heavy metal toxicity
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
We discovered that my daughter had/has lead toxicity. She likely has had this since utero since they have found it in my son and in me.

The test we used to discover this uses a releasing agent and then urine collection to find the heavy metals that are stored in the tissues.

Pediatricians typically use a finger prick test which only shows recent exposure.

Since removing the lead (almost done now) my daughter seems cured. Her reading comprehension improved by 6 years in 6 months. Her writing is much more fluent and her insights into things are amazing.

We did biofeedback during the lead removal process to help the brain use all of its neural pathways.

Check this out for anyone who you know who is struggling.

" I had a friend who thought her daughter had ADHD because one of her sons did. However, for the daughter it turned out to be lead poisoning, so this does not not surprise me. "

" What is the test called? Is this expensive? I have had the finger prick done and it came out with normal levels. Where can I have this done? "

" My doctor uses a lab called Doctors Data. Here is the link to the test

http://www.doctorsdata.com/test_in...

I would think that you could contact the lab to find out a doctor in your area who performs this test.

I honestly do not remember the cost. we had other tests run at the same time so I do not remember the breakdown of which test was how much. "
