Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I replied to you via your email. But one thing I touched on, was we use head and shoulders shampoo,(a lot, as he loves to wash his hair). I saw on the internet that this can elevate zinc. Has anyone else heard this? Oh, and his zinc levels were actually normal, but high normal, which was surprising with the high copper, I think. Sio > Why do you think he is high in zinc and copper? Zinc helps to lower copper.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 That was my experience too. I used the same shampoo and my zinc hair levels were high. Zinc is in the shampoo so I discounted the reading. Most of all my mineral levels were low so I certainly didn't think my zinc levels were high at all. I didn't have any further testing. No additional blood evaluation. Getting a test from even these alternative doctor is like pulling teeth also.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 The idea is to use 's baby shampoo or some other shampoo which doesn't contain metals for a month or so befor getting the test done! > That was my experience too.
