Re: Did I get the right test

[Guest guest]

The hair elements test is the one to get.

nne

Can someone let me know if I got the correct hair test kit from DDI?

I got two - one is labeled " hair elements " and the other " hair toxic

elements " . Moira's site says to get the " hair elements " test, but

someone posted recently that the test is called " essential elements " .

The " hair elements " paperwork lists some essential elements like

calcium and zinc but also many non-essential elements like cadmium,

arsenic and the heavy metals. Is this the right test?

Thanks for any input!

there is a part of the " results page " that has a heading

" essential and other elements " . Could have been a reference

to that??? Maybe? (If you want to read about this section

heading or look at the format of the results see the

HOW_TO_hair_test file. You can also use a link there to

go to an example at the DDI site.)

yes. I don't know what the paperwork says

The test results DO list toxic elements (as well as essential

elements like calcium).

FYI the " toxic elements " test test for MORE different toxic

elements, and does NOT have the essential elements. Just

lotsa toxic ones.

Probably...

Thanks Moira. I thought I'd read here or in Andy's book (can't recall

where now) that it's a good idea to do both, but if the " hair

elements " test covers mercury and several other toxic elements it

doesn't seem necessary to do both. In fact, I just compared the list

of toxic elements on both tests and it looks like there's only a

couple of obscure ones on the toxic elements test not covered in

the " regular " elements test. Great - it'll save me 40 bucks :-)

generally it is not necessary to do both. There might be

some cases where someone wants to do both. The hair elements

has the more " common " toxics. The toxic elements has those

plus the " more obscure " toxics. So, maybe someone trying

to look under every rock, and not finding the common toxics,

wanting to look farther.... they might do the toxic elements

test...
