Mercury derranges mineral transport which shows up as skewed minerals on a hair test. What lab did the test? You really should go to directlabs.com and order a DDI and by Cutlers hair test book. You can use the test to determine the probability of mineral transport derrangement. Derrangement of mineral transport is present in mercury toxic individuals, pregnant, lactating or some rare genetic disorder you probably already know about that if itwas that serious you would know about by mainstream medicine. In addition this derrangement normally shows up with low mercury. Only a few select people will actually be able to pick up mercury problem by high mercury and these are the type of people that need to chelate the least because their body is already getting rid of the mercury just not as fast as it is being put in by fillngs and other stuff. Depending on your symptoms which I imagine you think they are mercury related copper can cause the exact same symptoms. Copper will remain low in hair until you take copper reducing measures then it will dramatically rise in your hair and your blood and you will get copper dumps fooling you into thinking the treatement is not working. Mercury can also cause retention of copper and it is not uncommon to have both as both are excreted by the liver.
