i had a heavy metal test done 10 days ago to find out if heavy metals could be causing me this pain. this was the first test that i have had that actually showed something was wrong. my d.o. seems to think that metals could be poisoning my body therefore cause pain and fog. well the results are in i have very high levels of lead, cadmium and aluminum in my body plus many others at toxic levels. not sure if removing them will fix everything but, i am willing to try. has anyone else ever been tested for heavy metal?

The test required 2 iv bags put into my arm and then i took one pill which both were to pull out metals if they were present. i then when home and collected my urine for 6 hours. after 6 hours all the urine was shaken up a little and put into a vial which was pick up by dhl. i don't fear needles or iv's so for me it wasn't a big deal. treament will involve chelation which is also done by iv. they claim it will free my body of all the metals and toxins. whether or not this will fix everything i don't know but i feel like i have some hope now, which before i didn't have any. them finding something wrong helped me because i have thought all along that the teatnus shot i received in 1/2006 is what started all this pain. immunizations contain mercury and ridding my body of it might just rid me of the pain. i very excited to find out, i'll keep you informed.

Hello All. I had been diagnosed with fibro as well, and then also found out that I had heavy metals toxicity. This is becoming more and more common because of all the poisons we put into our environment. You would be shocked if you had yourslef tested I bet!!

When I was investigating, I really was hesitant of the chelation therapy because I like to go natural if possible. I found this resource called Let's Talk detox that posts stories about toxins in the environment, and also has a LOT of info on liquid zeolites that remove heavy metals safely. I started the zeolite treatment I ordered from that lady. She is really nice and will give her phone number to speak with her personally, and she ships just about anywhere she said.

Anyway, my heavy metal load after 2 months of treatment was almost zero! I am only on a maintenance amount now. The site is www.letstalkdetox.com and if you want to look right at the zeolite information there, there is a menu on the right side.

Hopefully this information helps somebody.

Hello you all. Thank you for the welcome. There is no tester kit sold there. She just has many informations about toxins and metals, much about the zeolite product and what it does, and a link to her site where you can order the zeolite produts. Her email and phone number is there, and I sent a mail and she called me.

I am chinese and have a chinese natural healer that I see. She tested me for the metals before I started my treatments, but most naturepathic doctors and traditional doctors can do the tests of urine or hair.

Thank you for the welcomes from you. A very friendly group as I shyly reading the messages before I have spoken.
