Sunshine:

I am no expert, though I have Cutler's book too.

You do not meet counting rules, neither did I. But your mercury level is high. I think page 160 might explain. "Some hair tests are easy to interpret because the person's mineral transport proteins are tolerant of mercury, their mineral transport is not deranged, but they get exposed to a really large amount of mercury and it shows up nicely in their hair."

Like I said, I am no expert, but I have been tracking my results over time. I could not attach a word file - how do I convert this to acceptable file type?

Anyway, you can see toxic levels coming down. Unfortunately, no one told me to get a test before I started massive supplementation and chelation! So levels are already lower than they probably were. But I did not show high mercury in hair, but you can see some deranged mineral transport, and my blood tests show classic mercury signs of low dhea-s, and testosterone levels.

My question to you is like "Do you eat titanium rods" for breakfast or what? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> But if you look at page 106, Cutler says it is not uncommon to have elevated titanium levels with mercury induced mineral transport derangement. But you don't meet counting rules. Hmmmm? But I think connection is there.

Like me, you show low iodine and lithium, see page 124 and 125 - you probably have seen this by now. I would be interested in hearing what you have figured out, and how you might treat low lithium and iodine levels.

Thanks!
