Hi Rich and group,
I saw my CFS doctor yesterday. We discussed chelation due to the nickel DNA adduct found on my mitochondrial superoide enzyme DNA as well as on my mitochondiral translocater protein.
He said it doesn't necessarily mean elevated body burden of mercury. He said it couldmean either it is elevated or that there is inflammation causing the mercury to stick to the adduct.
Also, I was wondering myself how well you can translate the results of a small blood sample tothe entire body ? That is, if a molecule of nickel shows up in the sample, could that just be coincidence ? How do we know the metals adducted tothe DNA in my case and to the translocator protein are an issue throughout the body ?
Does anyone have any insights on this.
Regards,
