Avatar f tn a lot of heavy metals will hide deep in the tissue and cannot be seen always in blood samples.
Avatar f tn I don't know any link between heavy metals and diabetes, so let's start there. EDTA is a sort of all-purpose chelation agent that's used for cholesterol and other things. To chelate out a specific substance, you find another substance that tends to be in balance with that metal or has an affinity for it. For example, if you were too high in calcium deposits, magnesium is the chelation agent for calcium, and so on.
1059594 tn?1261323966 Hello, My Name Is Josh, I have peripheral neuropathy and we're in the process of finding out why that is. I took a 24 hour urine heavy metals test, I'm not sure if this arsenic is ENOUGH to be causing my neuropathy. Someone stated that beaus lines could be a signal or the poisoning and I remembered 5 months or so ago I had raised horizontal white lines across ONLY my left hand and foots nails, there was a raised horizontal bump where the white lines were.
Avatar n tn good luck. You can take pill form GOOD QUALITY chealton for other heavy metals , but must stay on it for a few years to keep it out of your system, we are subjected to heavy metals in our daily lives. I personally stay on it continious now for going on 7 years.
Avatar f tn Every book I have read for MS diet related info talks about Heavy Metal Toxicity. So I bring this up to both my primary care and neuro and neither one will order me a test. So I find a little kit and do it myself and found 'very high levels of concentration'. Has anybody else gone down this road? Am I looking in a direction that is unfounded, or simply ridiculous?
3161914 tn?1344102618 can anyone tell me if there is scientific validity to testing hair for heavy metals? also in testing saliva for cortisol ?
Avatar m tn It took my friend almost 6 months to recover from heavy metals. It was discovered by a urine test. She took a bucket home after being given a detox solution and had to pee in this bucket for 24 hrs. You would have to have a very very high metal load for it to show in a blood test. The urine test is more sensitive and she had this done at a naturopathic doc office.
Avatar f tn This way the boron will instead carry the metals out through your urine. If this diet is too strict for you, take it up with your government, who are the ones spraying the marshmallow snakes in the sky (the lines of cloud that come from certain air planes).
1094370 tn?1317134825 I hired a nutritionist and we did a hair test which came back high for mercury and arsenic. I asked my husband if he was poisioning me but he said no. ha ha Anyhow, I was looking up things about heavy metal symptoms (I know, the internet is not my friend) and one of the things it said is that many things happen to the body when it's not getting rid of the metals and one of the conditions they mention that it mimics is MS.
757137 tn?1347196453 ve also had a jet fuel leak from the base which has possibly entered the water table). At any rate, the doc ordered a heavy metals test. All he told me was that I will be tested for arsenic and lead. Hopefully they will test for DU, U-235/238, Strontium-90, and Cobalt-60. If not I've learned some of these can be tested in urine samples and I may seek a lab/facility that will do this test for cheap if possible.
1756143 tn?1312534315 ll find out years later are also toxic? What chelation can do for you is reduce the amount of heavy metals that have already leached into your system, but keep in mind that neuro-toxins such as lead and mercury are most harmful to the very young (which would include pregnant women), so be aware that the main damage if any was done a long time ago.
Avatar f tn It sounds odd to me only because hair analysis is used, but for things like mercury poisoning, where the body deposits mercury or other heavy metals into the hair, like at an event where the valet parking people are busy running around stashing cars wherever they can find a parking place, down side streets and around the corner. I don't know what it is about Lyme that would cause some measurable chemical to be parked in hair.

Avatar m tn She not tests me for heavy metals, but also for nutrient elements. Perhaps your son is either deficient or has an excess in one of those; taking supplements to build up the body and make it strong again will help tremendously.

Avatar f tn heavy metals make static electricity, that are most of the symptoms of patm, you can clean up heavy metals by CHELATION search on google, you can do chelation treatments by taking Chorella, Active charbon and other things that are easy to find. i have started to take chorella and I have decreased symptoms in 2 days, I will come back for results because as everyone here I have try everything i could find.
973741 tn?1342342773 You might think organic or natural would be less likely to contain contaminants, but Garden of Life Organic Plant Formula Raw Protein Powder - Chocolate received an F rating for heavy metals. Vega chocolate (another plant based protein powder, and one I've tried in the past) also received an F because of heavy metals and plasticizers. Gold standard whey (another I've tried, whey means from cow milk) received a D for below average plasticizers. This article: https://www.
Avatar m tn The best test for total body burden of toxic metal is the chelation test. The chelation test involves an intravenous infusion of a small amount of semi-synthetic amino acids which grab onto (“chelate”) toxic metals so tightly your body can’t hang onto them anymore, so they’re excreted into the bowels and urine. The infusion is followed by a collection of urine over the next six hours. The urine specimen is then sent to a laboratory to be tested for toxic metals.
Avatar n tn Do we replace dental amalgams made with mercury and other metals and detoxify the body of heavy metals? Many websites have a link between chronic diseases of EBV, CMV, CSF ... and the existence of these metals in our body.
635322 tn?1222717986 t bother about for I feel no pain until I started seeing blood in my urine. I decided to see the doctor and found out I have UTI. I took antibiotics for a week and it worked but Last december It came back. Right now I've been pissing red blood urine everymorning and I haven't seen the doctor yet. I feel no pain or what soever, just a red urine. I hope we can e-mail each other about our situation. The more I research about it the more confuse I become.
Avatar m tn ( It will be necessary to stop eating gluten as well if you want to completely discontinue the rash since it is the gluten that carries the metals through the skin.

368646 tn?1208393887 Does anyone know the "official" name for a blood test for an allergy to nickel? Many of the labs I've contacted (in Louisille) only know of a skin patch test or how to determine if nickel already exists in the bloodstream. (FYI- It would be used to determine an implant allergy.) Thanks for your help!
Avatar m tn What tests will you have? Poisoning is hard to detect or prove--especially if it is heavy metal. You need to have your liver function tested. What is the barium level? Next you need to have your white and red blood cell levels checked. Is there a toxicology department in the hospital near you? Find an occupational doctor and ask if they can run environmental toxin exposure tests. Find a holistic doctor that specializes in detoxification procedures.
Avatar m tn m jot sure either but look up someone in your are who practices functional medicine. They can test for all kinds of vitamins and minerals and heavy metals and toxins. Maybe diet related or organ related...
1070570 tn?1283436213 ve also received take home tests to test the strength of my immune system and a urine test to detect heavy metals. Presence of heavy metals can really fatigue you apparently. *I am also going to begin taking Transfer Factor Plasmyc for the next 6 months to rid myself of the EBV (epstein bar virus a.k.a. “mono-virus”) that I have. *Due to a high reverse T3 test, I am going to discontinue taking levoxyl and begin taking my compounded T3 (7.5 mcg- two pills- twice per day-12 hrs apart).
Avatar f tn Thanks for your reply. The symptoms are a kind of numbness of my lips and tip of tongue within 5 minutes. (almost feels like lips are a bit puffy) . I haven't had a heavy metals toxicity test. Didn't know one was available. Is it a blood test?
Avatar n tn Yes! There is a hair analysis test you can do at home to test for mercury and other heavy metals. If you are interested, please contact me and I will send you the link. The test is about $74.00.
