Hi, Simon, I went there looking for information on a reliable way to
figure out the heavy metal concentration, and found nothing on it, only
that they believe that current methods will not tell the whole picture.
That is what I understood from the medical standpoint years ago. There
are some things that can be learned from a hair test (past month or so)
or a blood test (today), but hard to say about what is stored in the
body elsewhere. This is my understanding.
It seems to me that whenever anyone suspects neurological damage or
toxin, mercury is one that first comes to mind; however, the mold
toxins may form a more vast and unrecognised neurotoxin exposure that
probably will not respond to chelation.
Most people I know that are definitely suffering from exposure to
toxic mold will deny it vehemently, and many will die from it before
they have any idea what is going on. It is due to precisely the
neurotoxic nature of the beast that it causes mental changes in those
that are affected- as do many neurotoxic elements, not just heavy
metals, also biotoxins. A mental rigidity is very common, as are
anxiety, depression, and anger. These have been shown to be repeatably
demonstrated on exposure to the offending substances by the pioneering
work of Dr Doris Rapp, allergist, now of Scottsdale, AZ. I saw some of
her work on that aspect of "allergy" in the early 90's. She is now
concentrating her work on removing toxins from the children's school
and home environments, and publicising that. She recognised ealry on
that ADHD can be a response to the environment- which underscores the
neurological component of toxicity. What was unknown at the time is
that mold does cause these symptoms and more.
That is one of the things I like about shoemaker- he has found a simple
non invasive test that will indicate biotoxic expsoure- I am unsure if
there he has found a way to separate the heavy metal toxicity from the
biotoxicity- perhaps from heavy metal testing and a trial of his
adsorbsion therapy, I don't know.

I don't think there is any questions as to mercury levels in some
fish. Salmon and tuna being among the worst.
She did nothing to help eliminate the mercury. Her diet did change.
She ate less altogether. She increased alternate proteins like
chicken, beef, beans, eggs. My question is does it seem right that
her mercury levels came down in six months from just eliminating fish
(salmon and tuna being her staples) from her diet. I was taken a
back by this.
This kind of thing is not nearly as simple as some 'doctors' would
have you believe.
Measuring blood levels of heavy metals is *not* a reliable indicator
of whether or not you have heavy metal toxicity - nor is a hair
analysis, contrary to popular belief, or even a DMPS challenge test.
I highly recommend this site/forum if you have serious concerns about
mercury toxicity:
