High red aluminum, antimony, arsenic, cadmium, lead, platinum, and tin is more than enough reason for concern. Please check www.danasview.net/metals for sources of exposure. If it were me I would definitely try to identify and reduce/remove sources of exposure before considering a second child. Have you had your water supply tested? Yes she meets counting rules with 4 (or more) essentials in the red so mercury is also an issue.
