hair vs. urine to test for heavy metals?????

[Guest guest]

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?

Thanks,
