Timing of Hair Elements Test

[Guest guest]

I want to get my Hair Elements test done through Great Plains Lab. I

did one about a year ago also through them. According to the Counting

rules I did not qualify for mercury toxicity. In all 5 rules I was in

the " normal " category. I actually fell into the category of 1% of the

people whose toxic elements all show up in the green area. This is

despite the fact that I have had around 10 amalgams for at least 15

years and a root canaled tooth with a metal rod, and a metal bridge

that came apart in my mouth about 3 years ago. I am also a Crohn's

patient since approx. 14 years, with 2 bowel resection surgeries.

Sometime in May of this year I had 2 amalgams removed where only the

rubber dam was used (I ended up breathing in some of the vapor - I

could smell it so I know that), and I was asked to take Chlorella

before and after the procedure. I had not read Andy's book yet.

About 5 weeks ago I had the root-camaled tooth extracted, as well as a

wisdom tooth that had a huge amalgam in it.

Just this last Friday I had the remaining 3 amalgams removed. But

before I went in I cut some of my hair at the nape of the neck, called

up the lab, and they said it could stay in an envelope for a week

before I received their kit.

My thought was that this hair sample of the time period between the 2

amalgam removal appointments may give a better picture of body burden,

to compare with once I start chelation.

Is it better to use this recent sample or wait another month (just

before I start chelation) and use the newer hair growth of after one

month? Should I get both hair samples tested - the one just before the

appointment and the one after another month of growth?

Thank You.
