This is really quite interesting.
Level correlation with toxicity – Even with the more accurate RBC cholinesterase, the point at which various authors have suggested that toxicity begins to appear ranges from 40% to 75% of normal values. (Carlton, Simpson et al. 1998) (Romano, McDonough et al. 2001; Clark 2002)
MY RESULTS AND THE TRANSLATION:
Cholinesterase RBC came in at 11694 IU/L and the range given was 9572-15031IU/L.
So even though the labs mark me as green. If symptoms noted by the CDC start at 40%…. my values are elevated enough that it very likely is my culprit in making me ill for the last 10 months.TEST YOURSELF: I found the lab test to see if you are holding toxins from the water and air exposure here in SWFL from the Blue Green Algae and Red Tide (Cyanotoxin/Brevetoxin). This has been confirmed effective by a AnyLabTestNow representative.
The test is called the Cholinestrase RBC Plasma test.
You can do it at either www.anylabtestnow.com or www.questdiagnostics.com code 338. And labcorps has it too. https://www.labcorp.com/test-menu/22471/cholinesterase-rbc
Requires no doctors orders. I checked with them to make sure they offer it and they do, its just not listed on their site (as they have 10,000 tests the database would be huge to create).
At Any Lab Test Now it’s $183 (they don’t accept insurance).
Quest Diagnostics is also in the $180 range. Lab corps does not accept patients without a doctors order, and insurance may or may not cover it so be sure to check beforehand.
There is free testing going on for the cyanobacteria at the Broadway palms theater soon, BUT BEWARE you dont even get your test results. It’s a blind group study!
TO DETOX:
As mentioned in previous blogs, I have just started day 1 of the neurotoxin detox today Sept 27. Its a 10 day cleanse. Ill let you know if it works. If so, ill be sharing!
