Yes, he has 14, with 2 that are barely yellows (right over the green
into yellow). I was worried that his magnesium was incorrect since
we give Epsom Salt Baths and rinse his hair with the magnesium
sulfate (he was red for this) and maybe it would not have been
abnormal if we were not giving him the baths. Being that close I am
concerned that chelation may not help.

"At least, my child also has 14, and his test for blood erithrocites
shows elevated mercury." Are you chelating? Could you tell me more
about the blood test for erithrocites and what it tests-just mercury
problems? Did your child's hair test show any toxic elements in the
red?

Thanks for your help!!! Theresa
