I just got home from Dr. Yu's office. I called about a question last week and was told my heavy metal test results were in, which I had originally been told it would take three weeks. Thankfully, they arrived early though, and we were able to move my appointment up to today.
The results say....... I have mercury, lead and antimony levels that are outside common levels. The way the test was performed: I had a urinalysis to determine my baseline levels of toxic metals, followed by an IV of DMPS chelating agent which attaches to the metals and aids in them being eliminated from my body. After the IV, I collected my urine for 90 minutes, and that sample was tested to show how much can be eliminated with help from the chelation.
On my baseline test, I only had an uncommonly high level of mercury. This level was quite significant we were told. My level was 6.1. Dr. Yu told Dan and I that out of all his patients, only about 5% of his complex cases test above a 3 baseline, and less than 3% are at a 5 or higher. Obviously, I showed a very high baseline level statistically.
On my post IV test, my mercury was at a 27, while I was also high in lead and antimony. Dr. Yu stressed the fact that no level of heavy metals is safe, and that we may not know where exactly the metals come from, but it is imperative we all try to avoid those metals when possible. Even though my mercury level was significantly higher in the second test, I felt a little better when Dr. Yu told me that some people are up near 150. Yikes!
The first step I am taking in eradicating my body of mercury is removing my amalgams (silver fillings). I am also beginning a homeopathic drop twice a day that I will take for six months to help aid in the removal of these metals. I will also begin receiving a chelation IV once a month for 6 months before retesting my levels at that time. I will be seeing Dr. Yu in 3 months to check our progress and see how much better I am doing.
I will begin the second round of parasite removal next Tuesday, and I finish my current homeopathic drops on the 24th of June, so I will then mostly be focusing on avoiding, and removing heavy metals.
I am SO glad that God has made it possible for Dan and I to be in St. Louis, seeking this unconventional, yet very hopeful route. I had essentially given up hope that I could become truly well one day, but I am starting to see that as a very real possibility. I want to ask you to continue to pray for healing, and for guidance throughout this process. God is so good, and has taught me so much recently. I am glad for technology so that I can share this journey with you all. My hope is that my story will be of some assistance to someone some day. I know that I would never be able to endure all this without Jesus by my side. He is my comfort and my encouragement, and I want everyone to be able to say the same thing!
