DDI hair test result interpretation

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Just going through the protocol and had a hair test done. Counting rule #4

seems to be relevant meaning I have deranged mineral transport, but I am

wondering if there is anything else that can be interpreted from this test, and

if it gives any indication to the degree to which its deranged. Any thoughts

would be helpful.

- just post that jpg of yours to the AM list files section.

Copying always leaves errors, which I then have to puzzle through.

Dave.

Thanks very much Dave, I will come up with something different. I thought these

were hard to read in ascii format. Unfortunately the office just gave me a B & W

copy of the test, but what I can do is replicate it in an excel spreadsheet if

you have excel. In fact, I think that it should be the default format since you

can also add the color bars etc. I will see what I cna come up with to

digitally replicate the data.

From Andys book, I seem to meet counting rule 4 and 5 and the toxic elements

are all relatively low with the exception of Al which was quite high and As

which was elevated.

Let me know if you have excel and if not I will do it some other way.

Thanks,
