Hi Donna,

They are terrific.

I'm thinking that most people on this board won't do the test

because it's not DDI lab doing the analysis (counting rules)...but

for those that can't afford DDI maybe this is one alternative?

I hope they know what they're getting into with reading the results.

We all know that mercury doesn't always show up as high on hair

tests.

Hi Hillary,

I have written to greenpeace in the past about mercury in the

vaccines... Maybe if they get enough letters, They might look into

it also...And maybe someone needs to write greenpeace and explain

about autism and that the mercury doesnt show up high, and how the

children can not excrete mercury. They are a world wide

organization, it would be great to have them on our side against the

mercury in the vaccines!

Suze and others:

TIA,

, according to some it's definitely not enough. It only tells you how

much mercury is in your hair. Some folks DO detox mercury through hair, but

I think it's a very small percent - 10 percent according to Hall

Cutler (author of " Amalgam Illness " ). It won't tell you how much is in your

kidneys, liver or brain, where it tends to accumulate. But it *could* be

helpful - just not definitive on its own. If you do do hair tests, the folks

on the list and Andy Cutler seem to think the Doctors Data

lab is the most reliable one for hair testing.

But it might tell you something. Check out:

Thanks, Suze. It doesn't sound worth it to me, then. I wasn't worried

about mercury until you got obsessed with it! Maybe it's time to get those

fillings out....

I would definitely get them out BEFORE I started showing symptoms of

toxicity. And especially if you're considering having children any time in

the near future. You will need to detox for several months after the

fillings are out before you should consider conceiving.
