Check your environmental, food, and liquid sources to see if anything seems a likely problem, if not ever having a hair or blood mineral screening.

I know growing up on a farm that you may not know what is in your water source. Our well was found to have high nitrates that put us kids at risk of baby blue syndrome, but we only found that out after we grew enough that the risk had now lessened, due to being bigger, it seemed. This is an example of the kind of testing you can do or find to see if you have unknown risks, without expensive blood tests. Your own metro water district gets tests done. Read the table, if nothing else.

Check your choice of chocolates against tests done by Consumer Reports, ConsumerLab.com, and other organizations. Chocolate can have higher levels of lead, cadmium, and arsenic. Consider supplements that could at least slightly chelate bad minerals out of the body.

Finally, double-check your supplements against daily food intake mineral expectations. Stop supplementing as much or lower your intake of minerals, if already high.

Drs prescribe zinc these days.

[tumblindice]

He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he traveled time
For the future of mankind

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfurl

Can you hang magnets from your body? You probably have a problem.

This is enormous. Easy to measure, too it seems.

[Chickensoup]

I take zinc a few times a week. Prophylacticlly.

Cut back?

[sonova]

What about other elements excreted otherwise?
Seems it should matter.

ConservativeMind : " I know growing up on a farm that you may not know what is in your water source.

I am currently on a 'Town' warte system .
I have noticed a significant debris residue under my dish drying rack, as I only hand wash my dishes.
The other day, while in a local store I noticed a man who was purchasing spring water by the 24 pack,
and I began to think back to the residue in my drying rack and thinking it may be high in mineral content and perhaps other debris.
Now I am beginning to rethink my water supply since I now question the quality of the local water supply, especially after all the recent rain.
