Re hair test……..

I have some more questions regarding my hair test results, as I have
conflicting(opposite) results regarding copper toxicity.

I am hair test number 112 – 38 8yrs Male London, UK

----------------------- my count result
Counting rule #1 10
Counting rule #2 13
Counting rule #3 3
Counting rule #4 13
Counting rule #5 this rule is not met

I do NOT meet the counting rules. However:

Rule 3. I score 3 here; this is regarded as "unusual" (page 26)
Rule 4. I score 13 here; this is regarded as "unusual" (page 26)
If two or more are unusual then the level of suspicion can be bumped
up one level to "Suspicious"

So……………….my results do not meet the counting rules, but they
are "suspicious"

My mercury was in the red @ 4.1
My copper was in the red @ 59

Since my test does not meet the counting rules I have assumed that
I "probably" have normal mineral transport, therefore I need to
address Copper toxic problem.

So …. I have been talking zinc…about 100mg per day for about 3-4
weeks now.

Today, I have just had all my supplements muscle tested. I am taking
about 10-15 different things. (I know not everyone believes in
muscle testing, but I am happy to use this tool. I realise it is not
foolproof by any means, especially with mercury issues.)

When the zinc was tested it showed that I did not need it. It was
not harmful, but my body did not react like it needed it, nor would
benefit from having it.
So I stopped the muscle tester and we did a load more tests, because
that should not happen. I should have reacted like I needed it,
which is how I reacted to the muscle testing for….B12, magnesium,
vit C, betaine, Vit E, taurine, chromium, Vit B, Boron, VIt D, kelp
and CoQ10.

So we tested different types of zinc, Orotate, gluconate and
biofood. The result was the same….no positive reaction. My body does
not need it.

I explained the reason for taking it was because the hair test came
up copper toxic.

So next…..we tested copper, both in the form of Orotate and
gluconate. And the result was that my body reacted positive to it,
i.e that I was deficient in copper and that I needed to supplement
copper.

So now…….i have two tests, 1) hair test and 2) muscle test…..showing
opposite results. Ummmmm?

Next…….back to my "suspicious" hair test. My iodine is very very
close to low red. But it is not in the red. If that was in the red,
then my hair test would have met the counting rules. I would have
assumed that the high copper was not correct as I have deranged
mineral transport.

Next…….Iodine. I had been supplementing Himalayan rock salt for 8
months at the time of the hair test. I have been doing The
Watercure. 1 small teaspoon every day, for 8 months. I did ask here
at the time if this could affect my iodine count on the hair test
but no one knew. I have been reading all about adrenals & thyroids
recently and have noticed repeated references to supplementing
Himalayan rock salt for the iodine it contains.

Do you see what I'm thinking? I'm thinking my supplementing of the
salt has increased my iodine, which has made my hair test look like
it has normal mineral transport when in fact….i have deranged
mineral transport and I am not copper toxic.

Phew!

What do u think?
