Absolutely! It is highly likely he has mercury in him if he has had amalgams for years and/or other exposure and been poisoned. It is unlikely one will get an accurate measure of mercury from a hair test, because it can depend on so many factors. Whether the source of exposure is still there. Whether the person is retaining or excreting the mercury or not. So often those retaining mercury show the lowest levels and can be the sickest patients of all, because they are having trouble excreting it. But normally once amalgams are gone, hair levels of mercury often do show to be low because it's bound up in tissue/organs.

Sometimes when one is actively detoxing - mercury levels can show to increase in the hair (and urine etc) as it's coming out. I was one of those that retained mercury tightly and showed very low levels. So low in fact that one very researched doctor (in mercury) in my country was very concerned and said that the levels were so low as to be abnormal, considering there is always some exposure to mercury and even healthy people show a higher level of it as the body eliminates it.

There are many reasons for low or high levels of mercury and that's why it is important to check the other mineral levels out to find out what is going on. As mercury poisoning usually causes plenty of imbalances elsewhere and that is often the tell tale sign mercury is at work.

The best protocol to use in my opinion is Dr Cutler's to get mercury out of the body and brain. The safest and most effective I have ever tried.
