Hi All, I am a newbie to this group. I have a 7 year-old son who was
adopted from Guatemala at age 8.5 months, who has "distractibility"
issues and sensory integration disorder. I've done neurotransmitter
testing (dopamine off the charts) and he is now on nutritional
supplements...my question is this: He had a hair analysis done for
heavy metal toxicity (I am working with Dr. Maile Pouls, if any of
you know of her) and the report came back with a "high" level of
lead (more than 2 SD above the mean), 1.477 ug/g. But I have no idea
how this might correspond with blood levels, if at all...I've read
the info on this site and others about the reliability of blood
level counts...but not sure how to view the information I have from
the hair analysis in light of that.
Dr. Pouls wants to do oral chelation with him in a few
months...with "natural" supplements...
Thoughts? Thank you so much, I am so grateful to have found this
site!!!
