Hair Mineral Testing

Banned? I am far more than disapointed ! Christine brought a new voice here that could bring another piece to our so complicated puzzle.
Hope for a change, and for giving to people the benefice of the doubt.

Just want to remind anyone trying this that they *MAY* need some SMALL amount of supplemental manganese & the other caveat is to avoid iron enriched foods. As always, seek professional advice,

I'm not going to pretend I have even the most dim of clues as to what has happened here, but honestly, I'd just really, really like to see the paper she was working on.

I've been waiting since the first time she gave a lengthy explanation as to why she couldn't answer questions on the open forum because she had to get that paper finished. Then we find out there was what has been described on another thread as a "private club".

There were pm's, e-mails and chats going on, but no paper. Now it seems that she's gone because of a forum rule.

Will someone give me a heads up when that paper is available? Until then, I feel really sorry at the way it all went down. It was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I am happy that some people got help for serious issues and those who are feeling better. Fortunately, that won't change. I'm really happy to know the story of those dogs recovering from a genetic illness. That is truly exciting.

But the discussion that might have occurred between the experts here on the forum (who are intimately aware of ME/CFS) and Dog Person could have been very enlightening and ultimately helpful. But I'm pretty sure those will go on to some extent as well.

Brenda, I hope you will continue to post your progress.

It looks like the only those who took Dog Person at her word that she needed time to work on the paper and DIDN'T contact her out of respect for her request are left out in the cold now.

Thaks for letting me have my say. And someone wake me up when the paper is available.

I agree with Hanna!

As long as the enamel is not chipped or cracked, you should be okay. But I definitely wouldn't use cast iron. I used to love it, but gave it up awhile ago.

Thanks. Christine asked for hair test results and the ones who sent them to her and who are now being called the `private club` are the ones she is retesting. Thats all. If Christine agrees I will send the paper to those interested or maybe we can get together somewhere.

She made it sound like it would be posted (as I recall - but wouldn't swear to it) - I'm assuming on her website.

For god sake, there must have been a way to settle this without banning her...

That's a damn shame, she is really helping us.

I dont have any proof I was only offering a suggestion without naming anyone seeing as we are all totally confused about why we have lost someone who was helping us so much.

Iron enriched as in "fortified" aq? Or does this include iron rich foods such as beef and lamb etc?

I get manganese in blueberries and kale, both of which I eat most days but have started a manganese supplement as well (which I had stopped last year due to chelation protocol.)

Thanks for your help too aq

Really pleased you're seeing progress David!! Please update in another thread?
Anne.

Ema, respectfully there were quite a few posts towards Christine that fit that description. Why weren't those addressed?

Thanks,
Davdi
