[Y]esterday, I received the results of my second hair test by email (first test here) and was bowled over by the HUGE signs of progress which should probably be read together with my one year update.
This feels like an extremely useful set of data. While I still meet counting rules three and four, I no longer meet counting rule 1. So I probably still have deranged mineral transport but it looks to me like it’s in the process of normalizing. Above all, these results tell me to KEEP GOING.
I was so happy to see the second hair test results yesterday that I immediately started a chelation round. Chelation still sucks, even with my reduced doses – I hate it. But, it’s doing its job and I’m very hopeful I’ll be feeling substantially better in another year.
The changes I’m making based on these results are the following:
- going back to taking 5 mg of lithium every day instead of once a week
- take 8 mg manganese twice a week instead of once a week
- increase molybdenum back up to 3 mg (from 1 mg) for three or four months
- increase boron 3 mg a day to 6 mg
- increase magnesium 200 mg to 3.15 g
I’ve fallen behind reporting on my chelation rounds. Honestly, they aren’t very interesting anymore. But I hope this report makes up a little bit for my recent lack of diligence. Would love to hear your interpretations of these results, good or bad, please don’t hesitate:
