A hair test is a good indicator of mercury toxicity IF you know how to read it. Reading it is bloody hard, but loads of mercury toxic people have done the hair tests so if you compare the tests you can see if you too are mercury toxic. Notice the word “indicator”. i.e. it indicates if there is a problem. i.e. it helps in understanding but is not always a confirmation. To compare tests with others…all the tests have to be the same…hence the need to do the same test. All these lab use different values and methods in testing.

Your link does not give the lab used, but it did say this “Dr. David Quig, Vice President, Scientific Support, Doctor's Data Laboratory talks about the hair analysis procedure and benefits.”

……………and Doctors Data Lab is the people have been using to compare notes. Cool.

That Cutler bloke also wrote a nice long book about it, which is real interesting and you will learn lots and lots about yourself….but stick with Amalgam illness for now as its heavy duty and you need to read AI first.

If you did the right test, then you simply post it somewhere and then some really cool helpful mercury knowledgable people help you understand what it means. Free of charge too.That’s that Yahoo group Bex suggested you join in her earlier post. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/frequent-dose-chelation/

Test needs to have been a “Hair elements test” by Doctors Data inc. (DDI)
