I am speechless.

Test results came back
Mercury
1.4 before dmsa-- 8.8 after dmsa

Lead
3.4 before dmsa 29 after dmsa

I dont know what normal levels are.

I'm totally shocked!! never gave any thought to Lead levels being high. [bonk]

Now I'm going to have to have my water in the house tested cause I dont know where else it could be coming from.

Put me on 3 days of dmsa 750 mg then 11 days off for 5 treatments.

The DMSA is pulling it out of the body, so levels will be higher in the urine.

Lymetoo: I asked my llmd to test me for heavy metals cause nothing was helping me. He did and these are my results. I have felt alot better after the test. More enErgy, less degree of symptoms. Just feel better.

So not sure how much over the acceptable level I am, will get a copy of the written report tomorrow.

Haley: the first level is what is floating around.
The second level is what the dmsa latches onto that was attached to organs and tissues. That's what causes the problemss.

Stop drinking tap water

Juice pineapples - it can remove lead and other metals

This happened to me too!!!! My mercury was sky high and lead was a little elevated -one time over the normal limit I think. then, I cheated for 6 months- mercury went WAY down, made so much progress BUT lead went up to THREE times the normal limit!!!!

I have ZERO idea where I went wrong. I take all my pills exactly as told, I only eat organic and I only drink bottled water!!!!

I see my llmd Friday so maybe he will hav esome insight but if anyone else has ideas would love to hear!

Have you checked your dishes out? Mine had lead in them.

I remember seeing last year (think it was last year) on the news that some kids toy had lead in it (FDA didn't monitor kids toys for lead). It's surprising what it's in. You really have to research everything.

Never thought of my dishes. And they are from China so who knows what's in them.
