Hi Lawdog

I too did not meet the counting rules either, but I am for sure mercury toxic. Chelating with DMSA has confirmed that.

Have you asked the people on “Yahoo frequent dose chelation” to review it? They have a lot of experience in these tests. There is a lot to be learned from them. it is free and you can only benefit from their experience. You need to join the group then read the files about how to post your hair test so that they can review it and see what it means.

(sign up for the daily email, anything else causes too many emails)

You can then post your hair test results here : http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/healingnetwork/hairtest.html
(You can look at mine if u want to, its “hair test 112 series – 38yrs male London, uk” )

You need to give some background info about yr history, symptoms etc….

Then they help you understand what it all means.

I am more than happy to have a look too and help if I can, but I have only looked at mine and read a book about it. Those people on the Yahoo group help people every week and will be able to help you a millions times better than I can.

To understand the hair test you need to buy the “hair test interpretation: finding hidden toxicities” also by Cutler.

In AI there is a self diagnosis part but it does not deal with understanding what the hair test means. You should read AI first.

I learned many parts of my body where screwed up from the mercury and the hair test showed me what I needed to attend to. I have a summery of what I figured out from my tests if u want to see that.
