Okay, wow, I admit this absolutely floored me. His hair test shows

extremely low calcium, etc., but this doesn't necessarily reflect a

nutritional shortage??? Back to Hair Test 101, I guess! That's

okay... Thank you SO much for pointing that out. I was ready to

load up on a bunch of supps...

Okay, HAIR TEST 101: (also known as " comments from the clueless " )

Calcium is low in hair: what does this mean? I don't know.

Does anyone know? One theory is that he is using up all

the calcium, and he has enough, but not excess, so it is

not in his hair. Another theory is that he is low on it,

that is why none in his hair.

Consider if something is HIGH: does that mean there is too

much of it? Or maybe it means that it is not being absorbed

at all and there is extreme deficiency?

I really am clueless. I don't know. BUT I think this is

common. I'm not sure anyone really knows.....

HAIR TEST 201: people with messed up mineral transport

(e.g. your son) CAN'T MOVE MINERALS AROUND NORMALLY.

So their hair levels of minerals might mean anything,

even more so. What we know is " things are out of whack " .

Okay, even given all that, I did try taking lithium

because my hair lithium is very low. (or was last time

I got a hair test). So, I think it MIGHT mean I need

more of it, and I tried taking some pills.

Advanced question: how CAN one test to find out nutrient

levels? {Answer: I don't know.}
