hair test interpretation help (part 2 - dad)

[Guest guest]

This is my dad's test. My biggest questions regarding him (though

don't limit yourself to my questions, I am too ignorant to know all

the questions to ask at this point—and yes, I am ordering HTI this

weekend) are: are toxic elements accurate for such deranged mineral

transport? The toxic elements look pretty healthy, and the essential

and other elements look whacked. And it looks like he meets 2

counting rules. My understanding is that indicates an even higher

likelihood of mercury toxicity. Does it also correlate to being

sicker and having a longer, harder road to good health?

As for his current health, he has an assortment of " typical " (not

debilitating) health ailments—depression, sleep problems,

environmental allergies, acid reflux, and he's cold-—he keeps his

office very warm. I think there's a lot of subtle stuff that adds up

to not feeling really good, but not diagnosed or debilitating. His

liver is not great due to excessive alcohol and even though he has not

consumed alcohol for many years at this point, I don't think his liver

is normal--would that affect the hair results?
