Andy says in HTI that King ' hair test is not useful for detecting mineral transport problems in children. Their normal ranges do not depend on age, so you would expect kids to have low results. That may mean the high copper and high aluminum are fairly significant and worth addressing. If you don't choose to do a DDI test, then I think symptoms are a better guide in deciding whether mercury might be a problem. Response to a trial of chelation will clarify matters. -- > Does anyone want to take a look at the test? I have them scanned into > my computer so they are in a JPG file.
