Toxic Heavy Metals and Radiology

| Hello,
I have been suffering with many aliments. Movement disorders
classified as dystonia, which included spasmodic torticollis, spasmodic
dysphonia and writers cramp. Horrible tinnitus for many years. An
extremely extensive and severe skin rash affecting my upper body from
top chest up and also my male genitals. I have been taking hundreds of
well researched health supplements, anti-oxidants,
anti-inflammatories..to stay alive. I recently had a provoked heavy
metals urine test which shows elevated lead and iron levels and tin
barely in the green zone. A magnetic compass will deflect the needle
when placed around areas of my body, head included. A year ago I asked
for a series of skull x-rays so I could see for my self what might be
going on. The images have very light borders on areas on the fringes of
the skull bone and very sharp distince narrow lines on some of the
front facial areas around the eye sockets. No mention was made of
possible iron or lead desposits on the skull x-rays and they were
declared normal. I have reason to suspect that these x-rays do shows
signs of heavy metal toxicity but I'm not a film expert. I did help
shoot x-rays thru submarine hulls for weld quality in the past. Is
there a way to confirm or test for the presence of heavy metals in bone
using x-ray? Is this done for the whole body? I'm not very knowledgable
about how this done or who does it or what to ask for. ANy advice is
appreciated. Thank you.

I am not and expert in radiology but do know something about x-rays There is
a chance that what you want is possible but would have to be custom designed
for you. Do not expect to find my suggestion at a typical or atypical
imaging lab. "very light borders on areas on the fringes of
the skull bone and very sharp distince narrow lines on some of the
front facial areas around the eye sockets," are deposits of heavy metals or
their compounds, x-ray fluorescence may be the way to go.
The technique would use monochromatic (narrow energy band) isotopic x-ray or
gamma ray photons. They would excite the suspected deposits to fluoresce
characteristic x-rays. The energy spectrum of the of these x-rays would be
measured using a proportional counter or solid state detector feeding a
multichannel pulse height analyzer. The energy spectrum will tell you what
the heavy element there are. However, I have no idea what the
signal-to-noise ratio would be for such a procedure. I have no idea as to
what kind of a dose you would get.
I do find it hard to believe that you would have enough ferromagnetic
material deposited in your body to deflect a magnetic compass.
Good luck. Let us know more about what happens.
