In December 2002 I began a course of dexamphetamine, 6 per day. I had been diagnosed with Adult ADHD. For the 30 years of my life I always felt like I didn’t fit in. I did extremely well at school, however I got very bored and had difficulty sustaining friendships. It was a sad childhood, but one that has now made me stronger. My psychiatrist suggested that I have a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. I had never heard of such a test. I was happy to pay, even though it is not rebated by health insurance in Australia.
The results revealed that I had copper levels of 39.4.(The optimum is 2.4). I also had a high level of Aluminium. Although I still didn’t quite understand what all of this meant I began taking the vitamins that my doctor suggested. I was on the internet every night for weeks gathering as much information as I could.
For about 15 years I have suffered with migraines, back, neck and shoulder joint problems, eczema, anxiety and panic attacks. I was very withdrawn and avoided social occasions. When I was pregnant with my only wonderful boy I had Gestational Diabetes and was told to expect getting diabetes in the future.
Since taking the vitamins I have not had a migraine since January 6, 2003, my eczema has gone, I have had no back, neck or shoulder pain and I know longer have panic attacks and anxiety problems. I do however, have slight relapses as the copper is being chelated. Due to my problems and recovery progress I am passionate about getting information out to as many people as I can. I wrote a testimonial and sent it to many friends, family and workmates. So far my influence has saved 7 people from serious health problems. I have 6 other close friends that I am still trying to help. It is very frustrating when I can tell what deficiencies they have, but they are reluctant to take my advice. We only have a handful of medical practices that deal with nutritional health so there is not a lot of support.
My son has been on the same diet and vitamins as me as he got the copper levels from me when I was pregnant. He was always sick and had ear infections on a monthly basis as a toddler. He suffered badly with discoid eczema, insomnia, paranoia and also began showing signs of ADHD. He is nearly 6 and is a new child. He is very bright and extremely creative.I only take 1 ½ dexamphetamine a day and expect to be drug free by the end of the year.
I now believe that it is my purpose in life to spread the word and make the government and the medical professions take responsibility for not letting the public be aware of the problems with the soil in our state and the problems associated with heavy metals in today's society.
