Re: hair test -- copper high

[Guest guest]

Some follow-up questions about hair copper.

1. Can the mineral transport be deranged by copper alone?

2. Can the swimming pool affect the test results for copper? My son

was swimming at the outdoor pool all summer. However, there were 2

months between the last swim and the hair test.

3. What other tests should we do to confirm copper toxicity? The AI

book talks about the RBC copper. What else?

Thanks,

Serg
