Hey Kathy

The most revealing test is a test done on urine collected for 12 hours after  an IV chelation with EDTA.  It was developed in the 40’s (I think) to show the ‘body burden’ of heavy metals…specifically lead.  Blood tests show what is circulating in the system at the time of the test  The body burden indicates how much and what kind of metals have been absorbed into the bones and organs and is hiding there.  That’s what I’ve learned.

I know that (in canada) any blood test for metals will be deemed to
be "within normal range" I've struggled with docs too long not to know
this by now. (you have to fight tooth and nail with drs. and all the
while for your life too)I just wondered if it vwould show better in
csf than the blood. Might be worth a lumbar puncture? thx again, kathy
