Chelan,

Interestingly, my business partner (Laura) and I had mercury symptoms become severe about the same times in our lives. We were both in bad condition when we reached 2000 and were searching for an answer.

We had our fillings installed roughly at the same times in our lives, got very sick about the same times in our lives, had our fillings removed the very same day, yet, when we had a challange test, the doctor told us that one of us had mercury "off the scale" (high) and the other was perfectly normal. Amazingly, we never got our records to find out which belonged to whom.

This is very strange considering that we both went through the same experience rather dramatically. What is the explaination for this?

The best on I can find is that the lab mixed up the tests. Do you know gross errors are reported to occur on something like 20% to 50% of lab tests? Just search "lab errors" on Google and read on.

Another possible explaination of the difference between our challenge is that our bodies handled the challenge in a different way. Is this common? I don't think so. Does it happen? I think so, but certainly not often.

At any rate, something was very strange about the results of our challenge tests in that they were so different even though we suffered so many of the same health issues.

I wouldn't be discouraged. If lab error do happend even 20% of the time, then 1 out of 5 people on this forum probably have received grossly inaccurate results at some time in the past decade. You might be one of them.
