Regarding arsenic in drinking water, I believe the standard was

----------Yes, that's what I remember reading also. My well water tested at 7

ppb, which isn't over the limit, but with me already having a mercury burden and

being a poor excretor of metals, it was high enough to cause problems for me.

It showed up very high on hair tests for me and my kids. And I would have never

known this, if I hadn't done hair tests looking for mercury and deranged mineral

transport. I would still be drinking my arsenic water.

So because of situations like this, I strongly advise people to do at least

one hair test, because it might help you discover a hidden problem, that you

never knew you had. Another example is copper toxicity. Most people don't know

they have it until they do a hair test. You can have multiple

toxicities.--------Jackie
