Re: High Lead, Aluminum, Copper, and Beryllium levels showing on hair test

I Would agree with Galina's interpretation and would advise purchasing Andy's

HTI book from noamalgam.com to confirm this for yourself.

Thanks for your reply! Yes, I have both AC books and have read extensively and

repeatedly. I posted in hopes of feedback from others and for general support.

Have others with high lead readings in hairtests done further lead testing or

should we consider the hairtest enough to go on? I see that DMSA is the chelator

for both lead and mercury--just on a different schedule for the lead after at

time? And the Beryillium just kind of through us entirely--anyone dealing with

high Beryllium?

Thanks!
