Blood work versus Hair profile

[Guest guest]

I believe a hair profile has the potential to discover trace mineral

problems prior to other types of testing. Has anyone experience with this

firm? I've seen lots of information in the CR postings about blood workups,

but none about hair profiles. Would anyone care to share their opinion?

Thank you, I love this list and tremendously appreciate the ability to lurk

and learn.

Doctor's Data, Inc. is an independent reference laboratory providing data on

levels of toxic and essential elements in hair, and elements, amino acids,

and metabolites in blood and urine.

HAIR ELEMENTAL PROFILE

For a temporal record of metabolism and exposure to Pb, Hg, Cd, As and other

potentially toxic elements.

Use this test, in conjunction with other findings and patient symptoms, for

early detection of elemental aberrations, because deviations often appear in

hair prior to overt symptoms.

Requires only 0.25 grams of hair.
