Hair Test Interpretation contains over seventy example hair tests with background information and interpretation. All of these tests are actual results from real people, with complete details of their health situation, what they are doing about it, and in many cases how they responded to different treatments. Several families are presented with hair tests and health histories for all members, one including identical twins. Several of the cases have before and after hair tests showing the effects of different treatment regimens on test results.
It is crucial for proper hair test interpretation to know how to recognize mercury’s characteristic signature. Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities explains how to interpret a hair test for mercury and other heavy metals. There is a step by step discussion with figures to make this easy along with examples using actual hair test results from real people.
Mercury interferes with how the hair element test results come out. On a toxic hair test, mercury will often be low and other minerals take on unusual values. Also, mercury can cause retention of other metals; arsenic, antimony, tin, titanium, zirconium, and aluminum are elements many people retain too much of when they have a mercury problem.
High hair levels of some essential elements do not always mean high body levels and interpretation is specific to each element. Some essential elements can be toxic if they show high in the hair. Others may show high in the hair when the body is deficient and needs more. Essential element levels results on a hair test often contain useful information about hormones and nutritional problems: poor digestion, adrenal issues, and thyroid problems will often show up in hair tests long before they can be identified by other laboratory methods.
Hair tests are worth doing because a surprising number of people diagnosed with incurable chronic health conditions actually turn out to have a heavy metal problem. Hair testing can often identify toxicity and chronic health conditions often disappear with proper detoxification. Heavy metal problems are easy to correct.
Hair Test Interpretation: Finding Hidden Toxicities also contains a discussion of how to detoxify toxic elements other than mercury. There is also a detailed chapter that explains how to follow the Cutler protocol.”
