i had a hair test for myself with similar results, and so i did the 24 hour urine collection w/dmps challenge and it verified high/ toxic levels of both mercury and arsenic
i will get my son's hair analysis done again, but most of the points you mention don't apply, like shampoo etc
my concern is not only for my son and myself but that these sorts of toxins are everywhere in the environment and we are not being told the full,ugly truth about it
you may remember the clinton proposal to lower the levels of arsenic permissable in muni water supplies, which was sqaushed by bush, but if you followed closely you will recall that arsenic was mentioned as a major long-term carcinogen
and since you may read this whole thing through, i am wondering what you think about switching from depakote to lithium....you may remember that i did some posts about lith orotate and, after reading barbara cats experience, what it looked like to me was that it just didn't work in her case, but i have not been able to find any reports of kidney failure or anything serious
mostly i am thinking about the long term cost of lithium versus depakote er, and the long term toxicity profile, i am not m/d but my neurologist gave me a dx of bp2 in order to get more money for herself....i am currently using 750 to 1000 mg /day of the depakote as a stabilizer for the lexapro which i take at 15mg/day
so what do ya' think, which is more toxic dep or lith and which form of lith? i guess i should ask too which is more effective
