Hi Jinx, I wish I knew. I remember when I was very mercury toxic, I went and got tests done and the doctor faced me and said "by the results of these tests, you should be bouncing off the walls with health" and I glared at him and said "Do I look bouncy to you?" (I was pale as a sheet).

He decided that I was depressed and was going to send me to a blind psychiatrist to get the help I apparently needed.....um yeah, I think the real blindman was the doctor in front of me. So I walked out.

I've had this time and time again, normal blood test results and nothing to show for my suffering. I guess I must have been eating darned good and somewhere, somehow, my body was reaping benefits that I was just not feeling most of the time.

I don't really understand the mechanicisms of mercury and exactly why basic typical blood tests seem to miss it altogether. You can show plenty of this and plenty of that, but mercury can be blocking it's action, so you feel no benefit. Though blood tests will often show you have plenty of it. Mercury can distort the way things work, but tests will still show yu're fine.

It's typical Jinx. I don't even bother getting these tests now, I just waste my time. Doctors can't look past this into anything deeper. Often it's the way results are interpreted I believe too. I think there would be a way, but it's not known by them how. Some who are more savvy with mercury toxicity, might have a way of reading into it more and finding a pattern or digging much deeper and discovering what's really going on.

E.g. hair test results usually show mineral derangement in mercury toxicity, but often typically "low" levels of the mercury itself. THe stuff hides, it's stored/bound up and/or a person can be poisoned by even apparently "low" amounts. Some tolerate much higher levels of mercury and show to be quite healthy, even with a high level on their testing. But this can also mean that their body eliminates the mercury and pushes it out to be excreted to where the levels show up nicely on testing. High levels can mean be acute toxicity and sickness, or a person detoxing the metals, etc. Low levels can mean low levels, everything is fine, or retention toxicity etc.

Many reasons for these weird resutls on tests that don't really seem to give the real picture.
