What do you think about my mercury level coming back normal on the hair analysis test? Is this kind of test accurate?
A hair analysis test alone does not accurately determine mercury toxicity levels in the body. There is a lot more to it (too much to write here), but it is explained in the Huggins book
It's All In Your Head. The hair analysis could mean the exact opposite if what it seems. Unfortunately, interpreting this is a complicated subject.
Should I wait before I start the protein, do you think or would it be good to start it now? I don't know my blood type, what if I don't have the type O blood? Is it still good to take?
Generally speaking, in your situation, I would start taking it and see how you feel. Just try a single serving in the AM. If you start to feel bad for several days, stop.
Even if you're not an "O" blood type, you will still benefit from this because of several other factors.
So, do you struggle with dizzyness as well? It seems like the neck tension causes alot of pressure in my head from my upper back to the bridge of my nose. Causes my jaws to ache and pressure in my eyes. I keep telling my husband if he would cut off my head I would be much better!
These are very common symptoms in the people I speak with. hang in there.
I take the cal/mag supplement that has 1000 mg of calcium and 500 mg of mag. I am wondering if I should stop the calcium for awhile and just concentrate on the magnesium. Maybe I shouldn't even be taking a supplement since I am eating good sources of magnesium and see how that goes. It really concerns me because it may mean I am dealing with bone loss big time! Any thoughts?
Unfortunately, I don't have enough info to intelligently answer that. Many practiced health professionals believe the cal/mag levels that are normally considered high are actually normal. There are also other factors to consider.
I would search the Internet for others who are experienced in this area and see what their opinions are about what is actually "high" calcium/magnesium.
Sorry I can't be more help on this.
