It increases the chance.

Andy Cutler's counting rules (to determine the chance of mercury

poisoning) use hair tests from DDI. It is possible to apply his

counting rules to a GSDL test - but it is a bit tricky. If you want

someone to evaluate your hair test it would be best to scan it and ask

DeanNetwork to post it on his web page.

That is because many toxic people are less able to excrete metals,

including in hair. THe lower the hair mercury the more suspicious the

test is.

They were in my urine analysis,

Read more first and start on the supplements that support chelation.

It states that low potassium, sodium and lithium are all signs of

heavy metal toxicity! I had these VERY VERY LOW:

-Lithium: indetectable low (
