Re: Question about supplementation

There is actually an inverse relationship between calcium on the hair test and

indications for supplementation. For high hair calcium, the recommendation is

to give more.

You really need the Hair Test Interpretations by Andy Cutler to get all the

subtle nuances in the hair test. You should be able to google the book and get

a place to purchase it.

Good luck,

[ ] Question about supplementation

How reliable is the hair test as an indicator of what to supplement

with?

For instance, if my daughter is off the charts in red on calcium for

example, should I NOT supplement with that?

Thanks,

it. lol!

She is actually in the red zone for molybdenum and iodine. Do you

know if there's an inverse relationship btw. iodine too?

I don't think iodine is a good indicator of body burden on the hair test, or you

can't tell from the value on the hair test what is in the body. Moly, I think,

but check, does not have an inverse relationship or is not to be supplemented

if in the red.

Happy reading!

High results can mean either there is toxicity, or there is deficiency

because the body is wasting it. As indicated, high calcium would

probably mean wasting. You might try giving a calcium supplement, and

give it along with magnesium and vitamin D, so it can be absorbed.
