Mercury Toxicity and Hair Loss

A male, age 56, with lab verification of multiple metal toxicity, has been using various chelators and detox protocols, including Chinese herbs, for several years, usually with the unwanted result of increased hair loss and healing crisis symptoms. He says he has come to the conclusion that if the program makes his hair fall out, it's not for him. He started NDF about three weeks ago, using Ingestion Testing, and reports that hundreds of new hairs are now growing on his head. He is feeling much better. I bring this case up because according to Chinese Medicine the kidneys control the growth of hair, which means that NDF is concurrently healing the kidneys from an energetic point of view.

So take care of your kidneys! And of course detox all metals the right way.

Take care.

I would love to read about a healthy detox.

My LLMD put my on one by BlessedHerbs and it's bloating the heck out of my stomach

Any thoughts?

Because that link didn't work, I found this from the Healthy Detox Institute from the Wilder Network.

http://www.healthydetox.org./

The site said "The Forums Have Been Removed
[12 August 2004].

But there's still some info on there; a video.

Let me know if this is incorrect & I'll come back in the morning & delete my link.

Yes, that gets you to the article
Heavy Metal Detox Without a Healing Crisis -
Click onto the site and go to "articles" -
there is reams of good information on Timothy Ray's site. I have known him for many years and he has an exceptional brain!

I'm printing this out and bringing to my LLMD. I know I'm metal toxic - I just don't want to crash and burn while trying to correct the situation. Still abx free - 9 weeks now, and doing well.

Speaking of the Chinese and hair loss, I was at a Chinese medicinary in San Francisco's Chinatown and there were buckets of dried seahorses behind glass.
I asked what they were used for and I was told "kidney health".

I wonder about the connection between testosterone and hair loss too. Maybe mercury's hair loss inducing effect involves testosterone somehow.

Talk to you later,

Trevor,
My guess is - the mercury hangs up in the kidneys if there is enough of it and the seahorses do a sweep. Chitosan binds mercury in the intestines. But who knows? Don't know much about these sea creatures.

Trevor,
That I am very certain of. Mercury (that has left the amalgam and from other sources) selectively binds to the ligand sites at the ionic channels in the hormone producing cells in the body. So for anyone with abberant hormone levels - this is very often related to Mercury (low adrenals, chronic fatigue).
It is well known that when the mercury is treated, DHEA, testosterone, estrogens normalize - the three estradiols being too high, and estriol too low) and all balances out when the mercury is addressed.

I myself had hormone levels "no one else alive with this kind of hormone picture". So did my husband. We both had a hormone test recently - both normal.

But it took a bit of work and patience.

San Francisco fun? Talk soon.

Thanks for this post!

Having lost two thirds of my thick, thick hair in the past two years I am looking forward to resolution.

Now in the process of heavy metal detox.

The articles at the link are very informative and I was especially amazed at the aluminum content in certain foods! Cucumbers really surprised me. Aluminum in cucumbers= 21,000 ppm.
