TK--- she is incorrect - Hg only stays in the blood after acute or

chhronic exposure for a fairly short limited time. unless there is

more exposure or something weird is happening that we are not aware of.

Your test doesn't meet the counting rules, but the very low

lithium and the low mercury raise a bit of suspicion. False

negatives are not uncommon, especially if you've been supplementing

for awhile or your exposure was a long time ago.

, if " false negatives " are not uncommon, how can we rely on

any of the results? *sigh* I'm thinking to do the hair analysis, but

this makes me wonder why...
