Guest guest Posted June 9, 1999 Report Share Posted June 9, 1999 I read somewhere on this web site that with hair analyasis sometimes the mercury does not show up and that more specific test need to be done. It explains more on this site.. www.altcorp.com It seems this site is the company that runs these tests. Julee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I think I understand from reading here that the best test for mercury in the body is a hair test. My daughter's hair test came back showing no mercury and urine tests continue to show she is dumping mercury. Why is this?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 The fact that the DDI hair test shows little or no hair mercury levels is not significant and does NOT indicate there is NO mercury toxicity. The purpose of the DDI test is to detect mineral transport derangement, which is caused by mercury, and thereby indicate the presence of mercury toxicity. There are certain rules of interpretation for the DDI hair test which are applied to determine if mineral transport is in fact disturbed. These rules are detailed in Cutler's Hair Test Interpretation book (http://www.noamalgam.com/hairtestbook.html) Or you can post the hair test in the files section of this group and request an interpretation. breathofheaven@... wrote: > > I think I understand from reading here that the best test for mercury > in the body is a hair test.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 You have to apply the counting rules (to look for disordered mineral transport) or post the test results here for help applying them.
