This test will determine your calcium at the cellular
level. Actually it tests the calcium in the cell membrane
since that's where most of it resides in the cell.

Doctor's Data St. Charles Il. 800-323-2784

First thing is to get a prescription from your
doctor for the test(s), per Dr. Rea's suggestion
I got the:

"Red Blood Cell Elements" and "Hair Elements"

Fax the prescriptions to Doctor's Data and they'll
send you analysis kits. Follow the instructions
from there.

Both test for toxic elements (including arsenic
and mercury) and elements. My germanium (from the hair
test) and calcium (from the blood cell test) were very
low so I recently started taking a Ge supplement
(even though it makes me feel ill for an hour or
two) and calcium.

In retrospect, there's no doubt I had symptoms of
hypocalcemia when I was a software engineer. A twitch
in the eye, numb fingers are very good indicators.
A doctor at the university of medicine and dentisty of
New Jersey said he'll look into my low calcium in the
red blood cell membrane.

Here's the respnse from a doctor at the Department of
Environmental and Occupational Medicine:

"I'm not sure what to make of the RBC Ca level. The serum Ca is the
usual parameter for physiological effects of Ca, because it is free Ca
that is generally associated with effects of hyper or hypocalcemia.
RBC Ca is not really a standard, established test. You can see there
are only 3 references in their bibliography, and these are not
relevant to EMF or any kind of toxic response. I looked at the
medical literature and couldn't find anything either. The paper you
sent on EMF effects on Ca channels is interesting, but there too, I'm
not sure if it explains your symptoms. It is pretty speculative at
this point.

My philosophy is that it is fine to try things that are not
potentially harmful. So taking Ca supplements, at reasonable doses
that don't cause undue constipation or other problems, sounds fine to
me, and may have other health benefits as well.

Another caution is that screening tests like the DD test, with about
20 different analytes, can lead to false positive results. The
reference ranges are based on ranges that 95% of individual results
fall into, but this is just a statistical construct, and normal
individuals can have results that fall outside the "reference" range,
which is sometimes confused with the "normal" range. The more tests
that are done, the more likely a given normal individual is to have a
result that randomly falls in the upper or lower 2.5% of the results.

That said, as we discussed before, you need to find what works for you…"

I like the sound of this one, and will try to get my Dr to prescribe Calcium
Chloride. I have had a blood test recently and found that my Haemaglobin
levels were up to 17, 2 yrs ago they were 16.5. The Dr sugessted that this was
normal for me, although when she took my BP she found this to be high, I had
previously spent 2 - 3 hours suffering on a pc ! Any one had similar
results ?
