Re: need help getting hair elements test

Try:

http://www.directlabs.com/testtypes.php#hair

1-800-908-0000

To run the test without a doc, you need to go through direct labs

(though it is a doctor's data test). When you call them, ask for

the list discount.

Andy's Hair Test Interpretation book is based on DD, so that is what

I use, though I believe he has said that you could use Great Plains'

test as well.

I have a hair test done from Trace Elements Lab (that's what our holistic

doc uses) and I just bought Andy's book (try to read some tonight). i will

be supper disappointed if I cannot use it to interpret my hair test results.

Aren't these tests all similar? Don't they look for the same kind of

problems?

Thanks ahead

It is correct that evilly corrupt state and federal laws prohibit clinical

laboratories from

dointg direct business or talking to anyone who might actually know what they

are doing

and be able to help with some quality control and interpretive issues.

However given the current situation there are work-arounds, one being direct

laboratory

services. Anyone who knows other businesses that do this is encouraged to post.

Great Plains sends their tests to Doctor's Data.

In Hair Test Interpretation, Andy gives counting rules for a few

specific hair tests - Doctors Data is the best choice. Great Plains

is also fine, it is the same test. If you want to apply the counting

rules to check for mercury in a child, you need to use one of these.

GSDL used to be okay, but they never had good ref ranges and also

the test has changed since Andy developed counting rules for it.

So it is not a good choice.

For adults, there are a few other labs that can be used, but since

they do not break down the reference ranges by age they can't be

used for children. This includes Trace Elements, Inc.

You do the hair test once to decide if mercury is a problem.

There's no need to do more hair tests unless a person has high

hair copper (in that case it is repeated to assure the copper

level comes down with treatment).

No, progress should be obvious from improvement in symptoms and

Last year a friend ordered the hair elements test on

her own. I went to order it from Doctor's data and it

says you need a Dr. to order. Is this now true?

How to count a Trace Elements test is discussed on page 268 of Hair Test

Thanks for the test info - I will order.

Has anyone submitted these expenses to insurance or get reimbursed

through their FSA (flexible spending account - pre tax health care

account)?

Janet

[Guest guest]

I did Great Plains last year with Blue Cross of MN. They covered 100%. Was

awesome. I only wish our insurance hadn't changed. We had it for years and

it was only this past year did I jump on the biomedical ban wagon! Now I'm

in your ship and with FSA. I'm hoping to just give my credit card number

and pay cash and apply to deductible. So I'm hoping!

All I had to do for FSA to cover this was to submit the insurance

denial to the benefits office. FSA will also cover doc ordered

supplements - I just wrote a list out and doc signed it.

You an but it's harder to interpret..that is what mine was...my kids

were DDI..with that experience..I would go with DDI if you have a

choice. There was something on the DDI that was not on the

GSDL...can't remember what but at the time I was looking for it, I had

wished my test was DDI too.

I would go with the DDI personally.

Jada - Not sure who the question is geared towards, but here goes mine. My

doctor had to sign mine and give it a code. Great Plains sends all the

paper work and you fill out the insurance part and send a photo copy of your

insurance info. Was made very easy.
