Hi Lynn,I'd suggest ordering a hair analysis from Doctors Data (DDI). The test can be ordered from DirectLabs.com. Heavy metal toxicity is the basis of so many health problems. Dr. Andy Cutler, who wrote Amalgam Illness and Hair Test Interpretation, has a 58-item checklist for mercury toxicity. He feels it's related to a long list of degenerative conditions (mainstream doctors never make the connection). Mercury hides on most hair analysis reports (in a group of 10 people who are mercury toxic—it will only show up on one hair analysis report). Cutler's book helps a reader understand deranged mineral patterns on a hair analysis report that are a sign of heavy metal toxicity.If heavy metals are present, they need to be chelated.Regular cleanses will not remove metals.EDTA is the fast way to chelate (intravenous, at a chelation specialist's office). Dr. Andy Cutler has a self-help oral chelation protocol (with DMSA) that I've used. It's explained in his book Amalgam Illness.So many illnesses are related to heavy metal toxicity now. I work with doctors who are mentioned in this NIH article (ACAM) and I've heard many remarkable stories (help for stroke victims, people with open sores that would not heal—suddenly healing, a story about a man who was told his leg would need to be amputated—who healed, as well as many stories about atherosclerosis).

I've got some real concerns about this gal and what she's doing, and am looking for anything y'all might suggest.For those who don't know, Moyamoya disease is a progressive disease of the distal internal carotid arteries. Apparently, there is no cure, and it often evidences it's self when people are kids - like 3, 4, 5 years old. This gal is older than that, but don't exactly know how old she is. Here's a link that talks about it http://www.moyamoya.com/journals/moyamoya.htmlIs anyone familiar with it? Anyone heard of what someone can take who had this? but not just for this - she has a host of other things wrong with her. She says she's had 2 surgeries, and so far it has controlled it.She says she also has petit mal seizures. But, she's taking a ton of meds - and is going to run out before she is able to get more insurance. I don't know what her money situation is, but I suspect not too good. I'm very concerned that if she just stops taking all her meds, especially with a hx of seizures, she'll have more. Maybe not so petite this time.Plus, she's just written and said she's stopped everything in order to do a cleanse. she hasn't been specific about what she's taking, but I do know that abruptly stopping drugs that are being used to control seizures is going to cause a major physical reaction....Said she's also bi-polar...I'm guessing she stopped those too.She also said she wonders if a poor diet has contributed not only to this, but to some other physical issues. (duh........) She's just started a cleanse, so sodas and all that isn't in question - of course I'll tell her not to drink any, or eat any diet foods when it's completed. But, it sounds like she needs more than that.......Oh, yeah, she had a gastric bypass three years ago - used to weigh 395 lbs. Said she lost 220 lbs, but has gained 66 back.Anything you guys have to offer would be greatly appreciated.Lynn

Hi Lynn,

I'd suggest ordering a hair analysis from Doctors Data (DDI). The test

can be ordered from DirectLabs.com. Heavy metal toxicity is the basis of

so many health problems. Dr. Andy Cutler, who wrote Amalgam Illness and

Hair Test Interpretation, has a 58-item checklist for mercury toxicity.

He feels it's related to a long list of degenerative conditions

(mainstream doctors never make the connection). Mercury hides on most

hair analysis reports (in a group of 10 people who are mercury toxic—it

will only show up on one hair analysis report). Cutler's book helps a

reader understand deranged mineral patterns on a hair analysis report

that are a sign of heavy metal toxicity.

If heavy metals are present, they need to be chelated.

Regular cleanses will not remove metals.

EDTA is the fast way to chelate (intravenous, at a chelation specialist's

office). Dr. Andy Cutler has a self-help oral chelation protocol (with

DMSA) that I've used. It's explained in his book Amalgam

Illness.

So many illnesses are related to heavy metal toxicity now. I work with

doctors who are mentioned in this NIH article (ACAM) and I've heard many

remarkable stories (help for stroke victims, people with open sores that

would not heal—suddenly healing, a story about a man who was told his leg

would need to be amputated—who healed, as well as many stories about

atherosclerosis). ACAM doctors have been doing chelation for several

decades. ACAM has a web site with a look-up feature for finding a

chelation specialist

Although two clinical trials have already failed to

show that EDTA chelation--a legitimate treatment for lead poisoning--is

therapeutic in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease, and although

a clinical trial has failed to show that EDTA reduces ischemic changes in

patients with angina pectoris, and although at least fifteen published

reports on case histories of more than seventy patients receiving

chelation treatments found no evidence of beneficial effects on

atherosclerosis, and although cases of skin, blood, and other disorders

following infusions of EDTA have been reported, and although none of the

proposed mechanisms of action of EDTA against arterial disease make

sense, and although the Federal Trade Commission announced in December

1998 that it secured a consent agreement banning the American College for

Advancement in Medicine (ACAM)--the primary organization promoting

chelation--from making unsubstantiated claims that chelation is effective

against any circulatory system disease, the National Center for

Complementary and Alternative Medicine and the National Heart, Lung, and

Blood Institute have awarded $30 million to the Mount Sinai Medical

Center-Miami Heart Institute in Miami Beach, Florida for a multi-site,

double-blind, 5-year clinical trial involving 2,372 patients aged 50 or

older who have had a heart attack. The trial will evaluate whether an

ACAM-endorsed protocol for EDTA chelation therapy and/or high-dose

vitamin therapy is effective for the treatment of coronary artery

disease.
