No requirement on length, as in too short. If the hair is long it says to cut

close to the scalp and use the 1 " closest to the root follicle. The test does

specify that it come from the back of the head. If you had a bunch of short hair

from the back of the head it would work fine.

Good afternoon, all,

Quick question regarding the length of hair for the hair elements test.

Does the hair have to be more than an inch long?

I just had my son's haircut. Dang it!!!! I may need to wait a month or so to let

the hair on the back of his head to grow longer than an inch.

Thank you,

Jerry

Unfortunately, mercury and other metals go into the cells of the internal organs

and the brain and stay there. They are not in the bloodstream or the urine or

the stool unless you are chelating.

mineral transport or the minerals moving through the body are all messed up.

There levels are very low, or very high, or some other " deranged " way. Andy

Cutler has devised a way of " counting " how many of these levels that are " off "

and when a certain amount of these levels are off, there is a 39 times out of

40 chance that you have mercury poisoning. What you are looking for is the

effect that mercury has on the body. This is also why kids with heavy metal

toxicity can't eat certain foods. The metals mees up the enzyme production in

the body which is what the body uses to digest many of these foods.

> I called Doctor's Data to order a hair elements test for my daughter, and they

said they needed a doctor's order before they could send me one. I was surprised

because several people have posted a code that gets you a discount, so I thought

I could order it myself. So I had our DAN doc order it. On the phone, his nurse

said if I really wanted it, that he would be happy to order it for me, but that

he really doesn't put much stock in that test since hair is an excretory product

and shows what the body has already gotten rid of, not what the body is

currently dealing with. She said he would have preferred to test her urine for

heavy metals because it would show what her body is currently dealing with. I'm

reading Andy's book, but have only just begun. Can anyone explain the difference

between the tests and why this DAN doc believes the urine test is more reliable?
