Ive gotten back the hair test results for my child, and it shows he has high levels of other metals besides mercury. What should I do?
Generally, you remove the other metals first. High levels of lead, copper, arsenic, antimony or aluminum can cause symptoms similar to mercury poisoning. If your child has high levels of several metals, he is likely very sick. Test again in three months. Recommendations for chelating other metals: Lead: Use DMSA, but follow the protocol for mercury in case mercury is present as well. Administer every 3-4 hours for several days, then rest for the same number of days, etc. Arsenic: LA works very well for arsenic. Chelate using mercury protocol (every 3 hours, with on/off cycles). Antimony: Use SAMe, 5 mg a day per pound of kid in divided doses. Or you can use the “poor man’s methylating mix” of B-12 (100 mcg per pound), folate (10 mcg per pound) and TMG or choline (10-20 mg per pound). Spread these through the day. They may be energizing so you might want to give them in the earlier part of the day. Copper: Copper absorption can be greatly reduced by giving 25 mg zinc + 250 mcg molybdenu
