Wow! So Much Lead in Eric's System!

So we received the Heavy Metals test results BUT, frustratingly, Dr. Parpia (and/or her assistant?) failed to ORDER THE TEST THAT INCLUDES COPPER which is the PRIMARY item we were investigating since the lab results at UCDavis indicated they were higher than usual.

When I called them - irate! - I requested that SOMEONE from their office call the lab to see if they still had his urine to test the copper! They said they'd call us back by the end of the day.

As you can see, Eric is in the RED in lead! Dr. Osborne says a few things about these results: First, just because it is in the green, does not mean that is "normal." As well, she noted the quantity - how many things he did test positive for - is high. His system is clearly overloaded with heavy metal toxins.

Right now we are at Dr. Osborne's office for Eric to get UV therapy and a hydrogen peroxide treatment. We've GOTTA have things turn around for him. He started using a walker after his fall last Thursday, so - of course - stopping him from getting any worse is our primary concern at this moment. Dr. Osborne will start with it next week. Her idea is to rotate between the two... the problem is UV therapy is VERY expensive, so we might opt to do it less.

Also, we are still pinning down the date for the fundraiser.... still leaning toward August 19th, but we need to finalize it. I'll surely keep you posted!
