Just wanted to say thanks for all the time you spend on the hair tests for our

kids. And, you are really good at interpreting them. So appreciative.

Recommendations from Andy's Hair Test book based on this hair test

would include: magnesium and taurine for yellow low Mg; zinc,

starting with wt in pounds plus 20 mg; iron to reduce uranium.

Actually, he says the threshold for uranium is .5, but if

is deficient you may want to try this. I took it for 6-8 weeks

and my uranium dropped from red to green on the next hair test.

Chromium and vanadium are a bit of a quandary. Andy says take

chromium to reduce red high vanadium, but you think your exposure

to hexavalent chromium may be an issue. If chromium were red high,

Andy would say take vanadium to lower it, but obviously you don't

want to do that. (I wonder if the body is retaining vanadium to

deal with the chromium? But that is speculation on my part.) Andy

says the trivalent chromium in supplements is not toxic, but I

have no idea how supplementing it would affect things. This is a

question for Andy.

Hair cobalt is not related to B12. Markers for B-12 deficiency

are high MCV and MCH on a CBC, and elevated methylmalonate in urine.
